Taste the Poison
Breaking the Chains: Unveiling the Dark Allure of Self-Destruction
Lyrics
It's the same old story
Expressing a sense of repetition and familiarity with a common narrative.
I've seen it all too many times
Reflecting on having witnessed similar situations numerous times.
It's the fall from glory
Referring to a decline from a state of honor or success.
That makes you feel
Describing the emotional impact of the fall from grace.
Place your needle to the record, stab it down
Using metaphorical imagery of a needle and record to depict a self-destructive action.
It feels good to be the one to break the skin
Experiencing satisfaction from causing harm or breaking one's own barriers.
So run with me now, look at me now
Inviting someone to join in the reckless behavior.
You're face down, tell yourself you're happy once again
Acknowledging a downward spiral but attempting self-delusion about happiness.
Right now you need this more than anything
Highlighting an intense need for the destructive behavior in the present moment.
But it's never enough, it's never enough for you
Conveying that the indulgence is never sufficient for the person involved.
And it's the same old story
Reiterating the recurring nature of the depicted narrative.
I've seen it all too many times
Emphasizing the familiarity with the depicted downfall.
It's the fall from glory
Linking the fall from glory to a heightened sense of being alive.
That makes you feel alive
Expressing the paradoxical sensation of feeling alive through a downfall.
And you know the hardest truth can flow like water now
Stating that harsh truths can be as fluid and pervasive as water.
Break down, the moment that it touches your mouth
Describing a vulnerable moment when a truth affects the individual profoundly.
So place your lips against the bottle, take it down
Using the act of drinking from a bottle as a metaphor for losing control.
It feels good to lose control of everything
Expressing the pleasure derived from relinquishing control.
But I wasn't myself, I wasn't myself she said
Acknowledging a departure from one's true self.
And it's the same old story
Repeating the theme of a familiar and repetitive narrative.
I've seen it all too many times
Reiterating the abundance of similar experiences.
It's the fall from glory
Reaffirming the connection between the fall from glory and a heightened sense of being alive.
That makes you feel alive
Recalling the recurring nature of the depicted downfall.
And it's the same old story
Highlighting the repetitiveness of the narrative once again.
I've seen it all too many times
Reiterating the abundance of similar experiences.
But it's not what you wanted
Suggesting that the current situation is not in line with personal desires.
Can anyone feel, can anyone see
Pose questions about whether others can perceive or understand the situation.
Can anyone taste the poison that we need
Pose questions about whether others can taste the destructive allure that is craved.
That we need
Emphasizing the desperation for the destructive substance or behavior.
Place your needle to the record, stab it down
Reiterating the metaphor of using a needle on a record to symbolize self-harm.
It feels good to be the one to break the skin
Reiterating the satisfaction derived from causing harm or breaking one's own barriers.
So run with me now, look at me now
Encouraging someone to join in the reckless behavior once again.
You're face down, this is what you wanted
Reiterating the state of being face down, perhaps in a metaphorical or literal sense.
This is what you wanted, this is what you wanted
Affirming that the current situation is what was desired or sought after.
And I know, but we've lost control
Acknowledging a loss of control and a sense of inevitability.
Here we go
Marking a transition or escalation in the narrative.
Yeah can anyone feel, can anyone see, yeah
Repeating questions about whether others can perceive or understand the situation.
Can anyone taste the poison that we need
Repeating questions about whether others can taste the destructive allure that is craved.
Yeah can anyone feel, can anyone see, yeah
Repeating questions about whether others can perceive or understand the situation.
Can anyone taste the poison that we need
Repeating questions about whether others can taste the destructive allure that is craved.
That we need, that we need, that we need
Emphasizing the desperate need for the destructive substance or behavior.
Yeah that we need
Repeating the assertion of the desperate need for the destructive substance or behavior.
