about this song
Based off 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 poisonous fruit. The enemy or foe ends up under the tree, destroyed by the speaker’s pent-up anger.
