The Poison
Embracing Shadows: A Soul Battling Poisonous Echoes
Lyrics
It's not just a pain
Expressing that the pain is not ordinary or simple.
A pain in my back
Referring to a physical pain in the back.
That lasts on my face
Describing a lasting impact on the face.
My face every night on the poison that took my lungs
Mentioning a poison affecting the lungs every night.
Keeps me from feeling warm
Emphasizing the numbing effect, preventing warmth.
But I could've rooftoped you in London
Contemplating a missed opportunity in London.
You're just the same as one in Brooklyn
Comparing someone in London to one in Brooklyn.
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
Highlighting the lack of safety in the present moment.
And I can't see so good
Expressing difficulty in perceiving clearly.
And there's gotta be more
Yearning for more in life than the current state.
Much more than this
Expressing a belief in a greater purpose or meaning.
I got pages of dreams covered in piss
Conveying frustration with unfulfilled dreams.
And a poison that took my soul
Referring to a poison affecting the soul, numbing emotions.
It keeps me from feeling anything
Reiterating the emotional numbness caused by the poison.
And I could've rooftoped you in London
Recalling a potential missed opportunity in London.
You're just the same as one in Brooklyn
Comparing someone in London to one in Brooklyn, suggesting similarities.
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
Stressing the lack of safety in the current situation.
And I can't see so good
Expressing ongoing difficulty in perceiving clearly.
And now I fight with the words
Reiterating the struggle, emphasizing it's with words.
And now I fight with the words
Further emphasizing the ongoing struggle with words.
And now I fight with the words
Continuing to highlight the persistent battle with words.
But I could've rooftoped you in London
Reflecting on a potential missed opportunity in London.
You're just the same as one in Brooklyn
Comparing someone in London to one in Brooklyn, reiterating similarities.
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
Reiterating the lack of safety in the current situation.
And I can't see so good
Expressing ongoing difficulty in perceiving clearly.
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good)
Repeating the challenge of seeing clearly.
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good)
-And I can't see so good
