Poison
Lost Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you′ll spit out the truth
Breathe in the breeze and believe that you think what they tellin' you to
We′re tryna get higher
For some nights I'm low
I don't fuel to the fire
We just need to let go
With your best friends
And tell the world that that is all
Pick your poison
Convince yourselves that
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
Swallow the feel good
Then find that you′re numb
You say this just once then you spend all your money so you can fill up
We′re tryna get higher
For some nights I'm low
I don′t fuel to the fire
We just need to let go
With your best friends
And tell the world that that is all
Pick your poison
Convince yourselves that
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
Can you live without it?
Can you keep the balance?
Or will it weigh on you?
Trust your life without it
Just to find the balance
So they can see it's true
With your best friends
And tell the world that that is all
Pick your poison
Convince yourselves that
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
You can live without it
The lyrics to "Poison" by Lost Boy speaks about the struggle of addiction and finding the balance between indulgence and self-control. The first line, "Drink up the evil, and you'll spit out the truth," suggests that sometimes the things we indulge in can lead us to a realization of the truth. However, the following line, "Breathe in the breeze and believe that you think what they're telling you to" shows the contradictory nature of indulgence and how it can cloud our judgment.
The chorus speaks about convincing ourselves that we can live without our vices, but also acknowledging that it is not easy. The line, "Swallow the feel-good, then find that you're numb," indicates that the temporary pleasure received from indulging can lead to a sense of emptiness. The repeated line, "You can live without it," shows the struggle to convince oneself that the addiction is not necessary.
The bridge asks if we can keep the balance and not let the addiction weigh on us, suggesting that moderation is key. In conclusion, "Poison" by Lost Boy delivers a message of self-reflection and self-control within the context of addiction.
