Holding Poison
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Inner Turmoil in Foo Fighters' Holding Poison
Lyrics
I got this thing and I've been taking it out on you
I have a problem or issue, and I've been expressing it by affecting you.
Taking it out on you, oh you
Continuing to express the problem or issue towards you.
Like a machine that's always breaking down on you
Comparing the issue to a machine that constantly malfunctions and causes problems for you.
Breaking down on you, so true
Reiterating the idea that the issue is consistently causing problems for you.
I spin around, around, around
Expressing a sense of confusion or disorientation, possibly related to the issue mentioned.
Spin around, around around
-Spin around, around
-Out of the blue
-Holding the poison down
Describing the act of suppressing or controlling a harmful influence, symbolized as "poison," to avoid its negative effects.
Holding the poison down
-Something to drown you out
-I'm holding the poison down
-You know I want what I want, I get what I get
Asserting a determined mindset, acknowledging personal desires and decisions despite potential consequences.
I know what I need, I know what I said
-Holding the poison down
-Holding the poison down
-I get the feeling there ain't nothing that I can do
Feeling helpless and overwhelmed by the issue, possibly resorting to escapism through dreams but still facing the harsh reality.
Nothing will get me through, so blue
-Sometimes I dream, I can dream, I can dream
-And then I bleed, and I bleed, and I bleed
-I get the feeling that there's nothing that I can do
-I spin around, around, around
Repeating the sense of confusion or disorientation, emphasizing the unpredictability of the situation.
Spin around, around, around
-Spin around, around
-Out of the blue
-Holding the poison down
Reiterating the theme of controlling and suppressing the harmful influence or "poison."
Holding the poison down
-Something to drown you out
-I'm holding the poison down
-You know I want what I want, I get what I get
-I know what I need, I know what I said
-Holding the poison down
-Holding the poison down
-Stand around, around, around
Introducing the idea of standing around, possibly suggesting a passive approach or feeling stuck.
Stand around, around, around
-Stand around, around
-Out of the blue
-Holding the poison down
Final repetition of the theme, emphasizing the persistence of holding down the "poison" despite challenges and desires.
Holding the poison down
-Something to drown you out
-I'm holding the poison down
-You know I want what I want, I get what I get
-I know what I need, I know what I said
-Holding the poison down
-Holding the poison down
