Pick Your Poison Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
You talk in your sleep
Oh, what a waste of breath
'Cause there's nothing in your head to stop the end
Staring back at me
A bouquet of baby's breath
That you had left for dead beside our bed
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, we're too tired to fight
But we can't sleep side by side
Is this the rest of our lives?
[Chorus]
Are we going down with the ship now?
Or trying to swim till we both drown?
And there's no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
Are you gonna stand there and take it?
Or are you too scared to face it?
And there’s no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
[Verse 2]
Who are we fooling?
We both jumped off the ledge
With a parachute of lead hoping the best
What are we doing?
Oh, we never stood a chance
Like a flower under glass we'd never last (No, we'd never last)
[Chorus]
Are we going down with the ship now?
Or trying to swim till we both drown?
And there's no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
Are you gonna stand there and take it?
Or are you too scared to face it?
And there's no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
[Bridge]
Pick your poison
Can't avoid it
[Chorus]
Are we going down with the ship now?
Or trying to swim till we both drown?
And there's no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
Are you gonna stand there and take it?
Or are you too scared to face it?
And there's no way to avoid it
So go on now pick your poison
[Post-Chorus]
Pick your poison
Can't avoid it
Pick your poison
Can't avoid it
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Chrissy describes the disconnection between the two in the relationship. The imagery of talking in sleep symbolizes how communication has become meaningless, as there is nothing left to stop the relationship from ending. The use of a "bouquet of baby's breath," a symbol of innocence, represents something once beautiful now left to decay, reflecting the loss of their relationship’s vitality.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus emphasizes the exhaustion and emotional weariness both individuals feel. Chrissy captures the inability to fight anymore while questioning if this state of inertia is what the rest of their lives will be like. It reflects the struggle between continuing to coexist in a broken relationship and the fear of facing reality.
[Chorus]
The chorus presents the metaphor of "going down with the ship" to symbolize staying in a sinking relationship or attempting to "swim" and salvage what is left. However, both options seem to lead to inevitable destruction. Chrissy challenges the other person to "pick your poison," asking whether they will passively accept the downfall or confront the painful truth of the relationship.
[Verse 2]
This verse continues the metaphorical imagery, likening the relationship to jumping off a ledge with a lead parachute—something that was doomed from the start. Chrissy reflects on how they were never going to last, much like a fragile flower trapped under glass, unable to thrive. It conveys the inevitability of the relationship’s failure.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, Chrissy reiterates the central conflict, questioning whether they will continue to struggle in vain or face the difficult choice ahead. The repeated line "pick your poison" emphasizes that no matter the choice, both options lead to pain, capturing the inescapable nature of the situation.
[Bridge]
The bridge echoes the message of inevitability, reinforcing the idea that neither person can avoid the difficult decision they face. The repeated line "can't avoid it" drives home the harsh reality that there is no escaping the outcome.
[Post-Chorus]
In the post-chorus, Chrissy continues to emphasize the theme of inescapable choices, with the repeated phrase "pick your poison." This section serves as a final reminder of the emotional burden both individuals must carry, unable to avoid the consequences of their relationship’s downfall.
