Toxic
Local H Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Oh,
The taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

Oh,
Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

(Oh, oh)

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of the poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now




With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Local H’s song Toxic suggest an irresistible attraction that is ultimately dangerous and harmful. The singer is drawn to someone who is toxic, yet can’t seem to break free from their grip. The opening line, “Baby, can’t you see I’m calling,” implies desperation and dependence on the person they are addressing. They describe this person as dangerous and addictive, with lines like, “A guy like you should wear a warning,” and “I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?” At the same time, the singer seems to revel in the danger, fueling their own addiction, and acknowledging that the situation is not sustainable. The lyrics convey a sense of being out of control, spiraling further and further into the toxicity.


The chorus “With a taste of your lips, I’m on a ride, you’re toxic, I'm slippin' under with the taste of a poison paradise” depicts a dizzying, euphoric feeling that comes with being in the thrall of something or someone so dangerous. The singer feels intoxicated by the person’s love, and although they know it’s harmful, they can’t help but be drawn back in. The bridge of the song, “Intoxicate me now with your lovin’ now, I think I’m ready now,” signifies the singer’s acceptance of the danger and their willingness to surrender to their addiction.


Overall, the lyrics of Toxic provide insight into the mindset of someone who is in a toxic relationship. They crave the dangerous attraction, even as they acknowledge the harm it’s causing them. The song portrays the addictiveness of a toxic relationship and the difficulty of escaping its grasp.

不是我翻的 搬運而已

中你的毒《TOXIC

Baby, can't you see, I'm callin' 親愛的難道你不知道我殷殷的呼喚

A guy like you should wear a warnin' 你這樣的俊俏總叫我沒有安全感

You're dangerous, I'm fallin' 你真的太危險我要墜入愛河了

There's no escape, I can't wait 我無路可退我不想空等

I need a hit, baby give me it 我需要你讓我擁有你

You're dangerous, I'm movin' it 你是個危險情人讓我深深癡迷

Too high, can't come down 內心彭拜無法平靜

Losing my head, spimming round and 無法思考情緒起伏不定

Do you feel me now 你難道沒有感應

CHORUS 複歌

Oh, the taste of your lips, I'm on a ride 你唇間的味道讓我的心漂浮懸空

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under 你的舌尖是有毒的蜜糖

Oh' the taste of your poison paradise 喔我嘗到天堂之毒

I'm addicted to you 讓我不能自拔

Don't you know that you're toxic 難道你不知道

And I love what you do 你是致命的毒

Don't you know that you're toxic 但我卻深深為你著迷

It's getting late to give you up 漸漸地你的毒入侵我的身體

I took a sip from the devil's cup Slowly it's taking over me, Too high, can't come down 內心彭拜無法平靜

It's inthe air and it's all around 無法思考情緒起伏不定

Can you feel it now 你難道沒有感應

With your lovin' now 因為有了你的愛

I think I'm ready now... 我想我已經準備好了

I had no idea this was a cover of Britney spears for the longest time until some chick told me.. i don't listen to Britney spears or any pop music for that matter, but local h is fuckin awesome. I have lots of respect for these guys. It amazes me that only 2 guys can make all of the awesome music they put out. If you don't know much music from these guys I suggest anyone to listen to the 'As good as dead' album. Their best album imo.

@night08755

I mean, it's not really Britney's song, she's just an interpret. I think the credit goes to Cathy Dennis.

@BDoleSH
