this song feels like walking alone at night, while a storm brews above. just you and the wind and dark clouds. when even the moon is not with you.

[elenaelena]

this song is tattooed in my head. I'll never forget it. even till the day I die

[asstrokidd]

This song makes me feel whole but not at the same time. Like I'm missing everything and nothing at once

[elamenop]

My mom is dieing of cancer. Watching her slowly evaporate from hunger and sickness is extremely tough. For some reason, this music has connected me with distant memories shared with my mother. It’s moving. Heart wrenching. Peaceful all the same time.

[linseyvanderm]

I feel like this song perfectly incapsulates what depression can be. It can feel comfortable at one point where even if it is poisonous it feels really good and perfect, so you want it to destroy you and you eventually become the poison tree.

Based of a poem by William Blake called 'A Poison Tree'. The poem focuses on the emotion of anger and the consequences for our relationships should that anger be suppressed.
In the poem the speaker tells of how he talked to a friend about his anger and everything was fine but with an enemy he could not do so and kept the anger inside. It began to grow, eventually becoming a metaphorical tree with poison fruit.
The enemy or foe ends up under the tree, destroyed by the speaker's pent up anger. The speaker seems ok about this but is there some doubt about the destructiveness of his anger? Early communication of anger seems the best way to deal with it.
A Poison Tree uses metaphor, antithesis and biblical associations to highlight the self-damage that can proceed from suppressing anger. The emphasis is on letting go of negative emotions and moving on with life before this energy impacts on the health and well being of others. This poem is an extended metaphor - the wrath (anger) becomes a tree, a fruit, a poison apple.

This song is one of the best encapsulations of the feeling of isolation that comes with being so angry at society, and having 0 outlet, that your rage becomes you, your spite becomes your personality, your anger becomes your voice, your frustrations become the way others see you, until your bones and blood have been replaced with nothing but the inside tiny beautiful poison tree.

I've been at that point several points in my life, where my depression and anger made me so abrasive that the only people willing to talk to me were people equally as angry as me, the people willing to eat the fruit from my poison tree, but never anyone there for me, just for my bitter honey-laced fruit.

This song came out in 2007 but sounds like 2020 music. Really goes to show you how ahead of its time it is.

[poopoo-rket]

music is extremely powerful and this song shows just that. it’s incredible how much music can make you feel something, or j anything in general. it can lift ur mood for two minutes or let the mood die for two minutes. i could go on and on why i love music sm but this is such a huge reason. this song makes me see that. this song is incredibly written and the music. i can feel the expression coming off of it.

[Arniqua]

I want to meet people in real life that share my love for songs like these...

A Poison Tree
BY WILLIAM BLAKE
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

It's crazy the power of music, I always say it is very spiritual being able to transcend emotions . I'm not sad but listening to this song makes me feel the sadness being expressed and to be honest it's beautiful but yet again dangerous cause it kinda like a bit of sadness get stuck on me .

[riazkiel]

This song is one of my most favorite songs. Ever since I found it I somehow grew attached to it.
There are times when it's gloomy and dark and I put this song on. This song sounds like a gloomy day and a draining week. Not a depressing one, just an uneventful one. Days like that are wonderful. You could sit in solace and do nothing.

[BradWnner]

oh thank God lyrics, I can finally understand wtf shes talking about

[Rainy_Starlet]

This song is able to make me miss a home I know doesn't exist, family that don't exist, another version of me that doesn't exist either. It makes me feel loved but also makes me hate myself and want to be someone else. How can a song make me feel like this is all a sick game that I live but ground me more than anything else can?

[Tiramisu_lover]

What makes this song even more nostalgic is that it was released back in 2007

[Gracefulhorses]

Now, this could be completely wrong, but... I feel the song is about gaining power or success by something that you know is bad for you, but you do it anyway. "least I'll still have company, " I think that line is like although I'm doing is an evil thing, at least I'm becoming what I dreamed of. "Make me feel like something powerful is growing deep inside of me"(The feeling of power and success), "Make my branches strong and hard"(become large and successful) "turn me into a poison tree"(become someone large and solid but bitter and selfish). Nevertheless, this song is fantastic and truly a masterpiece like many grouper songs. Thank you for reading! :]

This song makes me feel like I’m walking alone along a dark road in a time when no one else is awake. It’s only me, my footsteps, and the light of a single streetlamp faded by the mist hanging in the air. This song is both the bliss and sadness of solitude, how beautifully liberating yet lonely life can be; this song brings a feeling that I’ve been searching for my whole life.

[Derek.Project]

This sounds very haunting in a good way

[snive]

This song is me when I look out my window to a dark sky and droplets of water washing away the stains on the glass.
When I lay on my bed, with no thoughts running through my mind, so peaceful yet the sadness is still there.
When I dream of running around in a forest, hearing old leaves crushing beneath my feet, swaying my body with the wind, dancing with the trees.
This song just makes up my mindset.
