Strangelove Addiction
Embracing a Strangelove Addiction
Lyrics
I must resist the thought you kissed
I resist the idea that you kissed
The truth you've somehow turned around
The truth has been twisted or distorted by you
I must resist your soft warm fist
I resist the warmth and gentleness of your touch
The pounding of a lonely sound
A feeling of loneliness expressed through a pounding sound
You as thin as rain
A metaphorical description of the person being as thin as rain
And me
Speaker
I wear my heart
The speaker metaphorically wears their heart prominently, possibly indicating vulnerability
Like a red stain
A metaphorical representation of emotional pain or regret
I fear that I am not enough for you
Fear of inadequacy and not meeting the other person's expectations
I just don't measure up
Feelings of not being good enough or falling short
I fear this constant condition
Fear of an ongoing, unchanging situation
My strange strangelove addiction
The speaker acknowledges an unusual or unconventional addiction to a strange form of love
Strange
Repetition emphasizing the theme of a strange, addictive love
Strangelove addiction
-Strange
-Strangelove addiction
-Strange
-Strangelove addiction
-Strange
-I must deny the lullabye
The speaker decides to reject a comforting song or gesture
The skin the touch that makes me high
The physical sensations that bring pleasure and excitement
I must deny not knowing why
Choosing to deny knowledge of why the truth has left the speaker speechless
The truth has left me dumb tongue-tied
The truth has rendered the speaker unable to speak
You don't feel my pain
Recognition that the other person does not feel the speaker's pain
And me, I wear my heart
The speaker continues to wear their heart prominently
Like a red stain
Repetition of emotional pain or regret
I fear that I am not enough for you
Continued fear of inadequacy and not measuring up
I just don't measure up
Reiteration of not meeting the other person's expectations
I fear this constant condition
Reiteration of fear of an ongoing, unchanging situation
My strange strangelove addiction
Repetition of the acknowledgment of a strange, addictive love
Strange
Repetition emphasizing the theme of a strange, addictive love
Strangelove addiction
-Strange
-Strangelove addiction
-Strange
-Strangelove addiction
-Strange, strange strange
Repetition of the word "strange" for emphasis
I fear I am not enough
Fear of not being enough and not measuring up
I don't measure up
Reiteration of feelings of inadequacy
I fear this constant condition
Reiteration of fear of an ongoing, unchanging situation
My strange strangelove addiction
Final acknowledgment of the unusual or unconventional addiction to a strange form of love
Strange
Repetition emphasizing the theme of a strange, addictive love
Strangelove addiction ...
