Discover the story of the song > Back To Hell – Alkaline Trio

The protagonist is comparing themselves to pills and bugs, saying that they will always be there for their partner. However, they feel like their partner's guilt is weighing them down and they are falling apart because of it. They want to break free from this never-ending cycle and go back to a place of suffering rather than the overwhelming guilt. They feel like their partner is consuming them and taking away everything they have left. The protagonist wants to be taken away from heaven and given their sins back, as they no longer trust anyone or anything they are told. They want to be saved from the pain and be turned to dust. In the end, they want to be sent back to hell, because they have had enough of heaven.
