Tone is the attitude a poet (or singer) takes toward their subject. An attitude the singer takes in this song is the feeling of helplessness. The song being called "Irresistable" shows that the singer is literally unable to resist the person who is hurting them. Another example of helplessness is in the line "Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation". This reference is to the way, just like a moth to the light, he has no choice and is drawn to her. Another attitude that the singer has in this song is the feeling of depression. An example of this is in the line, "cut me to the bone, nothing left to leave behind". This line shows that he has had everything taken away from him and she doesn't care.

So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
This part of the poem is talking about not just sitting there and doing nothing but getting up to do something about making your goal come true. The line "Choose to chance the rapids" to me means that life might not always run smoothly sometimes you get set backs and have to start again. You need to keep following your goal and continue to go with the flow until you get what you want.
