ரொம்ப நாளா பைத்தியனா நான் திரிஞ்சேன்
உன் பின்னால நான் அலஞ்சேன்
இந்த லவ் யூ குள்ள நானும் தொளஞ்சேன்
அதனால இப்போ உன்ன நெனச்சு
இங்க நிக்கிற நேரம்
தள்ளி போக முடியலையே
For a long time, I wandered like crazy
I chased after you
I got lost inside this love
That is why now, thinking of you
The time standing here
I'm unable to move away
அடியே நீ
என்னா ப்ளாக் பண்ணி ப்ளாக் பண்ணி
அன் ப்ளாக்கு பண்ணுறியே
ரொம்ப டென்ஷன ஏத்துரியாயே
இருந்தாலும்
உன் அப்செஷநால
நீ குழப்பம் ஆக்குறியே
அடிக்டா நான் ஆனேனே
Hey girl, you...
You keep blocking me and blocking me
And then unblocking me
You raise my tension so much
Even so
With your obsession
You make me confused
I became an addict
இந்த டாக்சிக் காதல் வேணாம்
என்ன பண்ணுவேன் நான்
மாட்டிகிட்டு நானும் தத்தளிக்குறேன்
I don't want this toxic love
What will I do?
I am trapped and struggling
இந்த டாக்சிக் காதல் போனா
வாழ்க்கை ஆகும் கிளீனா
தெரிஞ்சுகிட்டே நான் என் உன்ன காதலிக்குறேன்
If this toxic love goes away
Life will become clean
Knowing this, why do I still love you?
உனக்காக என்ன மாத்தி
ரொம்ப மாறி போனேன்
லேட்டலி கிரிங்ஜா போன மாறி
நான் நிக்குறேன்
Changing myself for you
I changed a lot
Lately like a cringe girl
I stand here
கேஸ்லைட்டிங் இரிடேட்டிங்
இது தானா இப்போ டேட்டிங்
ப்ரீ ஆ நான் இருந்தேன் இப்போ
நான் ஜெயிலூலா
Gaslighting, irritating
Is this what dating is now?
I used to be free, now
I am in jail
உன்னால
என் ப்ரெண்ட்ஸ் எல்லாம் விட்டுடு
தூரமா போனங்களே
என் கண்ட்ரோல்ல லைஃப் இல்லே
Because of you
All my friends left
And went far away
Life is no longer in my control
இருந்தாலும்
உன் அப்செஷநால
நீ குழப்பம் ஆக்குறியே
ஒரு சொலுஷன் இல்லையே
Even so
With your obsession
You make me confused
There is no solution
இந்த டாக்சிக் காதல் வேணாம்
என்ன பண்ணுவேன் நான்
மாட்டிகிட்டு நானும் தத்தளிக்குறேன்
I don't want this toxic love
What will I do?
I am trapped and struggling
இந்த டாக்சிக் காதல் போனா
வாழ்க்கை ஆகும் கிளீனா
தெரிஞ்சுகிட்டே நான் என் உன்ன காதலிக்குறேன்
If this toxic love goes away
Life will become clean
Knowing this, why do I still love you?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Toxic Kadhal explores the chaos and emotional turmoil of modern romantic relationships characterized by toxic dynamics, mixed signals, and obsession. The protagonist reflects on how love has caused them to lose their self-identity, alienate their friends, and feel imprisoned by constant online blocking, unblocking, and gaslighting. Despite recognizing that leaving this toxic relationship would make their life cleaner and healthier, the singer feels helplessly addicted and unable to walk away. The song uses contemporary urban slang and real-world relationship themes like social media behavior, cringe actions, and gaslighting to articulate the frustration of loving someone who harms one's mental peace.
