Poison
Sofia Mills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I get tired
Say I'm the one
Keep me alive
When your hair's gone
When I've lost my mind
Kiss me real slow
Wait for the tide
Silver sarcophagus
You kiss my wrist
We dance to Islands in the Stream
You say you miss
Just what my fist
Feels like upon your cheek and
I don't wanna lose this
Say it ain't so
Say it's just poison
Burning my throat
What are we doing?
What have we done?
Who are we fooling?
Say it's just poison
When it slows down
When the sky's grey
I hear you whisper
Calling my name
Kissing those other birds
I love the words
You say when you're intoxicated
Oh, it burns
And I return
To crying when I'm naked
I don't wanna lose this
Say it ain't so
Say it's just poison
Burning my throat
What are we doing?
What have we done?
Who are we fooling?
Say it's just poison
When I'm not broken
When I'm all better
When I'm not feeling
Under the weather
When we're okay and
Happy together
When you realize I
Loved you forever
I don't wanna lose this (broken, when I'm all better)
Say it ain't so (when I'm not feeling under the weather)
Say it's just poison (when we're okay and happy together)
Burning my throat (when you realize I loved you forever)
What are we doing? (When I'm not broken, when I'm all better)
What have we done? (When I'm not feeling under the weather)
Who are we fooling? (When we're okay and happy together)
Say it's just poison (when you realize I loved you forever)
Say it's just poison
Say it's just poison
Say it's just poison
The song "Poison" by Sofia Mills is about a tumultuous relationship that borders on toxicity. The lyrics seem to be a back-and-forth conversation between the two people involved in the relationship. They talk about how they want to be kept alive by each other and how they miss each other's touch, but at the same time, there is a certain element of danger or poison in their relationship.
The lyrics mention a silver sarcophagus, which could be a metaphor for the relationship being an ancient or dead thing. They also talk about dancing to "Islands in the Stream," a classic Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duet about two lovers who rely on each other like islands in the stream. This could be the couple's attempt to recapture the magic of their relationship or a nod to their shared love for classic country music.
The chorus, "Say it's just poison burning my throat," repeats throughout the song, almost as if the characters are trying to convince themselves that their relationship is not toxic. They ask each other what they are doing, what they have done, and who they are fooling, alluding to the fact that their relationship might be running on borrowed time. Ultimately, they end the song by repeatedly saying "Say it's just poison," showing that they are aware of the dangers of their love but cannot seem to let go.

When it's all done
After everything is over and all is said and done
When I get tired
When I become exhausted and weary
Say I'm the one
Affirm that I am the chosen one
Keep me alive
Continue to sustain my existence
When your hair's gone
When you have lost all your hair
When I've lost my mind
When I have become insane or irrational
Kiss me real slow
Plant your lips on mine slowly and gently
Wait for the tide
Hold off until the water level changes
Silver sarcophagus
A coffin made of precious metal
You kiss my wrist
You plant a kiss on my wrist
We dance to Islands in the Stream
We move our bodies to the beat of the Dolly Parton song 'Islands in the Stream'
You say you miss
You express that you long for me
Just what my fist
Exactly how powerful my punch is
Feels like upon your cheek and
What sensation it creates when it lands on your face
I don't wanna lose this
I do not want to let go of this situation or relationship
Say it ain't so
Express that it is not true
Say it's just poison

What actions are we performing and why?
What have we done?
What have we accomplished so far?
Who are we fooling?
Who is being deceived or misled?
When it slows down
When the pace diminishes
When the sky's grey
When the sky is covered in shades of gray
I hear you whisper
I can perceive you muttering softly
Calling my name
Saying my name aloud to grab my attention
Kissing those other birds
Kissing other people
I love the words
I am fond of the phrases you say
You say when you're intoxicated
You articulate when you're drunk
Oh, it burns
Oh, it hurts or pains me
And I return
I come back or revert to previous behaviors or emotions
To crying when I'm naked
To shedding tears while naked
When I'm not broken
When I am not damaged or hurt
When I'm all better
When I have recovered from previous injuries or illnesses
When I'm not feeling
When I am not experiencing
Under the weather
Physically or mentally unwell
When we're okay and
When our relationship is harmonious and
Happy together
When we are enjoying each other's company
When you realize I
When you comprehend that I
Loved you forever
Have loved you for an extended period of time and will continue to do so
Say it's just poison
Affirm that it is just a toxic substance and nothing more
Say it's just poison
Affirm that it is just a toxic substance and nothing more
Say it's just poison
Affirm that it is just a toxic substance and nothing more
