Mud Flow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I chose the poison
Can't see the reason why wine
Into my vein
Goes to my brain
I took the poison
In your direction
I've lost all affection
Lost inspiration

I came into this world
By the backdoor of your love
And the world, this is me true
I came into this world
The world, this is me true
It left me no surprises
I took the poison

He flows, the poison
Rips our life, I have left
Something I feared
Slowly appeared
I took the poison
I found a reason :
I tried in vain
To forget the pain

I came into this world
By the backdoor of your love
And the world, this is me true
I came into this world
And the world, this is me true

He left me no surprises
I took the poison

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mud Flow's song "Song1" seem to be a reflection on a toxic, perhaps even poisonous, relationship. The first stanza begins with the singer choosing the "poison," which could be a metaphorical or literal substance, and not understanding the reason why it's so alluring. They take this "poison" in the direction of the person they've lost affection for and who's left them feeling uninspired. The second stanza shifts to an image of the singer being born by the backdoor of this person's love into a world that hasn't left them with any surprises. It seems that the singer has tried to resist the "poison" to forget the pain but found a reason in vain. The third stanza introduces the "he" who "flows" this "poison" and how it's ripping life away and revealing something the singer feared. The final line repeats the idea of taking the "poison" and being left with no surprises.
