[edit] Song Information
The song is about two friends of the band from Vancouver, British Columbia, who died due to heroin addiction[citation needed]. The lyrics reflect the effects of drugs, and the tragedy of the speaker's life; "I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?" "Just one more hit, and I'll be fine. I swear to god this'll be my one last time!"
[edit] Music video
The music video for the single was released on November 19, 2006. The video begins with a rooster on a engine of a car with Billy Talent in it. The band rides through several orange falling leaves and arrive at a dinner party full of monsters and goblins. One of the monsters ask the band to play and they obey, playing their song "Fallen Leaves" in front of the crowd. At one point, Billy Talent walks through a dark forest and finds a pool with a woman inside of it; the woman wakes up in the water and starts to panic. The video suggests the effects of the streets on these people "Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down" . The monsters and goblins might symbolize the people who have been affected.
