Musical Success
Day's first two albums, Parrot Stories (2009) and The World Is Mine (I Don't Know Anything) (2010) received marginal success, although mostly contained in Day's YouTube audience.
His 2011 winter single "Forever Yours" sold a hundred thousand copies worldwide in one week without any record label support or major radio airplay, landing on the UK Official Chart at #4 on Christmas Day. "Forever Yours" sales beat out singles by artists such as Coldplay, Rihanna, and Katy Perry.
Day’s follow-up single "Lady Godiva" in April 2012 was released amidst sold-out signing appearances in stores around the country (over a thousand at HMV’s Edinburgh store alone). The song made the UK Top 20 and charted in fifteen other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, Sweden, Norway, Spain and reached number 1 in Slovenia.
In May 2012, Day released three more singles; "Good Morning Sunshine", "She Walks Right Through Me", and "This Kiss" on a single day, selling nearly 150,000 copies. Along with "Forever Yours," "Lady Godiva," and several other tracks, Day's third album Epigrams and Interludes was released in March 2013.
Day has also released songs with the bands Chameleon Circuit and Sons of Admirals.

Poison
Alex Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your blood like ice,
One look could kill,
My pain your thrill,
I wanna love you but I better not touch,
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop,
I wanna kiss you but I want it to much,
Poison,
Your poison running through my veins,
Poison,
No I don’t wanna break these chains.
Your mouth so hard,
Your win I’m caught,
Your skin so wet,
Black lace on sweat,
I hear you calling and its needles and pins,
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name,
Don’t wanna touch you but you’re under my skin,
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous
Poison,
Your poison running through my veins
Poison
No I don’t wanna break these chains.
Poison
One look could kill,
My pain your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch,
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop,
I wanna kiss you but I want it to much,
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous
Poison,
Your poison running through my veins,
Poison,
No I don’t wanna break these chains.
Poison, running deep inside my veins
The lyrics to Alex Day's song "Poison" depict a complex, toxic relationship. The singer is clearly enamored with the subject of the song but is also aware of the danger that comes with getting too close to them. The opening stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song with "Your cruel device, Your blood like ice". The object of the singer's desires is portrayed as a powerful and dangerous person, with the ability to cause harm despite their alluring qualities. The line "one look could kill, my pain your thrill" speaks to the intensity of the situation, with the singer recognizing that they are in pain but being drawn into the excitement of the situation nonetheless.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of push and pull, with the singer wanting to get closer to the object of their desire but also being wary of the harm that could come from doing so. The repeated refrain of "I wanna love you but I better not touch" highlights the dilemma that the singer is facing as they struggle with their feelings. The use of words like "hard", "needles", and "pins" in other parts of the song add to the sense of danger, with the singer recognizing that their attraction to this person could ultimately lead to their downfall. Despite these warnings, the singer cannot resist the allure of the object of their desire.
In summary, "Poison" is a song about the dangers of being attracted to someone who could ultimately lead to one's downfall. The lyrics depict a situation where the singer is both drawn to and repelled by the object of their desires, recognizing the potential harm that could come from getting too close to them.
