Poison
Roses & Revolutions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has me writing a sad song
Are you insane, son?
It's just like the night of The Fall
Where is the drug that you have me hooked on?
And although I got men galore
You're in my pores, and Mon amour
Is there a cure? I'm not so sure
On my knees, here's my confession
Can't get rid of this infection
Running through my veins
Like you are poison
Poisonous snake
Sculpture carved in pure perfection
I cling to this fascination
Running through my veins
Baby, you're poison
Poison to me
When I sing I look at you
Tell me, how does it feel, now
To see I'm a star? (And I shine bright, shine bright)
Darling, snap out of the blue (Don't make me sad)
I'm in the Olympus
And I want you out
And although I got men galore
You're in my pores, and Mon amour
Is there a cure? I'm not so sure
Cause I adore you
On my knees, here's my confession
Can't get rid of this infection
Running through my veins
Like you are poison
Poisonous snake
Sculpture carved in pure perfection
I cling to this fascination
Running through my veins
Baby, you're poison
Poison to me
Come with me on the darkest night
I'mma help you stay awake (Don't close your eyes)
Don't know what took you that much time
Need the antidote today (Shoot it up!)
Diamond tears, you're like ice to me
Even if I'd give you fame (Do you know my name?)
I want you here right by my side
So I'll fix my past mistakes
On my knees, here's my confession
Can't get rid of this infection
Running through my veins
Like you are poison
Poisonous snake
Sculpture carved in pure perfection
I cling to this fascination
Running through my veins
Baby, you're poison
Poison to me
On my knees, here's my confession
Can't get rid of this infection
Running through my veins
Like you are poison
Poisonous snake
Sculpture carved in pure perfection
I cling to this fascination
Running through my veins
Baby, you're poison
Poison to me
The song "Poison" by Roses & Revolutions is a beautifully written piece about the power of attraction and addiction. The singer sings about being completely entranced by an individual who has a hold on them - a hold that feels almost toxic, like poison running through their veins. Despite the intensity of their feelings, the singer grapples with their own vulnerability and dependence, questioning whether there is a cure or a way out of this situation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is torn between their desire to be close to this person and their fear of being consumed by their presence.
One of the most interesting aspects of the song is the metaphorical language used by the songwriter. The "poisonous snake" is a particularly effective symbol for the person who the singer is describing - it suggests that while they are appealing and tempting, they are also potentially dangerous and harmful. The repetition of the phrase "running through my veins" is also effective in conveying the all-encompassing nature of the obsession that the singer feels.
Another notable feature of the song is the use of French phrases and references to mythology. The repeated use of the phrase "Mon amour" gives the song a romantic and exotic flavour, while the mention of "Olympus" suggests that the object of the singer's affection is something to be idolised or worshipped - a god-like figure. These references add depth and nuance to the song, and suggest that the narrative extends beyond a simple love story.
Overall, "Poison" is a captivating and powerful song that explores the complexities of intense attraction and addiction. The lyrics are emotive and evocative, and the use of metaphorical language and cultural references adds depth and richness to the narrative.
