Poison / I Am the Poison
This is an upbeat modern synth-pop track with a driving, danceable rhythm and a polished, radio-ready sound. The song sits in a minor key, creating an emotional contrast between its energetic groove and introspective tone. The tempo is moderately fast, giving it a sense of forward momentum and lift. The instrumentation is built around a pulsing synth bass that provides a tight, rhythmic foundation, locking in with a punchy kick drum. Bright, glossy synths carry the main melodic hooks, layered with airy pads that add depth and atmosphere. Clean electric guitar textures, including light arpeggios and rhythmic accents, add shimmer and movement without overpowering the mix. The structure follows a clear verse, pre-chorus, and chorus format, with a noticeable lift in intensity during the chorus through added instrumentation and fuller production. The overall mix is bright, balanced, and energetic, combining emotional depth with an infectious, upbeat feel.

Lyrics
Stockholm nights in a basement glow
Static on the radio
Feel it breathing in my bones
Turn it up, I’m not alone
Heard every warning sign
But I blurred every line
Now the voice in my head sounds just like mine
On the edge, on the edge, I’m leaning in
Running dry but I like the way it hits
When I fade, when I fade, will they notice me?
I don’t wanna feel right, I just wanna feel alive
Singing to a melody I’ll never hear
I touch it and it dies every single time
I need the poison
Feel it creeping under your skin
I am the poison
Let it pull you further in
I am the poison
Ooh ooh
I am the poison
Ooh ooh
I am the poison
(Down and out, yeah I’m down and out)
You’re not like me, you’re not like me
(Down and out, yeah I’m down and out)
You’re not like me, you’re not like me
(Down and out, yeah I’m down and out)
You’re not like me, you’re not like me
(Down and out, yeah I’m down and out)
You’re not like me
If I disappear, would it matter at all?
Or just echo in the dark when I fall?
Yeah I know, yeah I know how it goes
I am the poison
Feel it creeping under your skin
I am the poison
Let it pull you further in
I am the poison
Ooh ooh
I am the poison
Ooh ooh
I am the poison
Down and out, I can’t hold the line
Falling faster every time
If I’m sinking, you’re coming too
Nothing left but me and you
Down and out, I can’t hold the line
Falling faster every time
If I’m sinking, you’re coming too
I’ll make a ghost of you
