Pretty Poison
Pretty Poison: A Toxic Tale of Love and Deceit
Lyrics
I wanna start a tiny fire
The desire to ignite a small fire, possibly symbolic of sparking something small yet impactful.
I've got a mission and I intend to act
Expressing determination to carry out a particular goal or objective.
- they're gonna think that I'm a liar
An expectation of being perceived as dishonest or untruthful by others.
Needed a partner and I found her fast
Finding a partner quickly to assist in a task or mission.
I used to work down at the makeup factory
Previous employment at a cosmetics factory, juxtaposed with environmental concerns.
They're dumping waste into the riverbed
Highlighting environmental negligence by the mentioned factory.
I'm the only one who knows how to stop them
Claiming the sole knowledge to halt the negative environmental impact.
I'm not making this up I swear
Emphasizing the truthfulness of the previous statement.
Pretty poison so young oh so pure
Describing someone as alluring yet potentially harmful.
Pretty poison I'd do anything for her
An expression of willingness to do anything for the person described as "pretty poison."
Pretty poison always does the trick
Suggesting the effectiveness of the allure and possibly manipulative nature of "pretty poison."
How would I know that she'd get me so sick
Unexpectedly experiencing detrimental effects from being involved with "pretty poison."
I think I'm in over my head
A realization of being deeply involved in a dangerous situation.
She wants to kill her mom and pin the blame
Describing the dangerous intentions of "pretty poison," possibly to shift blame onto the speaker.
On me now I'm afraid I'll end up dead
A fear of potential consequences, including death, due to association with "pretty poison."
So lock me up and throw away the key
Acceptance of being held accountable and imprisoned for the actions tied to "pretty poison."
I read about a couple in the newspaper
Referencing a news story about a scandalous couple, drawing parallels to the speaker's own situation.
They were caught in lascivious carriage
Describing the scandalous actions of the couple in the news story.
We did the same and now I'm trapped
Feeling trapped due to a similar situation experienced.
It's not a lie, not a lie, not a lie
Reiterating the truthfulness of a statement made earlier.
Pretty poison so young oh so pure
Repetition of the description of someone as enticing yet potentially harmful.
Pretty poison I'd do anything for her
Reiteration of willingness to do anything for the person labeled as "pretty poison."
Pretty poison always does the trick
Reiterating the effectiveness and possibly manipulative nature of "pretty poison."
How would I know that she'd get me so sick
Expressing surprise or regret over the detrimental effects experienced due to involvement with "pretty poison."
I'm not going back to the padded room
Repeated declaration of preferring imprisonment over returning to a mentally confining place.
I'm going back to a cold hard cell
-I'm not going back to the padded room
-I'm going back to a cold hard cell
-I'm not going back to the padded room
-I'm going back to a cold hard cell
-Cold hard cell cold hard cell
Reinforcing the idea of imprisonment, emphasizing its cold and harsh nature.
