Mosquito, mosquito, buzzing around
Landing on my knee
How can I truly be angry with you?
All you want is to be part of me

Now we are lying and counting the leaves
Underneath our tree
How can I truly be angry with you?
All you want is to be part of me

You love like no human could
You love like no human should

Poison, the poison, I taste on your lips
Makes the apple red
Wouldn't you love if I fell like Snow White
Slumbered in your bed?

You love like no human could
You love like no human should
You love like no human could
You love like no human should

Are you poison?
Are you poison?
Are you poisoning me?

Are you poison?
Are you poison?
Are you poisoning me?

Are you poison?
Are you poison?
Are you poisoning me?
How can I truly be mad
When all that you want is to be
When all that you want is to be
Part of me, me, me?

    Personally, I think it could be looked at from the perspective of someone being stalked. Lines such as "How can I truly be angry with you? All you want is to be part of me," for example. Stalkers obsess and fixate over their "prey," the person they want nothing more than to be with. It consumes them. Much like Mosquitos, they feed off of the person they're fixated with (well, in a metaphorical sense, anyway).

    Also, her reference to poison could be looked at in two ways. First,the stalker poisoning the victim. Victims of stalking become consumed by fear. Constantly worrying that the stalker is close by, when the next phone call will be, what information they found out on them, etc...It's like a poison to them because of the negative feelings associated with it, as well as the frequency.

    Or, it could be the victim poisoning the stalker. The stalker could be so overwhelmed with the need to be with or near to this person that it drives them completely mad. Thinking day in and day out, about this one person in particular that they start to doubt their sanity or what they might possibly be capable of doing. Just a burning desire to be in someone's life and want nothing else. That could be the stalker's poison.

    Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
