Poison Was The Cure Lyrics
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known you'd crush me
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I'm the sun that beats your brow in
Til I finally threw the towel in
Never knowing if I'd wake up in a
Whirlpool got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood
In a cesspool I became dead
From a rock star to a desk fool
Was my destiny someone said
Loves a tidepool
Taste the waters life's abundant
Taste me
This song is about cocaine, and how it damages you no matter how much you think you need it.
If Dave is talking about any kind of drug, it is definitely heroin. Not only was he a heroin addict, but the lines
"Pulling out your poisoned fangs The venom never goes away Serpent swims free in my blood Dragons sleeping in my veins"
reinforce that. Not only that, but it might not be about drugs. Notice the line "Love's a tidepool". He could be talking about a woman.
it's either about drugs or women
Why would this song be about cocaine, its obvoisly talking about using a needle and shooting up, "pulling out your poisoned fangs". I say it's about heroine, not a chick because of the title, Poison Was The Cure
I'd say its about heroin, judging by what dave had been through. Whatever, it's a kickass song, shows that thrash doesn't just have to be open e strumming, u just have to be a damn good guitarist to play it otherwise.
it sound like he was fucking a drug addict just kidding...actually drugs do sound a little too easy for this one. now i would call it a woman because "I should have known you'd crush me A snake you were when we met I loved you anyway Pulling out your poisoned fangs" talking about when they met she was a bitch but he loved it they broke up and he can't spend a waking minute not thinking about her....just my take on it loves a bitch aint it?
Could very easily be comparing heroin to a woman, although probably not all women...
The actual song content seems to be about herion and how fast it hooked him but I think the name itself relates to methadone being the poison used to cure herion addiction/overdose.
heroin addict
douche bag
douche bag
I think either heroin or women can apply
