Poison
David Sanya & EhCee Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Poison" by David Sanya & EhCee depict the pain of a person who is unable to move on from his past relationship. The lyrics convey the singer's insecurity about his ex-partner talking to other guys and not knowing whether she's with someone else at the moment. The singer's desperation to sleep and not think about his ex-partner indicates that the break-up has taken an emotional toll on the singer. He can't stop waiting for a sign or a word from his ex-partner, and nothing can suppress his impatience. The chorus of the song has an interesting twist where the singer realizes that he needs his poison to help him cope, even if it's self-destructive. He is willing to take any substance that can help numb his pain and help him fly away from his reality.

The second verse emphasizes his need to avoid the pain of break-up by staying inebriated, and he wishes he had done things differently, but it's too late now. The singer's ex-partner is still in his thoughts, and even an ordinary thought of hers makes him hopeful that they might still be connected. Regardless, the singer needs closure and wants his ex-partner to tell him something to help him move on. However, at the same time, he acknowledges that picking his poison and running away is the only way of getting over the break-up.
