Lyrics for Down Poison as interpreted by Nelly

Down Poison Lyrics
I’ve dreamed about this,
Sixteen days away
Now you’re here,
And my head lays besides your body,
Pillowed under mine
You were poison,
Spinning round my mind
Welcome to my world
She said, do you feel
Alive she said
It’s all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head,
Welcome to my world,
She said, separated world,
She said, separated,
Down poison,
Down poison,
Body withered,
Body died,
Time to take away this life
Bad enough to die from one,
Not to mention
Four or five
Welcome to my world
She said, do you feel alive she said
It’s all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
Separated world,
She stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down
You weren’t there for me, I was there for you
You weren’t there for me, I was there for you
You weren’t there for me, I was there for you
You weren’t there for me, I was there for you
You wouldn’t die for me, I’ve died for you
You wouldn’t die for me, I’ve died for you
You wouldn’t die for me, I’ve already died for you
You wouldn’t die, you wouldn’t die, you wouldn’t die!
Welcome to my world she said, do
you feel alive she said
It’s all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
Separated world, she stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down.

sidebar...: the band's name is 3 doors down, not three doors down. whyyyyy do people post under the three instead of 3? crazy.

--

i think this song's about how he got caught up in a girl that he shouldn't have been around, at all. she was bad..she was his drug, his poison. she made him her (welcome to my world). but yeah.. he thought she'd make him happy and for a while maybe he was... but it didn't last.. it never does..

I love this song!

Especially the sentence "you wouldn't die for me i've already died for you"


This song makes me think of my ex-boyfriend...

Actually, I live close to the guys from 3 Doors Down and one of my best friends went to school with Brad Arnold, and this song is about a story in a Biloxi newspaper where a woman slept with a guy and gave him HIV... the next morning, she left him a note saying "welcome to my world" and thats all it said... the rest was just added on

Listening to this song, I think he says You and I, not You wouldn't Die. :|
And Home alone, Where the HELL does MONEY come into this?

Yeah, this has become my favorite song next to "Learning to Live" by Dream Theater. My ex told me she had AIDS, and didn't really even care. The line "You wouldn't die for me, but I've already died for you" means a lot, I can relate. The first time I heard this song since then I knew exactly what it meant, I wrote a poem about the way it feels with a similar feel.
