Poison
J.B. Walton D. Lorenz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison

One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison (poison)

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah, well I don't want to break these chains
Poison (poison)
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my brain (poison)
Poisoning (poison)
I don't want to break these chains (poison)




Poison
(Poison) I don't want to break these chains (poison)

Overall Meaning

The song "Poison" by J.B. Walton D. Lorenz is a classic example of an 80s power ballad about a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe a love for someone who is dangerous and poisonous. The opening lines "Your cruel device, Your blood, like ice" refer to the person's personality - cruel and cold. The phrase "One look, could kill, My pain, your thrill" describes the power dynamic of the relationship, where one person holds all the power and takes pleasure in causing pain to the other.


The chorus of the song repeats the conflicting desires of the singer - to love and hold the person, but also to stay away from them because they are toxic. The line "I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison" is a metaphor for the person's beauty and allure, but also their toxicity. The singer is aware of the danger they pose but is still drawn to them.


The lines "Your mouth, so hot, Your web, I'm caught" refer to the person's seductive nature, and how the singer is trapped in their web of desire. The phrase "Black lace, on sweat" is a sensual image that adds to the song's overall seductive vibe. The bridge of the song, "I hear you calling and it's needles and pins, I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name" reveals the darker side of the singer's desires. They are not only attracted to the danger the person poses, but also to the power they have over them.


Overall, "Poison" is a classic 80s power ballad about the danger of toxic relationships. The lyrics paint a picture of a seductive and dangerous person who is both alluring and deadly.
