Spire Circle – The Poisoner

Brutal synths and dark beats: 'The Poisoner' by Spire Circle

With "The Poisoner", "Spire Circle" deliv­ers a dark and mel­an­chol­ic synth pop track that imme­di­ately catches the ear and lingers for a long time. The bru­tal syn­thes­isers and tech­nic­ally per­fect beats drive the song inex­or­ably for­ward and cre­ate a mood that excludes any cheer­ful­ness. At 124 BPM, the song moves at an ener­get­ic but nev­er hec­tic pace, under­pinned by crisp sounds and a subtle but present EBM bassline.

The lyr­ics are just as dark and mel­an­chol­ic as the music­al found­a­tion. Lines such as "The traps you spring upon me / Begin to work their pois­on" and "You saw the dev­il inside me" per­fectly cap­ture the deep des­pair and inner con­flict that the song conveys.

Fans of "Ultra Sunn" and "Depeche Mode" will love "The Poisoner" as Spire Circle man­ages to com­bine their dark aes­thet­ic with a mod­ern sound. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘. The playl­ist is updated con­tinu­ously. Follow this playl­ist now and don’t miss any of the latest synth pop hits in 2024.

Lyrics of "Spire Circle – The Poisoner"

Too close, you say, for comfort
Your broken sense of sunlight
Comes peer­ing through your faded blinds

There's not a shred of silence
Cast down upon this moment
There's noth­ing left for you but noise

It's not going to end this time
"I'm not going back inside"
That's what you swore.

The threads from which you're hanging
Grow thin­ner by the moment
You're grow­ing help­less in the dark

The traps you spring upon me
Begin to work their poison
Begin to seep inside my heart

It's not going to end this time
"I'm not going back inside"
That's what you swore.

You saw the dev­il inside me
You saw the moment that it all came down
You saw the dev­il inside me.
