Toxic
Naim Yael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
With a 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?
With a 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?
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
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
(Now)
(Now)
(With a taste of your lips)
(I'm on a ride)
The lyrics of Naim Yael's song Toxic describe the addictive and dangerous nature of a toxic relationship. The singer is in love with someone who is like a drug to them and they can't resist their toxic charm. The opening lines, "Baby, can't you see? I'm calling / A guy like you should wear a warning / It's dangerous, I'm falling", suggest that the singer is so drawn to this person that they are willing to overlook the warning signs and the potential danger that lies ahead.
The repeated phrase "Too high can't come down" and "Don't you know that you're toxic?" signifies that the singer is losing control and is completely entranced by their lover. The line "With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride" reinforces the idea that it's a temporary high but one that the singer is happy to indulge in. The bridge of the song reflects the idea that the singer knows the relationship is unhealthy and that they should leave, but they can't resist the addiction - "It's getting late to give you up / I took a sip from my devil's cup / Slowly, it's taking over me".
Overall, the song's lyrics are both empowering and cautionary, highlighting the allure but also the danger of toxic relationships. The singer's repeated phrases of "I'm addicted to you" and "I love what you do" capture the desperation of someone who is caught up in a toxic relationship and can't help but succumb to their lover's charisma.
