Poison on My Tongue
Masters of Destiny: Unveiling Life's Poisonous Truths
Lyrics
It's all about me. I own my destiny
Expressing self-centeredness and claiming control over one's fate.
Captain of my soul, master of all I see
Asserting authority and dominance over one's surroundings.
Why should I go to confession? never done nothing wrong
Questioning the need for confession, asserting innocence.
I just pay for my sins in cash, poof, my problems are gone
Indicating a materialistic approach to dealing with wrongdoing.
I never knew hunger, never had to live like you
Highlighting a lack of experience in facing hardships like hunger.
Never had to worry about what Jesus would do
Expressing a carefree attitude toward moral dilemmas.
I got methane in my lungs, iron in my heart
Describing physical and metaphorical elements in the speaker's being.
My mind is made of mud, petrol in my blood
Further detailing the speaker's constitution with industrial elements.
Poison on my tongue
Admitting to a harmful or deceitful way of speaking.
And how about you? What can you do for me?
Turning the focus on the listener, seeking benefits or favors.
What brings you to my table?
Inquiring about the listener's purpose or contribution.
Honey, are you able to get down on your knees?
Suggesting a potentially manipulative or exploitative request.
I never know hunger, never had to live like you.
Reiterating the speaker's lack of experience in hardships.
Never had to worry about what Jesus would do
Reaffirming a lack of concern for moral considerations.
I got methane in my lungs, iron in my heart
Repeating the description of the speaker's constitution.
My mind is made of mud, petrol in my blood
Continuing the industrial and metaphorical portrayal of the speaker.
Poison on my tongue
Repeating the admission to a harmful way of speaking.
Won't you slide over here?
Inviting someone closer, possibly for a self-serving purpose.
Honey, have no fear
Offering reassurance to the invited person.
Daddy's gonna do you right
Suggesting an intention to fulfill desires or expectations.
I got the coke and the money
Claiming possession of illicit substances and money.
Let me tell you honey
Emphasizing that the listener won't be leaving empty-handed.
You're not going home tonight
Imposing a situation where the listener stays with the speaker.
I never know hunger, never had to live like you
Reiterating the speaker's lack of experience in hardships.
Never had to worry about what Jesus would do
Reaffirming a lack of concern for moral considerations.
I got methane in my lungs, scales upon my eyes
Adding new elements to the speaker's physical and metaphorical state.
My mind has turned to mud, petrol in my blood
Indicating a further decline in the speaker's mental state.
Poison on my tongue
Repeating the admission to a harmful way of speaking.
