Poor Mans Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My favorite fishing pole, 62 cal
Now she's gone, oh, she's gone away
Can't feel the beat of a heart in my chest (heart in my chest)
Spent all my money and charged the rest
Now she's gone, oh, I'm left to pay
My body wants back to its soul
I never new I'd find the devil in you
Took it all and now you're comin' back for more
You took it all and now you're comin' back for more
Went to the neighbor's to share my news
Turns out he's sorry but he shared her too
And now she's gone
He said I drove her away
Heard that its been plotted,
Her plots been found (Plot has been found)
6 feet ain't deep enough, she'd be 20 down
But she'll be gone, oh, gone away
Can't we meet in the middle (middle)
My body walks back to its soul
I never knew I'd find the devil in you
You took it all and now you're comin' back for more
You took it all and now you're comin' back for more
Can't we meet in the middle (middle)
My back walks back to its soul
I never knew I'd find the devil in you
You took it all and now you're comin' back for more
You took it all and now you're comin' back for more
The lyrics of Poor Mans Poison’s song “20 Down” tells the story of a man who wakes up to find that his girlfriend has left him with nothing, not even his favorite fishing pole or 62 caliber gun. He spent all his money, charged the rest, and is left with nothing but a broken heart. He cannot believe that the one he loved turned into the devil and took everything he had. He realizes that she has gone too far and that he cannot trust her anymore. He seeks refuge in his neighbor and shares the news with him, only to find out that his neighbor has also been involved with his girlfriend, making him think that he drove her away.
The chorus of the song speaks of the man's desire to meet his ex-girlfriend in the middle, that his body and soul want to come back together, but he cannot trust her anymore. He had never thought that he would find the devil in her, but she took it all and is now coming back for more. The second verse suggests that there had been a plot against her, but she had found out in time, and now she is gone. The man's back wants to walk back to its soul, but he cannot take the risk of giving her another chance.
Overall, the song is a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The man lost everything to the woman he loved, and now he cannot trust her anymore. The song speaks about the devil that exists in some people, and how selfishness and greed can destroy even the most intense love.
