Poison Spear
SEGA / Runblebee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heat of the venom that cuts your peace
Through the veins to the heart it feeds
It catches time and makes it freeze
Try look back turn around and see
The world is a place for the strong and keen
Try not to fathom what it all just means
Tail of spear wrapped in venom with a cause effect
One more shine and it start to reach
Tail of spear Wrapped in venom of eternal death
Before the after freezes
Not many if any can stand the heat
Heat of the venom that cuts your peace
Through the veins to the heart it feeds
It catches time and makes it freeze
Try look back turn around and see
The world is a place for the strong and keen
Try not to fathom what it all just means
A tale of a tail with a poison spear
The lyrics of SEGA / Runblebee's song Poison Spear describe the experience of facing the consequences of one's actions. The "heat of the venom" is used as a metaphor for the pain and suffering that someone may cause to others, and ultimately to themselves. The venom "cuts your peace" and "through the veins to the heart it feeds", symbolizing how negativity can spread and affect one's well-being. The line "it catches time and makes it freeze" describes how the consequences of one's actions can seem to last forever, and how one may feel stuck in a moment of regret.
The chorus encourages the listener to face the reality of the world, and to acknowledge that it is "a place for the strong and keen". This can be interpreted as a call to take responsibility for one's actions and to face the consequences head-on. The "tale of a tail with a poison spear" may refer to a cautionary tale of someone who was destroyed by their own actions, or a metaphorical weapon with deadly consequences.
