Toxic
Variados/A Static Lullaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of your poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic?
It's gettin' late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my Devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
So high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of your poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic?
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of your poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of your poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic?
A Static Lullaby's song "Toxic" is a modern take on Britney Spears' classic hit with the same name. The song is about the danger of falling in love with someone who is bad for you, but being unable to resist their allure. The lyrics use imagery of addiction to describe the way this person makes the singer feel, like they're high and losing control.
The chorus specifically references the taste of this person's lips and their poison paradise, which further emphasises the theme of addiction. The bridge adds another layer to the song, as the singer says it's "too late to give you up" and that this person has already taken over them. The overall tone of the song is both seductive and cautionary, warning against getting too caught up in someone who is toxic.
Overall, A Static Lullaby's "Toxic" is a powerful and modern interpretation of Britney Spears' original hit. It's a warning against falling for the wrong person, and how that person can be addictive like a poison that you can't resist.
