A haunting echo of a past love reverberates through the lyrics of this evocative track. The protagonist grapples with an inability to escape memories of a former lover, despite her attempts to drown them out with louder music, stronger drinks and deeper smoke. She is ensnared in a cycle of longing and regret, unable to move forward or find solace in her usual vices. The poison coursing through her could be interpreted as the lingering pain from the relationship, blurring her vision and clouding her mind. Her plea for the object of her affection to express their feelings before it's too late adds another layer of desperate yearning. This song beautifully captures the torment of unrequited love and the relentless grip it holds on one's consciousness.
