Intro:    verse 1 My first sip made me gag and I thought I was gonna blow beets But I took another and pretty soon brother sour mash started tasting sweet. Made me feel brave and strong bulletproof like I could do no wrong But I found out before too long what I should’ve known. You can learn to love anything even a bird in a cage will sing a song Even it’s wrong even if it kills you in the end. You can learn to love anything trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain Anything can bring you pleasure even pain   Pick your poison   poison    pick your poison. verse 2 Ruby lips hid a razor tongue and heart blue as glacier mice I was warned but I was willing to ignore everybody’s advice. The more I gave the more she took she walked away without a second look Just one more page from the great big book on how. You can learn to love anything even a bird in a cage will sing a song Even it’s wrong even if it kills you in the end. You can learn to love anything trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain Anything can bring you pleasure even pain   Pick your poison   poison    pick your poison. Outro Pick your poison   poison    pick your poison.   END

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'idée que l'on peut s'attacher à ce qui semble dangereux ou destructeur, tout comme le fait de choisir un poison qui pourrait nous faire du mal. L'interprète parle d'une expérience amoureuse difficile, où la passion et l'illusion peuvent mener à la souffrance. Il met en lumière comment l'on peut tomber amoureux de situations néfastes, en ignorant les avertissements des autres. Le message tourne autour du sacrifice de soi pour des plaisirs éphémères, soulignant que même des choix douloureux peuvent apporter une sorte de satisfaction temporaire. Ce paradoxe entre le plaisir et la douleur résonne dans les relations humaines, où l'on peut voir la beauté même dans ce qui est trompeur.
