Poison
Glaive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like the voices that stay inside my brain (inside my brain)
You're more annoying, as I get more insane (way more insane)
You're like a poison that I just can't escape
I waste time with you
But if it's fine with me, it should be fine with you
And if you ride for me, then I will ride for you
I, I don't even try no more
Liar, I don't even laugh no more
Crier, I don't even cry no more
I saw you, I do what I said before
You're like poison flowing through my veins (straight through my veins)
You're like the voices that stay inside my brain (inside my brain)
You're more annoying, as I get more insane (way more insane)
You're like a poison that I just can't escape
Poison, it's affecting me and my
Choices, I can't sleep with their
Noises, I can't breathe with their
Poison, poison
You never wanted me when I wanted you
Like the Capulets, and the Montagues
You never wanted me when I wanted you
Seven lovely words that I said to you
You're like poison flowing through my veins (straight through my veins)
You're like the voices that stay inside my brain (inside my brain)
You're more annoying, as I get more insane (way more insane)
You're like a poison that I just can't escape
In Glaive's song "poison," the singer compares his toxic relationship to poison that is flowing through his veins. He acknowledges that his partner's voices are staying inside his brain and driving him insane. Despite the toxicity of the relationship, he cannot escape the poison, as he finds himself wasting time with his partner. The singer also mentions that he no longer tries, laughs, or cries, indicating that this relationship has caused him to become emotionally drained.
The chorus repeats that his partner is like poison, more annoying as he gets more insane, and just can't escape the hold they have over him. The bridge highlights that the poison is affecting him and his choices, making it difficult for him to sleep and breathe. He also touches upon the fact that his partner did not want him when he wanted them, using the example of Capulets and Montagues from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Overall, the song poignantly embodies the perils of a toxic relationship that is hard to break away from but ultimately weighs heavily on one's emotional and mental state.
