Poison
Scarypoolparty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know
That I′ve been needing you
To cause this pain
Out loud within the truth
So tell me, tell me, tell me, lover
If I'm the one you need
Your love is still poisoning me
Oh yes, your love is so
Your love is still poisoning me
So I′ll take apart the pieces that we left
Between the sheets that we shared
Oh yes, your love is so
Your love is still poisoning me
Still poisoning, poisoning me
And faith to faith
You know
That I've been needing you
To cause this pain
Out loud within the truth, yeah
So tell me, tell me, tell me, lover
If I'm the one you need
Huh
Oooo, yes, your love is so
Your love is still poisoning me
Oh yes, your love is so
Your love is still poisoning me
So I′ll take apart the pieces that we left
Between the sheets that we shared, mm-mm-mmmmmmm
Oh yes, your love is so
Your love is still poisoning me
Still poisoning, poisoning me
In "Poison" by Scarypoolparty, the singer addresses their lover directly, asking them if they are the one who is poisoning them with love. The use of the word "poison" is interesting, as it suggests that their love is toxic or harmful in some way. The singer also mentions that they have been needing their lover to cause pain, which implies that their relationship may be dysfunctional and that they are not entirely happy. Despite this, the singer is still drawn to their lover and is struggling to break free from their hold.
The repetition of the line "Oh yes, your love is so / Your love is still poisoning me" emphasizes the idea that the singer is trapped in this toxic relationship and cannot escape its effects. The line "So I'll take apart the pieces that we left / Between the sheets that we shared" suggests that the singer is trying to move on from the relationship by dissecting and analyzing what went wrong. However, it also emphasizes the physical nature of their connection and the difficulty of separating from someone with whom they have shared such intimate moments.
Overall, "Poison" is a poignant and introspective portrayal of a troubled relationship. The use of the word "poison" is an interesting metaphor for the destructive effects of love, and the repetition of certain phrases adds to the emotional weight of the song.
