about

Following the sonic experiments of The Death of Art and the band’s journey as an independent artist, Daydream XI presents ‘Poison’ a mix of old school 70’s Prog Rock with Death Metal elements and a catchy Pop chorus.

Written by frontman Tiago Masseti, the song is a reflection on the anxiety that accompanies the life of artists and the hardship of dealing with past accomplishments and failures.

lyrics

You were born for greatness
Try not to fit in
The storm you’ve been weaving
Is on the verge of breaking out

Won’t be forsaken
Somehow replacing
The legends you’re hailing
Are on the verge of breaking down

Lost all trace of innocence
Only hate runs through his veins
Far from who he was one day
Just a ghost who lost his way

[Chorus]
Finally
I’m able to breathe
Captive inside of me
I lay me down
I can see
A way to break free
From the walls I’m building
Around me

Accustomed to failure
Efficient by nature
Firmly remaining
Never thought of dropping out

Won’t be forgotten
Turned into nothing
For what you have started
Isn’t close to shutting down

[Chorus]

Dripping poison
‘Cross a lonesome trail
Leading nowhere
Longing to be found
