All-American Rejects, The - The Poison Lyrics






You were so young
And I guess I'm old
Open your eyes
I'll keep mine closed
I prefer standing
And you take your seat
I'll be wide awake
And you'll fall asleep

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess that sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

I can be pensive
You can be so sure
You'll be the poison
You'll be the cure
I'm alone on the journey
I'm alive none the less
And when you do your very worst
Mmmmm it feels the best

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place in this world that we both know
You take me with you if you could
But if you could I'd lose everything

Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
You wanna die? No?

So you fall down a hole
That's the one place where we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
Because sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

    I feel like this song was way underrated on the album.. Sad :(

  5. C.... S....

    I can not listen to this song without thinking of Ulquiorra and Orihime.... The song fits so much really, down to every word.

  6. a.... ....

    The opening just gives you one of those feelings. Like everything might be shit, but you've got your little safety net.

  7. T.... C....

    This song reminds me of the book splintered

    T.... C....

    Theresa Cherco I absolutely love the Splintered series.

    T.... C....

    And yeah, it reminds me of Alyssa and Morpheus.

    T.... C....

    Period

    d.... ....

    +Corey Messick Why you gotta be like that?

  9. s.... 3....

    2:28 is where the twist part came in, and it surprised me. Kinda like showing a flip side to it's more mellow atmosphere.

    s.... 3....

    @Yvonne Arellano it fits the movie then lmao

    s.... 3....

    @Jacob Greaney Huh, it does. Though I never watched it before.

  14. M.... T....

    everyone's makin aiw comparisons but tbh this song reminds me of homestuck ono

    M.... T....

    Well the song is from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland ^^;

    M.... T....

    ....it is? O:

    M.... T....

    haha man i didn't know that :'D

  15. T.... ....

    this is great

  16. P.... G....

    I think exactly the same, for me, it seems like The Mad Hatter has been in love with Alice for a very long time and this song reflects his feeling about her

  17. S.... S....

    this is a song tyson ritter wrote for his ex girlfriend but he mix it into the theme of alice and wonderland

  18. S.... F....

    explaining the spontaneous twist

  19. E.... S....

    So in love with this song.

  20. X.... ....

    I think the las 200 visits are mine, awesome song, it makes me feel so... melancholic.

  21. K.... ....

    At First:
    Me: Isn't there some intense part
    LAter:
    Me: There it is

  22. J.... H....

    SHIT I LOVE THIS SONG SOOONMUCH!!!!!!

  23. S.... ....

    I just looked up pictures pertaining to Alice In Wonderland on Google.

  24. T.... ....

    where did you find the pictures

  25. K.... M....

    I think this is for the Mad Hatter and Alice, but i also like this song for Jareth and Sarah from The Labyrinth :)

  26. M.... P....

    When it changed tempos, I jumped. XD

  27. P.... H....

    The first part sounded somewhat like Creep by Radiohead... I dunno, it just sounds like the song....

  28. b.... ....

    Simple words- I love this Song

  29. b.... ....

    I belive it Hang befind not Left befind. But that just what im hearing

  30. b.... ....

    he has an explination for it with the interview he did with avril lavigne

  31. C.... A....

    its also a song from the cd "almost alice", whice was made in the occasion of the new alice in wonderland. a lot of diffrint bands an singers have each made a song relatet to the movie, this is on of them. but yhear, i would say its the mad hatter to alice ^ ^

  32. b.... ....

    nolie, i'm searching for a white rabbit through all these reccomended videos. AND AM FAILING IN MY CHASE. >:T

  33. C.... E....

    They were meant to be!!

  34. L.... M....

    I love them together.

  35. C.... E....

    its from the POV of the mad hatter about his feelings toward Alice <3

  36. J.... C....

    what is this song about? I love the music and rythm, but I just wanna understand the meaning of the lyrics

  37. T.... ....

    a more sensitive version of AAR

  38. A.... S....

    *string resonates

  39. A.... S....

    Its Tyson Ritter, he stuck the mic in to the piano, so when he sings a note, the corresponding sting resonates. Thats why it sounds a little under water

  40. T.... O....

    I think this song is the mad hatter talking to alice

  41. N.... B....

    ppl are poking fun at me cause i like this song, but no doubt its freaking AMAZING

  42. K.... R....

    Yeah that sounds nothing like AAR

  43. V.... a....

    @Tokanii I fully agree with you, I thought the same thing when I started to listen. :D

  44. T.... ....

    @mcrfob3dg Sounds more like it's a song from The Mad Hatter's perspective being projected towards Alice.

  45. R.... ....

    Lol 123 likes :3

  46. m.... ....

    @mcrfob3dg I thought the song was comparing Alice to the Mad Hatter. But it could just be me...

  47. R.... ....

    amazing song!

  48. L.... l....

    i love that part: 2:37 ♥'

  49. A.... ....

    awesome ! <3

  50. V.... ....

    Apparently all the critics decided that the songs written for the Almost Alice Album had nothing to do with the movie, which I personally think is all wrong =/

  51. H.... ....

    I love this song so peaceful always calms me, and in the movie if anyone wants to know the reason it focuses on the Mad Hatter and Alice is because to Alice the Mad Hatter protreyed her father, she saw all the crazzy things she saw in her father in the Mad Hatter

  52. R.... T....

    if this song ended as 2:25 it would be perfect

  53. m.... ....

    @xTheMushroomKingdomx I think the dislike was an accident :D

  54. w.... ....

    I think its the Mad Hatter vs Alice..

  55. L.... W....

    @mcrfob3dg i think it might be comparing alice and the mad hatter, cuz the more screamish type of the song can represent how the hatter would loose it a few times. and also i think this because the hatter lives in wonderland but alice had to return to her world. so i think it might be either that or its just about the hatter =P

  56. A.... ....

    I love how near the end, the music suddenly changes. X3.

  57. M.... M....

    This song kills me X.x

  58. v.... n....

    This describes me and my loves relationship

  59. C.... ....

    first time i ever herd this love it

  60. k.... ....

    id put this on repeat cept it has that crazy part at the end sorta spoils it imo

  61. l.... ....

    i think it's like the hatter singing to alice tbh.

  62. J.... B....

    damn thats a great song :)

  63. Y.... ....

    I'm so addicted and in love with this song *---*

  64. K.... H....

    In this song, I think they're comparing young Alice to older Alice, anyone agree? Or feels the same way?

  65. C.... W....

    Do u think u culd make lyrics for i wanna i love tht song :)
