Overall Meaning

The opening dialogue of the song sets the scene in the studio where Liam Howlett is trying to write a new tune, but is interrupted by the phone call. This shows the frustration of the artist when trying to come up with new material. The rest of the lyrics are repetitive with the phrase “I got the poison. I got the remedy. I got the pulsating, rhythmical remedy,” repeated multiple times throughout the song. The lyrics seem to reference the power and potency of music and its ability to be both a poison and a remedy. The repetitive use of the phrase highlights how music can take over a person’s senses and the impact it can have on the body and mind.
