Addict
식케이 (Sik-K) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
We're high above but on the floor

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie

It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
Oh, nothing means a thing to me

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down and
Free me, see me
Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling

It is not a habit
It is cool, I feel alive, I feel
It is not a habit
It is cool, I feel alive

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie

I'm not an addict




I'm not an addict
I'm not an addict

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sik-K's song "ADDICT" delve into the complex emotions and experiences surrounding addiction. The first verse begins by emphasizing the act of inhaling and exhaling as a metaphor for addictive behavior. The line "Breathe it in and breathe it out, and pass it on, it's almost out" suggests the cyclical nature of addiction, as individuals continue to indulge and pass it on to others. The following line, "We're so creative, so much more, we're high above but on the floor," explores the paradoxical state that addiction can create. Despite feeling elevated and creative, addicts still find themselves metaphorically on the ground, trapped by their dependence.


The chorus further explores the conflicting emotions associated with addiction. Sik-K acknowledges that addiction is not simply a habit but a means to feel alive. He points out that those who do not have addiction are "on the other side," implying a sense of separation or incomprehension. However, he also questions the truth behind his assertion, admitting that claiming not to be an addict might be a lie.


In the second verse, Sik-K delves deeper into the effects of addiction. He describes that the more one injects the substance into their veins, the deeper their thoughts become, and the pain diminishes. This level of intensity and escape leads him to feel godlike and omnipresent, experiencing a heightened sense of self-worth and power.


The bridge introduces a shift in perspective. Sik-K acknowledges that the addiction has taken over and that he is now alone and cold. The line "nothing means a thing to me" suggests that the addictive behavior has stripped away any sense of meaning or significance in his life. This realization brings him face to face with the consequences of his addiction and highlights the isolated reality he finds himself in.


The final repetition of "I'm not an addict" serves as a personal mantra or self-affirmation. Sik-K may be grappling with denial or attempting to convince himself that he is not completely consumed by addiction. This repetition emphasizes the internal struggle and complexity surrounding addiction.


In conclusion, "ADDICT" offers a glimpse into the emotions and internal battles of someone grappling with addiction. The lyrics explore the paradoxical nature of addiction, the allure of feeling alive, and the eventual isolation and loss of meaning that can occur. Sik-K's introspective portrayal allows listeners to reflect on the complexities of addiction and its impact on one's sense of self.

너보다 아름다운 여자들 around
그런데 나는 관심 하나 없어
그냥 기다리고 있을래 네 연락
앞뒤가 하나도 맞지 않는 말이어도
괄호 열고 어설픈 핑계는 괄호 닫고
내 말이 맞잖아
네 마음이 날 원해
어떤 이유든지 상관없어 계속 더 해
너에게는 진짜
안 튕길 거야 나는 아냐 기타


다시 약을 한 알 poppin'
잠에 못 들어 두 알을 pop poppin'
그때 그 시간에 나는 갇힌 게 확실해
세 번째 I gotta stop it
너만 있었다면 해결되지
추억들로 다시 rehabbin’
나는 addicted to your love


나는 addicted to your love


나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love


너보다 아름다운 여자 two
두 번째 말고 사람 수
시간은 새벽 둘하고 이십 음 분쯤
만났단 게 아니야
정말로 딴 게 아니라
문자 몇 통이 다야 TMI
And I'm watchin’ the clock
다시 네 생각이 나기 때문에


다시 약을 한 알 poppin'
잠에 못 들어 두 알을 pop poppin'
그 때 그 시간에 나는 갇힌게 확실해
세번째 I gotta stop it
너만 있었다면 해결되지
추억들로 다시 rehabbin’
나는 addicted to your love


나는 addicted to your love
나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love


At first time, 그래 그때 first time
다시 그때 처음 날 만났을 때 더운 날
넌 이미 내 것만 같았는데 정말
we felt that way
설마 지금 너도 그때의 섬광 같았던 찰나를
느꼈다면 아마 내가 딱 거기 쩔어 살아


나는 addicted to your love
나는 addicted to your love
나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love
addict
나는 addict
나는 addicted to your love
