Poison
Wrust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will take you to a place
Where the witches roam the streets
Controlling you emotions
Dictating thoughts in your mind
Dictating your love or hate
Come to me you too
I will shade some light like a torrent
Life don’t mean shit and you know it
An illusion
Poison into my mind
Poison running thought my veins
Poison of the serpent
Black mass witching hour
Calling spirits by name
Time to meet the unknown
Relinquish all of this world
Enter the realm of the source
A spell for love or hate
Poison into my mind
Poison running thought my veins
Poison of the serpent
Knowledge from the source
Technology of the fallen
So real yet so unknown
So true but denied
The song "Poison" by Wrust is a dark and intense commentary on the power of witches and the dangers of ignorance. The first verse invites the listener to come to the singer's "son," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for a place of enlightenment or spiritual awakening. Here, the witches roam freely, controlling people's emotions and thoughts, dictating their love or hate. This can be seen as a warning against allowing ourselves to be influenced by forces beyond our control, and a call to take responsibility for our own feelings and beliefs.
The second verse speaks directly to the listener, offering to "deliver you from ignorance" and provide illumination like a "torrent" of light. The singer asserts that life is ultimately meaningless, and implies that many people are deluded by illusion. The repeated refrain of "Poison into my mind / Poison running through my veins / Poison of the serpent" suggest that these illusions are like a poison infecting us from within.
The song then takes a darker turn in the bridge, invoking the imagery of a black mass and witching hour. The singer calls on listeners to "relinquish all of this world" and enter the realm of the source, possibly referring to a spiritual or mystical experience. Here, spells can be cast for love or hate, implying that these forces are equally potent and unpredictable.
Overall, "Poison" is a provocative and unsettling song that offers a warning against blindly following external influences and urges listeners to seek enlightenment and cast off the illusions that cloud our minds.
