  • So I basically rewrote the whole end of this song and made it a lot sadder, you’re welcome.
    Hope you enjoyed my rewrite/cover of Toxic by Britney Spears! This cover is a bit of an experiment to see if there’s a demand for covers like this, taking pop songs and making them slower and sadder and changing them up. I enjoyed making it so I hope you enjoyed listening so I can make more!

    _
    Baby, can't you see I'm calling?
    A guy like you should wear a warning
    It's dangerous, I'm falling
    There's no escape, I can't wait
    I need a hit, baby, give me it
    You're dangerous, CAUGHT ON YOUR KISS
    Too high, can't come down
    SINKING IN YOU AN IM GONNA DROWN
    YOU DON'T HEAR A SOUND
    With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
    You're toxic, I'm slipping' under
    Taste of a poison paradise
    I'm addicted to you
    Don't you know that you're toxic?
    And I love what you do
    Don't you know that you're toxic?
    It's getting late to give you up
    I took a sip from A devil's cup
    Slowly, it's taking over me
    I’M STUCK, LOST AND FOUND
    YOU'RE IN MY HEAD AND YOU'RE ALL AROUND
    I CAN'T FIND THE GROUND
    With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
    You're toxic, I'm slipping' under
    With a taste of a poison paradise
    I'm addicted to you
    Don't you know that you're toxic?
    And I love what you do
    Don't you know that you're toxic?
    RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS, TIMES UP, IT'S TOO LATE
    I’LL SUFFER THROUGH THE PAIN
    I’LL OVERDOSE IF I STAND TOO CLOSE
    SHOULDA SEEN THE SIGNS, RED FLAGS FLYING ALL THE TIME
    BUT YOU COVER MY EYES AND TELL ME ITS ALL FINE
    SAY THAT YOU'RE A ROSE TILL I GRAB AND FEEL THE THORNS
    YEAH THOSE THORNS CUT DEEP BUT I CAN'T RETREAT
    SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES YEAH YOU GOT ME HYPNOTIZED
    CAN'T FEEL I'M BLEEDING OUT
    FAIRYTALES GOT IT WRONG/Intoxicate me now, with your loving now
    YOU WERE THE VILLAIN ALL ALONG/I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready now
    MASTERMIND OF A GAME/Intoxicate me now, with your loving now
    I DIDN'T KNOW I PLAYED/I think I'm ready, I THINK I'M READY NOW
    I KNOW YOUR BAD/INTOXICATE ME NOW, WITH YOUR LOVING NOW
    THE BEST THING I MUSTN'T HAVE/I THINK IM READY, I THINK I'M READY NOW
    I'M LOST IN YOU/INTOXICATE ME NOW, WITH YOUR LOVING NOW
    I'M READY NOW

    Such a tragic feel to it. So much pain and regret expressed in such a beautifully haunting way. I can decide if the protagonist is slipping into madness after the death of her lover, the protagonist’s soul shouting from the Beyond, or the protagonist realizing her lover is going to drag her to Hell.
    Well done, indeed!

    It could be a perfect song for "Poison Ivy". More than "Poison Ivy", it would be a perfect song for one of her victims.
    Also because "Poison Ivy" has the ability to seduce men and women, using her pheromones.
    Also, direct touch to her skin can poison a normal person if she wishes to.
    She has also created several types of toxins for various purposes, including a truth serum and a love potion, often secreted from her lips and administered to victims through a kiss.
    She also has the ability to manipulate people by seducing them and using her special pheromones. And she can mind control anyone who isn't immune to mind control.
    So this song would be a perfect "POV Song" of the person who has been seduced by "Poison Ivy" and is slowly getting more and more intoxicated with her toxins, as if it were a drug.
    Realizing too late that she has fallen into a villain's trap.

    • @EvanMe

      Better yet: this could be from the POV of Harley Quinn as she slowly comes to the realization of how toxic her relationship with the Joker was as she comes to the frightening discovery that she's starting to fall for Poison Ivy despite her own misgivings about love and the knowledge of how dangerous it is to be Ivy's partner.

    I just listened to this song and have to say this is one of the hardest things I've listened to. The somber melody mixed with the way your voice hit across it perfectly... I absolutely loved it! This inspired me so much on so many levels.
    It put me into the shoes of a hero who had just had a grueling fight against the villain to save the girl... only to watch as the "damsel" turned out to be the big villain all along. Now, coming to grips with this new predicament, the hero having to fight the very person he was in love with throughout the story... the very meaning to his entire journey and his life up until that moment... that kind of heartbreak...

    okay... this gave me chills 😳 and i'm only on the first chorus.
    upd: this was mesmerizing. the further you proceed to listen to it the more the song's evolving in dynamic. the power in the voice and the arrangement be like 🤝. it's such a great work! you could think of my comment as a request to do more of this kind of thing;)

    This is like the definitive version of slow toxic, which is literally just the original song slowed but it makes the pitch lower and breathier and changes the entire tone.
