Toxic
FKi ft Yael Naim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, can't you see?
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait

I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now

(Now)
(Now)

(With a taste of your lips)
(I'm on a ride)

Overall Meaning

The song "Toxic" by FKi ft. Yael Naim is about a toxic and dangerous relationship that the singer cannot help but be addicted to. She tells her lover, who should have noticed the warning signs in the first place, that she cannot escape from this love, no matter how dangerous it may be. She needs her lover to give her a hit, which is likely referencing the idea of being under the influence of a toxic lover.

The chorus of "Toxic" is very memorable, with the singer stating that she is addicted to her lover, who is toxic to her. She knows that what they are doing is dangerous, and she loves it. She is in a poison paradise that she cannot escape from, and she is slipping under the influence of her lover. The verses are quieter, with the singer revealing her feelings for her lover in a hushed tone. The lines "too high, can't come down, losing my head, spinning 'round and 'round," are particularly striking and impactful in the song, showing the listener just how deep in the relationship the singer is.

Overall, the song is a commentary on the power of toxic relationships and how easy it is to get addicted to them without realizing the consequences. It's a warning to anyone who may be entering such a relationship, or for those who may be in one already.
