Addiction
55 Escape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll take you under my skin
I'll hold you, just let me in
Addiction runs through my blood
I'll keep you

See you on the dark side!

I can remember it then
Pictures and memories
All fading and dying
Can't find my way through the night
Left here with nothing
I fall into darkness
Be alive, look alive

You are distracted

By the world outside
Be my guest, don't be shy
See you on the dark side
Broken bones, fractured líes
Feel the pain
It makes you the feel alive
Be my guest, don't be shy

See you on the dark side

I'll take you under my skin
I'll hold you
Just let me in
Addiction runs through my blood
I'll keep you

I wish you could have it too!

Lately I'll figure it out
So much corruption
I'm blinded and hazy
I can't find my way through the night
Left here with nothing
I fall into darkness
Be alive, look alive

You are distracted
By the world outside
Be my guest, don't be shy

See you on the dark side
Broken bones, fractured líes
Feel the pain
It makes you the feel alive
Be my guest, don't be shy
See you on the dark side
I'll take you under my skin
I'll hold you
Just let me in
Addiction runs through my blood
I'll keep you
I wish you could have it too!
Darkside!
Fight!
I'll take you under my skin
I'll hold you
Just let me in
Addiction runs through my blood




I'll keep you
I wish you could have it too! x2
