The song “Poison Cake” by Marko Bošnjak, Croatia’s entry for Eurovision 2025, is a dark and symbolic piece about revenge, empowerment, and reclaiming control.
Marko has explained that the song draws inspiration from fairy tales like Snow White and Hansel and Gretel. The “poison cake” is a metaphor...
[Verse 1]
It's cool now in the kitchen
That happens when you're bitten
I'm stirrin' and stirrin'
Deliciously pourin'
And I
Know you're gonna love this
A better kind of justice
I don't want it burnin'
[Refrain]
One last thing
A sprinkle of my sweet revenge
One last thing
A sprinkle of my sweet revenge
[Pre-Chorus]
Made you something that I know you'll like
Chocolate-covered, sugar and spice
Tasty, tasty, yum-yum, tasty
Candy colours, oh, so nice
Take a bite of my poison cake (Yum)
[Chorus]
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
[Verse 2]
Take a bite of my poison cake
Been cookin' in my cauldron late
You're never ever gonna stay awake
You're going down, down, down
You thought I was a servant slave
But I'm just a serpent snake
You better genuflect and pray
(You better genuflect and pray)
[Bridge]
Tingles of poison are hitting your veins
"What have you done?"
Your words are slurrin' as you fall down
[Refrain]
One last thing
A sprinkle of my sweet revenge
One last thing
A sprinkle of my sweet revenge
[Pre-Chorus]
Made you something that I know you'll like
Chocolate-covered, sugar and spice
Tasty, tasty, yum-yum, tasty
Candy colors, oh, so nice
Take a bite of my
[Chorus]
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
[Bridge]
It's not my fault, I got carried away
I lost control when I started to bake
A dash of death is better to swallow
Don't be scared, you'll be buried tomorrow
[Outro]
(Poison)
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
Poison cake
