Dopamine
Lost in Dopamine Highs: Temptations, Longing, and Heartache
Lyrics
Led me to my own demise
Feeling led to a personal downfall
When I got lost in those eyes
Feeling captivated or overwhelmed by someone's gaze
And now I can't disguise
Unable to hide the effects of dopamine-induced pleasure
These dopamine highs
Experiencing intense pleasure from dopamine rushes
Cause I know you know just how I feel
Belief that the other person understands emotions deeply
Even if you won't admit it's real
Perception that the other person denies the reality of emotions
I know you'll go in for the kill
Expectation of the other person causing harm or pain
Leave me wounded sick and ill
Anticipating being hurt or wounded emotionally
I know that I'm crazy
Admitting to feeling irrational or emotionally unstable
Could never call me baby
Being uncomfortable with traditional endearments
I get too attached and I know I've shown that lately
Acknowledging past behavior of becoming overly attached
But you still call me heartless
Being labeled as lacking in empathy despite feelings
I want you regardless
Desire persists despite negative perceptions
Those eyes are looking at me but I am not making progress
Feeling stagnant despite efforts in the relationship
Because I
Reiteration of personal responsibility for downfall
Led me to my own demise
Reflecting on personal responsibility for downfall
When I got lost in those eyes
Being entranced by someone's eyes led to downfall
And now I can't disguise
Unable to hide the effects of dopamine-induced pleasure (repeated)
These dopamine highs
Experiencing intense pleasure from dopamine rushes (repeated)
I know you overlook me but I'm begging you please
Feeling disregarded but still seeking approval
It's not a good look when I'm down on my knees
Feeling vulnerable and pleading for understanding
And I thought you were different I guess not for me
Realization that expectations of the person were incorrect
I try to keep my distance but your so tempting
Struggling to maintain distance due to temptation
And I've been overthinking all the shit you do I can't go thirty seconds without trippin bout you
Overanalyzing the other's actions, feeling consumed by thoughts
My friends try to convince they can't make me move
Friends' attempts to persuade a change in perspective
I'm just too caught up in those eyes so blue
Feeling deeply affected by the person's blue eyes
Cause you
Reiteration of personal responsibility for downfall (repeated)
Led me to my own demise
Reflecting on personal responsibility for downfall (repeated)
When I got lost in those eyes
Being entranced by someone's eyes led to downfall (repeated)
And now I can't disguise
Unable to hide the effects of dopamine-induced pleasure (repeated)
These dopamine highs
Experiencing intense pleasure from dopamine rushes (repeated)
