Poison
Ghosts on T.V. Lyrics

The lyrics of Ghosts on T.V.'s song "Poison" are about a woman who is toxic to the singer. She makes him feel good and bad at the same time, but he knows that she doesn't care about him. The singer is aware that the woman wants him dead but he is confident in his wealth and success depicted in owning a Maserati, that now she wants to be a part of his posh life. However, he realizes that such an action is not as it seems, because she is still negatively impacting him psychologically. In the end, the singer acknowledges that the woman was his poison, and he is better off without her.

The chorus of "Girl you were my poison, feeling good for me, feeling bad for me, you don't give a fuck about me girl" highlights how the woman's presence is a source of pleasure and pain, but ultimately her intentions are harmful. The theme of the song highlights the idea of the intoxicating nature of love, and the way in which it can both enrich and destroy an individual.
