Poison
Dear Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is distance from you
Your toxic stare
It was more than I could bear
Your lies are like poison
Now hope that someday I will find a way
To cure
You gave
Has turned to poison
AND IT'S BURNING A HOLE IN MY VEINS!
Slithering down
How was I supposed to know
You would tear my world apart
Your lies are like poison
Now hope that someday I will find a way
To cure
Myself
You gave
Has turned to poison
AND IT'S BURNING A HOLE IN MY VEINS!
A way.
To cure.
Myself.
Has turned to poison
Has turned to poison
AND IT'S BURNING A HOLE IN MY VEINS!
In "Poison," Dear Agony describes a toxic relationship that has caused immense emotional pain. The singer wants to distance themselves from their partner because of their "toxic stare" and "lies." The lies that were once thought to be love have turned into poison that is burning a hole in the singer's veins. The partner's deceit and betrayal have broken the singer's trust, leaving them feeling vulnerable and hurt. The lyrics express the singer's desperation to find a cure to the poison that their partner has given them.
The imagery in the song reveals the emotional and physical pain that the singer feels. The poison is described as slithering down and burning a hole in their veins, demonstrating the overwhelming and inescapable nature of the pain. The lyrics reveal a sense of powerlessness and hopelessness as the singer struggles to break free from the toxicity of the relationship. The repetition of the lines "To cure, myself," and "Has turned to poison" emphasizes the frustration and fear of being trapped in a situation that is hurting them.
