Poison My Eyes Lyrics
I always knew I had what it took
To jump over any obstacle
Together and separate we've been through
Fight for me, I'd kill for you
I always knew things were the same
But there's a caution light in your brain
I won't help with your cement shoes
If bailing out is what you choose
You've been spending years and years
Carrying your darkest fears too long
You've been sucked in through a hole
With your vision of control so long
If you leave your defenses down,
We'll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down
Who won't pick you up?
Poison my eyes
Better men have tried, tried to bring me down
A man is a man is
A man you can't see clear
Now you're forced to hear
All that you dread, better to keep it in
Believe it's what you deserve
You make me feel everything I do
Bitters me and sabotages you
All it does is leave you behind
As you disconnect from the grind
Drowning in your own denial
It's a simple as a smile
One is strong, one insecure
Who dies first in our private war?
You've been spending years and years
Carrying your darkest fears too long
You've been falling through a hole
Now your vision of control is gone
Be dangerous, unpredictable and make a lot of noise
To jump over any obstacle
Together and separate we've been through
Fight for me, I'd kill for you
I always knew things were the same
But there's a caution light in your brain
I won't help with your cement shoes
If bailing out is what you choose
You've been spending years and years
Carrying your darkest fears too long
You've been sucked in through a hole
With your vision of control so long
We'll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down
Who won't pick you up?
Poison my eyes
A man is a man is
A man you can't see clear
Now you're forced to hear
All that you dread, better to keep it in
Believe it's what you deserve
Bitters me and sabotages you
All it does is leave you behind
As you disconnect from the grind
Drowning in your own denial
It's a simple as a smile
One is strong, one insecure
Who dies first in our private war?
Carrying your darkest fears too long
You've been falling through a hole
Now your vision of control is gone

First Comment! What an awesome song this is! It is on the Last Action Hero soundtrack thats where I heard it from and its amazing! POISON MY EYES MANY MAN HAS TRIED TRIED TO TAKE ME DOWN! is my favorite line in this whole song its fuckin awesome! And the double bass drumming in the start is kick ass! This song rocks I think it means that people who keep things in become dangerous and crazy.
I think it's a song about someone who just feels too sorry for himself and it annoys the narrator.
I think this song was about a toxic relationship that the writer was in. It's written from a point of view where he feels like the adversarial person he's tied to is trying their best to damage him emotionally and verbally, while being controlling toward him, basically trying to destroy him. So through reason and rebellion, he stayed unpredictable and released his frustration in a loud fashion.
