Song Meaning of “Poison” by Tim Timebomb
“Poison” by Tim Timebomb is a song about a toxic relationship that has been endured for too long. The narrator has come to the realization that despite how much love they have for their partner, they need to end the relationship because it has become too poisonous for them to bear. The song is a vivid narrative of the battle between love and pain as the narrator struggles to make this hard decision. The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of this decision by juxtaposing the sentiment of the first line –”I love the poison in your veins”– with the desperate plea of the second line “Oh I’m begging you, to get away”. The song speaks to the pain and confusion those in toxic relationships often feel while simultaneously trying to acknowledge the love they still feel for their partner, even in the face of all the hurt they’ve caused.
