Toxins
Carlie Hanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss my mom but I don't call her enough
But I still got time to get
Higher than the sun though
I go to parties but don't know how to talk
How to talk but you either
I overthink until I can't open up
So we just lay here fading into our thoughts
Oh you say you're okay but I know
That you're not, no, you're not, oh
But me either

I see you two, three times a week
Ain't got no money in my jeans
So help me out, I need to breathe
Help me out, I need to breathe
Take a ride inside your whip
I pass the aux, you pass the spliff
We can escape into the bliss
Escape into the bliss

I don't need nothing but you and your toxins
I don't need nothing but you and your toxins
Toxins, toxins

I know my iPhone might be bad for my health
But when it's dying, feel like dying myself
Am I insane or just like everyone else?
I grow numb, I grow numb
I don't know where it comes from

It happens two, three times a week
Ain't got no money in my jeans
So help me out, I need to breathe
Help me out, I need to breathe
Take a ride inside your whip
I pass the aux, you pass the spliff
We can escape into the bliss
We can escape into the bliss

I don't need nothing but you and your toxins
I don't need nothing but you and your toxins
Your toxins toxins, toxins
Yeah you, just you and, just you
Toxins, toxins

Two, three times a week no money in my jeans
(No money in my jeans)
Take a ride inside your whip
I pass the aux, you pass the
I pass the aux, you pass the spliff

I don't need nothing but you and your toxins
I don't need nothing but you and your toxins




Toxins, toxins baby, no baby, no uh oh
I know you do too toxins, toxins

Overall Meaning

In "Toxins" by Carlie Hanson, the lyrics express a sense of longing and escape from reality through the use of various vices. The song begins with the admission that the singer misses their mother but doesn't make enough effort to reach out to her. This suggests a feeling of detachment or disconnect from their loved ones. Despite this, the singer still finds time to engage in activities that help them escape from their emotions, symbolized by getting "higher than the sun." However, even at parties, the singer struggles to communicate effectively, indicating a social anxiety or difficulty in expressing themselves.


The second verse introduces a specific person whom the singer frequently encounters. They acknowledge their financial struggles by mentioning having no money in their jeans, creating a sense of vulnerability. The singer asks for help to breathe, suggesting that they feel suffocated or overwhelmed by their circumstances. The reference to passing the aux (auxiliary) and passing the spliff implies the shared experience of using music and drugs as a means of escaping reality and finding temporary bliss.


The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer doesn't need anything or anyone other than this specific person and their "toxins" (which can be interpreted as substances or behaviors that provide temporary relief). By stating that they don't need anything else, it implies a dependency on these vices to cope with their emotions or life situations.


The bridge raises questions about the singer's mental state, pondering whether they are insane or just like everyone else. The repetition of "I grow numb" suggests a numbing of emotions or a detachment from oneself. The admission of not knowing where these feelings come from further highlights the singer's confusion about their sense of self and emotional well-being.


The final chorus reiterates the reliance on this person and their toxins, emphasizing the need for their presence and escape from reality. The repetition of the word "toxins" can also be seen as a metaphorical representation of the negative aspects or coping mechanisms in their life that provide temporary relief but may also be harmful.


Overall, "Toxins" explores themes of escapism, emotional detachment, and the search for temporary relief from the struggles of life. It delves into the complexities of human relationships and the different ways individuals cope with their emotions and circumstances.
