Poison Lyrics

Your cruel device, Your blood like ice. One look could kill, My pain, your thrill. I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch) I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much) I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison You're poison runnin through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains. Your mouth, so hot Your web, I'm caught Your skin, so wet Black lace on sweat I hear you callin and it's needles and pins (and pins) I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in) I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison You're poison runnin through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains Poison One look (one look), could kill (could kill), My pain, your thrill. I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch) I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much) I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison You're poison runnin through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains Poison I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch) I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you, but I wanna too much (too much) I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison Yeah Well I don't wanna break these chains Poison Runnin deep inside my veins Burnin deep inside my veins Poison I don't wanna break these chains

Meaning of Poison

“Poison” embodies a dangerous and alluring obsession, exploring the intoxicating yet destructive nature of attraction. Alice Cooper portrays a character trapped in a horrifyingly seductive relationship where love is inextricably linked to pain and death. The repeated yearning for connection – to touch, hold, kiss, taste – clashes violently with an instinctive revulsion, fueled by the partner’s “poisonous” qualities: icy blood, venomous lips, and a captivating darkness. It's a desperate struggle against being consumed, symbolized by the "chains" that bind the narrator, unable to escape the overwhelming desire alongside the terrifying realization of its consequences. The song evokes feelings of anxiety, vulnerability, and morbid fascination, highlighting the artist’s signature blend of dark theatrics and unsettling psychological themes – a warning about embracing dangerous desires.
