Poison
DJ Gollum (feat. Scarlet) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were the only ones you meant
The love that you took from me
Is how I was spent
I saved up for days
Just to love you always
But not forever
You saw to that
You gotta poison in you in me
That's how you poisoned all of my memories
Of you and all you do and all you do
You gotta poison in you in me
That's why I poisoned all of my daydreams
About you and everything that you do and all you do
The last words I said to you were the only ones untrue
The shit that i took from you is how I knew I was through
You saved up for days just to find other ways
To make me think of forever
You thought you were the man
You gotta poison in you in me
That's how you poisoned all of my memories
Of you and all you do and all you do
You gotta poison in you in me
That's why I poisoned all of my daydreams
About you and everything that you do and all you do
You like your own reflection
But can't make a connection
Tried to bait my reaction
Much to my objections
You gave me taste you so I would chase you
But If that were the case
How could I end up in this place
Where you're not
I never missed you
And I don't intend to start
You gotta poison in you in me
That's how you poisoned all of my memories
Of you and everything that you do
You gotta poison in you in me
That's why I poisoned all of my daydreams
About you and everything that you do
The song "Poison" by DJ Gollum feat Scarlet is a haunting ballad about a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics speak about the last words exchanged between two individuals, and how the love that was once there has turned into poison. The line "The last words you said to me were the only ones you meant" speaks volumes about the true intentions of one of the individuals in the relationship.
The lyrics suggest that the love that was shared between the couple was one-sided, with one individual giving more than the other. Lines like "I saved up for days just to love you always" show the commitment one person had towards the relationship, while the other was not invested as much. The repeated refrain of "You gotta poison in you in me" highlights the toxicity of the relationship and how it has affected both individuals.
The final lines of the song suggest that one person in the relationship was manipulative and played mind games with the other. "You gave me taste you so I would chase you, But if that were the case, How could I end up in this place where you're not" suggests that the individual tried to make the other person chase them but ultimately didn't care enough about the relationship to stay.
Line by Line Meaning
The last words you said to me
The final words spoken between us
Were the only ones you meant
Only the last thing you said had meaning
The love that you took from me
The affection that you stole from me
Is how I was spent
It was my entire investment in you
I saved up for days
I waited and prepared with anticipation
Just to love you always
In hopes of loving you forever
But not forever
But it didn't last forever
You saw to that
You made sure it didn't last
You gotta poison in you in me
There is a toxin within us
That's how you poisoned all of my memories
It's what made you ruin my cherished memories
Of you and all you do and all you do
Of everything you did and still do
That's why I poisoned all of my daydreams
That's why I destroyed all my pleasant thoughts of you
About you and everything that you do and all you do
Regarding everything you do and the person you are
The last words I said to you were the only ones untrue
I wasn't truthful when we last spoke
The shit that i took from you is how I knew I was through
The poor treatment from you is what made me realize it was over
You saved up for days just to find other ways
You planned and prepared to manipulate me
To make me think of forever
To make me believe our love would last a lifetime
You thought you were the man
You believed you had complete control and power in the relationship
You like your own reflection
You are vain and self-absorbed
But can't make a connection
But unable to forge a real bond
Tried to bait my reaction
Tried to provoke me
Much to my objections
Against my objections
You gave me taste you so I would chase you
You teased me so I would pursue you
But If that were the case
If that's what was really happening
How could I end up in this place
Then why did I end up in this bad situation
Where you're not
Where you are not present in my life
I never missed you
I never longed for you
And I don't intend to start
And I have no intention of ever doing so
That's why I poisoned all of my daydreams
That's why I ruined all my hopeful dreams
About you and everything that you do
Regarding everything you do and the person you are
