Poison
CODY JON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things were looking good
'Till I opened my eyes and saw that
You were just a skunk
Sprayin' muck on my life
Things went from bad to worse
I think you got cursed
You know this ain't a fairytale
Everybody's whispering
They think they know what's up
But you and me can only see
The blood in the cup
Time is of the essence
I've learnt that by now
I think you gotta figure this out

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (Poison)
Sweet poison (Poison)

Du du du du
Du du du doo
Mmmmmmm
Du du du doo
Du du du
Poison (Poison)

Things were peachy sweet
Then you pulled out my teeth
I would love to break your heart
If you had one to start
Things were feeling fine
Then I tasted the wine and could see
I was being poisoned
You fed me cyanide

Everybody's whispering
They think they know what's up
But you and me can only see
The blood in the cup
Time is of the essence
I've learnt that by now
I think that you should figure this out

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (Poison)
Sweet poison (Poison)

You put on your demeanor
Like the paint on your eyes
I'm only showing up
If you're saying goodbye
You always need a sucker for your bite
Because you're poison

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (Poison)
Sweet poison (Poison)

Du du du du
Du du du doo
Mmmmmmm
Du du du doo




Du du du
Poison (Poison)

The lyrics "I would love to break your heart, if you had one to start" indicate that the other person is callous and cruel, and the singer has had enough of the lies and toxicity.


The chorus refers to the other person as "poison" and "sweet poison," indicating that while the singer knows the relationship is bad for them, they are still drawn to the other person. The line "You always need a sucker for your bite" implies that the other person is manipulative and preys on vulnerability.


Overall, "Poison" is a clear and poignant depiction of a toxic relationship that has turned poisonous. The lyrics are straightforward and powerful, portraying the devastation caused by a toxic partner.


Line by Line Meaning

Things were looking good 'Till I opened my eyes and saw that You were just a skunk Sprayin' muck on my life
At first, things seemed positive in the relationship. But upon introspection, I realized that you were a negative influence in my life, constantly causing issues and making things messy.


Things went from bad to worse I think you got cursed You know this ain't a fairytale
The situation deteriorated with time, and it seems like there may be something supernatural at play. But this isn't a storybook with a happy ending.


Everybody's whispering They think they know what's up But you and me can only see The blood in the cup Time is of the essence I've learnt that by now I think you gotta figure this out
People are talking about us, spreading rumors and trying to guess what's happening. But only we know the full story and how dire the situation is. We don't have much time left to fix things, so you need to step up and take action.


I ain't got time To waste on your lies You've got one foot in the grave I got the shovel and spade You're poison (Poison) Sweet poison (Poison)
I'm done with your deception and manipulation. You're on the brink of disaster, but I'm the one who's going to dig your grave. You're toxic to me, but I can't resist you even though I know it's bad for me.


Things were peachy sweet Then you pulled out my teeth I would love to break your heart If you had one to start Things were feeling fine Then I tasted the wine and could see I was being poisoned You fed me cyanide
At first, our relationship was enjoyable and pleasant. But you caused me pain and discomfort, removing my ability to defend myself. I would want to hurt you in return, but I don't think you have the capacity to care. Things then turned sour quickly, and I realized that you were poisoning me with deceit and hurt.


You put on your demeanor Like the paint on your eyes I'm only showing up If you're saying goodbye You always need a sucker for your bite Because you're poison
You put on a fake personality or façade, like makeup enhancing your appearance. I'm only coming to see you if it's the final goodbye. You constantly need someone to hurt or control–you feed off the pain of others as if it's nutrition. You're a venomous influence on everyone around you.

POISON lyrics

[verse 1]
Things were looking good
‘Till I opened my eyes and saw that
You were just a skunk
Sprayin’ muck on my life
Things went from bad to worse
I think you got cursed
You know this ain't a fairytale

[pre-chorus]
Everybody’s whispering
They think they know what’s up
But you and me can only see
The blood in the cup
Time is of the essence
I’ve learnt that by now
I think you gotta figure this out

[chorus]
I ain’t got time
To waste on your lies
You’ve got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (poison)
Sweet poison (poison)
