Gimme the poison
I love the poison
Hooked on the poison
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run… (so long ago, and so far away)
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison
Get out my head, get out my bed
I don’t believe those three words that you said
Pocket of lies, crystal blue eyes
Hit the ground hard when I dropped from the skies
You’re coming up when I’m going down
Never in sync, so we just sank and drowned
Press restart and reboot my heart
But I’m not a robot, so I fell apart
Before the moment we met, we were chatting on the Internet
Getting kinda close through the posts that we were looking at
I was pretty confident, you were pretty into that
I linked you to my music just to see if you’d be into it
So fuck the prologue, read the Internet blogs
Gonna love this style and I came from the clubs
I wasn’t looking for a thug, I was looking for a bad boy
Bad boy, motherfucker, destroy
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run… (so long ago, and so far away)
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run… (so long ago, and so far away)
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison
I want the poison, I need the poison
Gimme the poison, I love the poison
Hooked on the poison
(So far away
So long ago, and so far away
So far away
So long ago, and so far away)
Now I know for sure that we’ve got to end this
You don’t get no last kiss
‘Cause you’re so damn crazy, and I’m so damn helpless
So don’t text my number
And don’t call my mother
I can’t see your face now
‘Cause this is over
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run… (so long ago, and so far away)
I can’t believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison
(So long ago, and so far away)
Delving into the Emotional Turmoil of “So Far Away”
Charli XCX’s “So Far Away” is a raw portrayal of heartbreak and emotional chaos. The song captures the aftermath of a toxic relationship, using the metaphor of “poison” to symbolize the self-destructive pull of love gone wrong. Lyrics like “You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again” drive home the deep sense of betrayal and confusion. The repetitive references to poison reflect the addictive, yet damaging nature of the relationship, while the lines about online connections and club culture ground the narrative in a contemporary setting. Ultimately, the song chronicles both the pain and the liberation found in walking away from someone who brings more harm than happiness.
