Addiction in Love: Unraveling the Grip of Dangerous Longing
Lyrics
When I first met you you were like
Introduction to the person being addressed, emphasizing their initial impression.
A dealer straight from the streets
Comparing the person to a street dealer, suggesting a risky and unconventional nature.
It wasn't coke nor dope nor crank
Clarifying that the subject is not involved with typical drugs like cocaine, heroin, or meth.
It wasn't methamphetamines
Reiterating that the connection is not based on traditional narcotics.
It's something far more dangerous
Describing the relationship as something more perilous, addictive, and challenging to manage.
More addictive and hard to control
Highlighting the intensity and difficulty of controlling this connection.
It was your love your alibis
Identifying the elements that make the relationship dangerous - love and alibis (excuses).
And I couldn't say no
Expressing the difficulty of resisting the allure of the person.
And I hate that I still love you
Admitting the ongoing love for the person despite negative consequences.
And I know what they say
Acknowledging awareness of what others say about the relationship.
And I loathe that I still think of you
Expressing strong dislike for still thinking about the person.
It's about all I do these days
Indicating that thoughts of the person consume most of the individual's time.
Every day I wake up with your sin
Every day starts with the burden of the person's influence or wrongdoing.
Missing the skin that you live in
Longing for the physical and emotional connection that has been lost.
Every day it's hard to shake
Highlighting the persistent challenge of overcoming the memories of love.
Missing the loving that we'd make
Mourning the absence of the intimate moments shared in the past.
And I hate that I still love you
Reiterating the internal conflict of still loving the person despite negative aspects.
And I know what they'd say
Acknowledging the awareness of external opinions about the relationship.
And I loathe that I still think of you
Expressing a strong aversion to persistently thinking about the person.
It's about all I do these days
Emphasizing the overwhelming nature of thoughts about the person.
And I hate that I still love you
Repetition of the internal struggle and conflicting emotions.
And I know what they'd say
Reiteration of the impact of external opinions on the internal emotional conflict.
And I loathe that I still think of you
Reemphasizing the strong dislike for persistent thoughts about the person.
It's about all I do these days
Reaffirming the dominance of thoughts about the person in daily life.
You got me itching
Describing physical and emotional discomfort caused by the person.
You got me scratching down to the core
Expressing the intense impact of the person on the individual's core.
I miss your loving miss your touch
