Poison
Fortune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spreads quietly until
One finds solution to throw it out
I'm in a tight spot
This stranger in my vein
Will like the sergeant said
Take me down for a while
Mirror, I can't see myself
It will ignore me until
This century will not be mine
I'll be stuck without
Unlucky day again
Entire life of raw lights
Until the rhythm fades
That everything's alike
This poison in my vein
Spreads quietly until
One finds solution to throw it out
I'm in a tight spot
This stranger in my vein
Will like the sergeant said
Take me down for a while
Could you stay this night?
Mirror, I can't see myself
It will ignore me until
This century will not be mine
I'll be stuck without
Unlucky day again
Entire life of raw lights
Until the rhythm fades
That everything's alike
The lyrics in the song "Poison" by Fortune depict the internal struggle of an individual who is impacted by something they cannot control. The poison represents an addiction, pain or an emotional struggle that slowly spreads through the person's veins, affecting their entire being. The lyrics suggest that the solution to overcome this poison is not an easy one, as it requires finding a way to get rid of it completely. The singer insists that they are in a tight spot and need someone's help to get through this ordeal.
The lines “Mirror, I can't see myself, it will ignore me until, this century will not be mine, I'll be stuck without” indicate the loss of self-identity and hopelessness that comes with addiction or whatever may be plaguing the individual. The reference to a century also speaks to time being a constraint on the person's ability to reclaim their life. The final lines of the song convey a sense of being stuck in a perpetual cycle of bad luck and raw emotions.
Overall, the lyrics in "Poison" offer a powerful reflection of the pain and struggle that comes with addiction, emotional pain or any other battle of the self.
