Poison Petals
Poison Petals: Love's Dance with Darkness
Lyrics
There ain't a lack of the chemistry
Expressing a strong connection or compatibility.
I'm really fucking with all of your energy
Showcasing appreciation for the partner's vibe.
Highly pursued but I don't let it get to me
Acknowledging high desirability but maintaining composure.
They said the start of us might be the end of me
Anticipating potential challenges in the relationship.
I don't read minds but I see signs
Unable to read thoughts but attentive to non-verbal cues.
Johnny and June and we walking the line
Reference to Johnny Cash and June Carter, symbolizing unity.
Remember you best with a streak of some blonde for the spring
Nostalgia for a past moment, possibly a relationship.
I gotta hella respect for you doing your thing
Respect for the partner's independence and success.
Couple of drinks we drunk off the drama you mad
Conflict arising from alcohol-induced emotions.
Passive aggressive a hook and a jab
Describing a conflict with subtle hostility.
I gotta fix it whenever your sad
Commitment to resolving the partner's sadness.
Baby I'm doing the best that I can
Expressing effort and dedication to the relationship.
You know I gotta make good on the vision
Commitment to fulfilling a shared vision.
I can explain if you're willing to listen
Willingness to explain and communicate.
Girl I've been with it since whipping the civic
Long-standing commitment since humble beginnings.
So sit down a second and give me a minute
Request for attention and understanding.
Baby if you love me let me know let me know let me know
Seeking assurance and openness in love.
Baby if you love me let it show let it show let it show
-From the tippy top to the bottom of your soul
Desire for peace, love, and happiness in the relationship.
Peace and love and happiness are all that we should know
-This the conversation that I always leave alone
Avoiding a particular sensitive topic or discussion.
Poison dripping from the petals of a rose
Symbolic reference to toxicity in the relationship.
You say love me whenever you miss it
Expression of love during moments of absence.
We fight and make up like it's family tradition
Recurrence of conflicts as a familiar pattern.
You get what you give I thought that was a given
Expectation of reciprocity in giving and receiving.
The taste in my mouth like a spoonful of cinnamon
Unpleasant aftertaste from past experiences.
Gave you the benefit of the doubt from the start
Initially trusting despite uncertainties.
Light up your world when you stuck in the dark
Providing support during difficult times.
Love it is evil now I need a needle and stitches to patch up the hole in your heart
Acknowledgment of love's potential for pain.
Couple of hits we get high off love and it's pure
Experiencing highs from love's intoxicating effects.
Examine your body and all of its curves
Appreciating the partner's physical form.
Wrapping you up like I'm laying a verse
Immersive involvement in the partner's life.
I'm in your city on enemy turf
Navigating challenges in a location associated with hostility.
You say you love me you want me to stay
Request for reassurance and commitment.
Taking your shots and you fire away
Dealing with verbal attacks and criticisms.
Guess it depends on the time of the day
Emphasizing the variable nature of the relationship.
Tell me whatever you're tryna say
Encouraging open communication.
Baby if you love me let me know let me know let me know
Repetition of the desire for love to be expressed and shown.
Baby if you love me let it show let it show let it show
-From the tippy top to the bottom of your soul
Reiteration of the ideal elements in a relationship.
Peace and love and happiness are all that we should know
-This the conversation that I always leave alone
Avoidance of a particular challenging discussion.
Poison dripping from the petals of a rose
Symbolic reference to the harmful aspect of the relationship.
