Poison, in this context, is a metaphor for negativity. And how one should try one’s best to not let it enter their inner-being. It’s just poison.
The song also feels like an anthem for the underdog!
[Verse One: Soniq]
This is…
This is my movie, and I'm afraid you play a minor role. A young diamond in the rough but that how miners roll
A finer soul calling action on a scene of peace. But this a thriller, and you've only seen a piece. Like
A Quentin Tarantino preview. Now we're about to dim the lights. Cause somebody wanna review, so everybody is on ice
Tryna be precise on whether it'll rain. There's a king to it, so in any weather it'll reign
Man, fuck critics, I am giving presents to the vane by being alive, you feel my presence in your veins
They're all loving it except you, I can hear it in your voice and, through it all I still accept you
You and all your fucking poison
[Chorus]
If they don't know now, any day they're gon' see. It's falling to the ground as it rains on me
(On me) It keeps raining on me, but it doesn't affect me because it is only… (Only)
Poison
Poison
Poison
Keeps raining on me; poison
[Verse Two: J Lawless]
Yo!
Turn it up loud 'til it's stressing out your window panes. Drown in the sound, get obsessive when it plays
Even though I entertain, if you listen to the pain or realize in a way I'm a sinner praying
For a resolution, plotting his escape. Looking out the window panes when the optimism fades
Every revolution is but another day. And every dog has his, I'm barking at the gate!
I've cleared the path, mayors will pave the road. Feeling like a king among jesters in this game of thrones
In the land of quick fixes the game is thrown. You drank from the elixir, let it take its toll
I'ma save maid Marian and take her home, I go 'til I can't take no more
And if I'm not back by the break of dawn, I've been poisoned. God, save my soul
[Chorus]
[Bridge: Soniq]
We gon' let it crawl under your skin real quick..
