Toxic"

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

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

Too high
Can't come down
Losing my head
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping 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

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping 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

Don't you know that you're toxic

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a 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 "Toxic" by Mushmellow is a song about passionate love and addiction that seems to be both dangerous and enticing at the same time. The singer is addressing a man whom she finds extremely attractive, but she is cautious and feels that he should 'wear a warning', just like hazardous materials do. She describes her attraction to him as being addictive and that she's falling for him uncontrollably, which hints at the theme of addiction running parallel to the theme of passion in the song.


The singer then compares her attraction to a drug-induced high, with the man being the source of the 'poison' that she's addicted to. She describes her feelings as being 'too high, can't come down,' which is indicative of the overwhelming rush of emotions that is drowning her. Despite the dangerous nature of her feelings, she still finds herself unable to resist the man's allure and becomes intoxicated by his 'lovin' now'.


Overall, the song "Toxic" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of toxic relationships and how they can be addictive and enthralling at the same time. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of falling in love with someone she knows is dangerous, yet she cannot help but be entranced by him.

Я как сейчас помню 2008 год и выход их альбома, который я несколько месяцев на репите гонял и думал, что это зарубежная группа. Какая же гордость была, когда я узнал, что эту прекрасную музыку записали земляки.
Для меня самая лучшая укр группа 100%, приятно переслушать даже сейчас.

Владимир Каширин

кавер жирный однозначно.
многие тоже так думали пока клип не увидели )))

Ромашка

Укр группа? Ладно

akiqoqiuq

Настолько украинская, что аж ведут группу в вк и дают концерты по Москве

Pumpkinhead

I've been playing metal guitar for over nearly 40 years, and this is by far the most badass cover I've ever heard of this song. Can't get enough of that gut grinding low end.

Владимир Каширин

я до сих пор этот кавер в свои плейлисты включаю ибо он великолепен.

То неловкое чувство, когда ты понимаешь, что группа-то не заморская по... плацкартному вагону лол.

Мелисса Вяземская

Ахахахахах дааааа
Узнала наше ЖД и пошла гуглить

Александр Процик

Группа украинская
