Toxic
Destructive Attraction: Unraveling the Painful Spell in 'Toxic'
Lyrics
I knew you were trouble from the first time that I saw you
I recognized that you were trouble when I first saw you
And I know I probably should have stayed away (No shit)
I acknowledge that I should have avoided you
Well I guess it's too bad that I'm attracted to destruction
Despite knowing better, I am drawn to destructive tendencies
Here we go again, here we go again
Expressing a sense of repetition or déjà vu in getting involved again
Deceived, dumbfound, disappointed
Feeling deceived, bewildered, and let down
Please don't forget about me
A plea not to be forgotten despite the negative experiences
So just tell me if this pain remains
Asking if the pain from the past lingers
It's eating me away, it's eating me away
Intense emotional distress that is consuming the individual
Can you feel it hurting?
Inquiring if the pain is palpable
Does it hurt you too?
Wondering if the other person is also hurting
Does it hurt you too?
Reiteration of the question about shared pain
Oh shit, it feels like I'm under your spell
Feeling captivated and controlled by the other person
Mesmerized, spellbound by your curse
Being entranced and affected by a curse or negative influence
And now I'm stuck in this prison you've made
Feeling trapped in a situation created by the other person
Make it go away, make it go away, make it go away
Desire for the pain and situation to go away
So just tell me if this pain remains
Repeating the question about lingering pain
It's eating me away, it's eating me away
Reiteration of the consuming nature of the emotional distress
Can you feel it hurting?
Repeating the inquiry about palpable pain
Does it hurt you too?
Repeating the question about shared suffering
Make it go away, make it go away
Expressing a futile desire for the situation to end
It never fucking goes away
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the distress
It's tearing me away, tearing me away
Describing how the situation is tearing the person apart
From the inside out
Expressing the internal nature of the emotional turmoil
It's tearing me away (Inside out)
Repetition of the idea that the situation is internally destructive
It's tearing me, get me out, get me out, out
Feeling torn apart and seeking release
Staring at your pale face
Observing the other person's appearance with a sense of detachment
Feeling your hands as I freeze through my skin and bones
Feeling the touch of the other person intensely
Can you feel the strain?
Asking if the strain is felt
Can you feel the flame burning from inside?
Asking if the internal flame or passion is noticeable
It never goes away
Stating that the distress is persistent
Take me away to a place I belong
Desire to be taken away to a place of belonging
Silence is the only thing that waits for us in the end
Reflection on the inevitability of silence at life's end
So just tell me if this pain remains
Repeating the question about lingering pain
It's eating me away, it's eating me away
Reiteration of the consuming nature of the emotional distress
Can you feel it hurting?
Repeating the inquiry about palpable pain
Does it hurt you too?
Repeating the question about shared suffering
Make it go away, make it go away
Desire for the pain and situation to go away
It never fucking goes away
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the distress
It's tearing me away, tearing me away
Describing how the situation is tearing the person apart
From the inside out
Expressing the internal nature of the emotional turmoil
It's tearing me away (Inside out)
Repetition of the idea that the situation is internally destructive
It's tearing me, get me out, get me out
Feeling torn apart and seeking release
Can you feel the strain?
Asking if the strain is felt
Can you feel the flame burning from inside?
Asking if the internal flame or passion is noticeable
I can see your pain, you know it's all in vain
Perceiving the other person's pain and recognizing its futility
You don't need to suffer, you don't have to fret
Encouraging the other person not to suffer needlessly
Just close your eyes and walk away with no regrets
