A song filled to the brim with references to poisons and murders, “Darling, the Dose” is one large metaphor for a suffocating relationship.
Darling, the Dose Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hamlet's dad, he got it bad
They sent him off stage right
Now we're here and stuck, my dear
No antidote in sight
Venom and nightshade and strychnine's done in some

Darling
[Outro]
Hearts are unbroken
And in the right place
Time's in reverse
'Til you fall out of step
The dose is the poison
In this pillowcase
Darling
