Poison
RITA ORA feat. Krept & Konan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My sanity for lunch
Trying to get over how bad I want you so much
Innocence for dinner
Pour something in my cup
Anything and everything just to fill me up
But nothing ever gets me high like this
Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge
I pick my poison and it's you
I pick my poison and it's you
I can feel you whisper
And laying on the floor
And I try to stop but I keep on coming back for more
I'm a lightweight, and I know it
'Cause after the first time
I was falling
Falling down
But nothing ever gets me high like this
I pick my poison and it's you
Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge
I pick my poison and it's you
I pick my poison and it's you
Bittersweet ecstasy that you got me in
Falling deep I can't sleep tonight
And you make me feel like I'm out of my mind
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Bittersweet ecstasy that you got me in
Falling deep I can't sleep tonight
And you make me feel like I'm out of my mind
Ohh, but it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Nothing ever gets me high like this
I pick my poison and it's you
Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge (I'm heading straight for the edge)
I pick my poison and it's you (Ohh it's you)
I pick my poison and it's you
And it's you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I pick my poison and it's you
In the song "Poison" by Rita Ora, she confesses her obsession with a certain someone in her life. She is so infatuated with this person that she would give up everything, even her own sanity, just to have them in her life. Nothing can compare to the high that they give her, and she refers to them as her "poison." The person has a hold on her that she cannot resist, no matter how hard she tries. Despite knowing that this person is bad for her and has caused her harm, Rita continues to return to them.
The lyrics convey the idea of addiction and how people can become fixated on certain things or people which can lead to their downfall. Through the use of metaphors such as "innocence for dinner" and "pour something in my cup," Rita describes her attempts to fill the void left by her addiction. She acknowledges that her addiction is not healthy but is a risk she is willing to take. The song has a bittersweet tone and reflects the emotional turmoil someone might feel in the throes of addiction.

Si
Krept, Kone
Rita, lo veo, veneno
Mira, puedo ponerte caliente ahora mismo
Said he can but he can′t like me
Quítate la parte de arriba ahora mismo, diles que otros chicos MUEREN
Rita y Kones, el Bey inglés y Hov, no té y scones
Puedo decirte por tu mirada que estás listo
We ain′t even got to the but I got you hooked already
No querrás saber dónde está tu cabeza
Y tengo una cosa para los labios rojos
Así que chica será mejor que te tomes tu tiempo
Cause this poison ain't nothin′ like a snake bite
Nada nunca me droga como esto
Nada nunca me droga como esto
I picked my poison and it′s you
Nada puede matarne como tú
You're goin′ straight to my head
And I'm headin′ straight for the edge
Cogí mi pocion y eres tú
I picked my poison and it′s you
Empieza con un, "donde estuviste anoche?" Si
Ella no cree hombre, ella nunca los escoge bien, si
You want a bad boy, well I′m the realest dude alive, yeah
I′m poisonous, you took one sip and I'm killing you inside, yeah
Tengo el por qué estar enojado conmigo, acuitas drásticamente
Casualmente, envenenado, tú lo haces casual
Entonces vuelves hacia mi, oh mi, tu también te apegas a mi
Envenenado todas tus venas, ahora estás diciendo que nos odias
Telling me that you′re leaving me, then the next day we make love
Eres adictiva
Nada nunca me droga como esto
Nada nunca me droga como esto
I picked my poison and it′s you
Nada puede matarne como tú
You're goin′ straight to my head
Voy de cabeza al borde
I picked my poison and it′s you
I picked my poison and it′s you
Dulce salado extasis que me diste
Cayendo profundo, puedo dormir esta noche
Dulce salado extasis que me diste
But it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright
Dulce salado extasis que me diste
Cayendo profundo, puedo dormir esta noche
And you make me feel like I′m out of my mind
But it's alright, it's alright, it′s alright
I picked my poison and it′s you
Nada puede matarne como tú
You're goin′ straight to my head
And I'm headin′ straight for the edge
Cogí mi pocion y eres tú
I picked my poison and it′s you
