Dean Lewis - Poison (Official Video)

This video is the official music video for "Poison" by singer-songwriter Dean Lewis.

Themes and Narrative:

• Emotional Turmoil: The lyrics describe a painful experience of being betrayed and manipulated by someone close, leaving the narrator feeling isolated and broken (0:05 - 0:36).
• Survival: Despite feeling as though he was "poisoned" and pushed to his breaking point—metaphorically described as being held underwater and given a rope to end his life—he finds the strength to survive and overcome the situation (0:36 - 0:50, 1:34 - 1:48).
• Manipulation: The song explores how the antagonist twisted the truth and turned those around him against him, leaving him unable to escape their "web" (0:54 - 1:14).
• Haunting Memories: The outro of the song emphasizes the lingering psychological impact, with the narrator describing how the person continues to haunt him in his sleep (1:55 - 2:47).

The video serves as a raw, acoustic-driven visual representation of this personal journey from despair to resilience.
