Poison
Woodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neat pirouettes
Eyes locked on the constant
Til I forget
Hold it
Deep breath
In and out until there's nothing left
Did I just drink poison?
Is this a trick?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Oh, is this it?
Did I just drink poison?
Is this a trick?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Oh, is this it?
Slowing down,
I placed my bets,
Thought I lost it,
Well, I forget.
Hold it
Deep breath
In and out til there's nothing left
Did I just drink poison?
Is this a trick?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Oh, is this it?
Did I just drink poison?
Is this a trick?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Oh, is this it?
Out of sight,
Look what I made,
I thought about it,
Put it away.
Locked in,
Deep breath,
No excuses,
Got nothing left
Did I just drink poison?
Is this a trick?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Oh, Is this it?
Did I just drink poison?
No more tricks.
My hand's on the trigger.
This is it!
In "Poison," Woodes reflects on the feelings of being trapped in a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe the feeling of being spun around and losing oneself, losing a sense of direction while being constantly fixated on the partner. The recurring question "did I just drink poison?" evokes the idea of a poisonous and harmful influence. Along with the question are the doubts about the relationship's validity and whether there is a "trick" involved that would hurt the singer.
The middle verse breaks away from this doubt and talks about the decision to disconnect oneself from the toxic relationship, symbolized by "placing bets" and "putting it away." By the end of the song, Woodes has come to a decision to break free from the relationship, symbolized by the line, "My hand's on the trigger. This is it!" The song captures the confusion, anxiety and doubts that come with being in a toxic relationship, and how the singer reconciles with it.
Line by Line Meaning
Spinnin' round
Turning around in circles
Neat pirouettes
Performing precise and graceful dance moves
Eyes locked on the constant
Focused entirely on one thing
Til I forget
Until I become unaware of everything else
Hold it
Pause for a moment
Deep breath
Inhale and exhale slowly
In and out until there's nothing left
Breathing until I am completely calm
Did I just drink poison?
Am I in a harmful situation?
Is this a trick?
Is this a deception?
Is your hand on the trigger?
Are you in control of the situation?
Oh, Is this it?
Is this the end?
Slowing down,
Becoming less frantic
I placed my bets,
I took a risk
Thought I lost it,
I believed I failed
Well, I forget.
I eventually forgot about it
Out of sight,
Hidden from view
Look what I made,
I created something
I thought about it,
I considered the consequences
Put it away.
I stored it somewhere safe
Locked in,
Committed to a decision
No excuses,
No justification
Got nothing left
I am out of options
Did I just drink poison?
Am I in a harmful situation?
No more tricks.
No more deception
My hand's on the trigger.
I am in control now
This is it!
This is the final decision

You need to add the purify sy card in case of wild hunt ( bcz of tons of veil cards )
Jon
Last season this is also a strong deck but it won't be tier 1 because with this deck I die die have to win round 1 and sometimes you can't. When u don't, opp (those who are good players) will bleed you till you commit your combo and then luck will decide round 3.

Man. It seems you have some fun playing this deck ahahahaha Glad to see that man
Jon
The first game, if his magic compass went to get a Gremlist to purify instead of Arnag. Would it make a difference ?
saiyanman
A Kambi should have been the opponent's play
lol
this is legit 150 points swing. If you allow this deck to go for long R3, you might forfeit.

How in second game you use salamader with 5 coins ?
JVMoony
This deck is ridiculous 🦎
Noeton
Could someone please explain at 29:10 why the coins stayed at 7? Shouldn't it be 4? 4 at start + 3 profit - 3 tribute right? Why did it go up to 7?
Also at 35:44, why did he gain 9 coins while Swindle should give him 6 at best? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance, guys.
