Poison
Stan Van Samang Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try as I might
you do as you will
Pullback the blinds
Turn on the light
Move in for the kill
You find it in me
Fallen from grace
Affliction I don’t want to see

In front of my face
But I take you now
To break me down

Poison
Your poison
It’s perfect for me
So pour on your poison
It makes me feel free
It makes me feel

I’m burning inside
Where I’ve been numb
My old addictions tell me
I should turn and run
But I take you now
To break me down

Poison
You’re poison
To pain that’s in me
The cure of your poison
It makes me feel free

It makes me feel
It makes me heal
It makes me feel
I could even be alive

Poison
Your poison
It’s perfect to me
The cure of your poison
It makes me feel free

Your poison
It’s all that I need
So pour on your poison
It makes me believe
It makes me feel
It makes me heal

It makes me feel
It makes me heal

The lyrics of Stan Van Samang's song Poison describe a complex relationship with addiction. The singer of the song is struggling with the pull of their addiction, represented by the lines "My old addictions tell me I should turn and run."

They know that being with this person will only bring them down further, as seen in the line "But I take you now to break me down." There is a sense of desperation in the lyrics as the singer tries to make sense of their conflicting emotions. They know that their addiction is hurting them, but at the same time, they can't help but be drawn to it.

The chorus of the song - "Your poison, it's perfect for me \ So pour on your poison, it makes me feel free" - highlights the idea that addiction can be appealing for some people, despite the inevitable consequences. The singer admits that their partner's poison makes them feel alive and helps them heal from their pain. This paradoxical relationship is further emphasized by the line "To pain that's in me, the cure of your poison, it makes me feel free." Ultimately, the lyrics of Poison serve as a stark reminder of the destructive nature of addiction and how it can consume a person's life.
