WE ARE FURY talked about “Poison” in their official album commentary release:
Joachim Speidel:
“Poison” with Derek Joel was our first stab at a dubstep record. I wrote this verse at first, and I had an idea of the kind of writing the theme of the track. So this is a track that started with the theme first. And then George Shrouder, who’s like a friend of ours in LA, tracked some guitar for it. And then for the drop, we re-sampled the bass from the first heavy track, and then made some wave tables, made some cool growls with that. And thematically, the song has like, I wanted it to have like two takes on it, where it could have been like a relationship angle, but also like a political angle.
Stuart Brookes:
It’s cool to be able to include things that allow people to sort of see and interpret the lyrics in their own way, given the few different angles.
Joachim:
I wanted it to be about this person who basically portrays himself in a different way. And as time passes, they start finding out all these things, and it ends up they’re not the way they were portraying themselves. And it’s like a constant reminder like “Oh, the things you said. You’ve gone so far from home.” Just so far from truth the reality is. So this can be in a romantic sense, with like a partner, but also I wanted to have this political angle, where it could be a politician or someone in the corporate world, who, you know, preaches a certain narrative or whatever, and ends up doing the total opposite and disregarding what the people want, type thing.
Stuart:
And it’s something that we all encounter all the time in real life.

[Verse 1]Held down by the darknessStuck in the in-betweenIt feels like I'm hauntedI don't know what's wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]I was calling out your nameI was crying out in painYou don't even feel the shameNo, no, no
[Chorus]Drink the poisonDon't you knowThat you have gone so far from home?Drink the poison, close the doorI've had enough, I want no moreDrink the poisonDon't you knowThe things you said so long ago?Drink the poisonYour heart's so coldTried to run, you won't let go
[Drop]PoisonDrink the PoisonPoison
[Verse 2]My life left behind meI'm not who I used to beThere's something inside meThat's begging to be set free
[Pre-Chorus]I was calling out your nameI was crying out in painYou don't even feel the shameNo, no, no
[Chorus]Drink the poisonDon't you knowThat you have gone so far from home?Drink the poison, close the doorI've had enough, I want no moreDrink the poisonDon't you knowThe things you said so long ago?Drink the poisonYour heart's so coldTried to run, you won't let go
[Drop]PoisonDrink the PoisonPoison
[Bridge]You won't let go
[Chorus]Drink the poisonDon't you knowThe things you said so long ago?Drink the poison, close the doorI've had enough, I want no moreDrink the poisonDon't you knowThe things you said so long ago?Drink the poisonYour heart's so coldTried to run, you won't let go
[Drop]You won't let goYou won't let go
