Afflicted
Age Of Daze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With all these feelings inside
You're much too good for this life
And all the pain that you hide
I want to take you away
Wipe the tears from your eyes
But all that stands in the way is
That you don't realize
Why I
I am addicted, addicted to you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you
I am afflicted, afflicted by you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of
You you
You you
I want you so bad tonight
That I can almost taste it
I want to take you away
Wipe the tears from your eyes
But all that stands in the way is
That you don't realize
Why I
I am addicted, addicted to you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you
I am afflicted, afflicted by you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
And when it all comes crashing down
Will you still love it
And if tomorrow never comes
At least I had it
I am addicted addicted to you
I'm addicted
I can't get enough of you
I can't get enough of you
I am addicted, addicted to you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you
I am afflicted, afflicted by you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of
You you
You you
The lyrics to Age Of Daze's song "Afflicted" speak to the power of addiction. The singer of the song is consumed by their feelings for someone else and unable to resist the pull toward them. They see this person as being too good for their life and envision taking them away from their pain. However, the obstacle to achieving this is that the person doesn't realize why the singer is so driven to be with them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the addictive nature of the singer's feelings. They describe themselves as being "addicted" and "afflicted" by this other person, comparing their feelings to a bad pill or sick thrill that they can't resist. The repetition of the phrase "I can't get enough of you" reinforces the idea that the singer is entirely consumed by their desire for this person.
The bridge of the song takes a slightly different tone, asking whether this relationship will still be desirable even in the face of hardship. The singer wonders if their feelings will persist "when it all comes crashing down" and whether they will be able to hold onto this love even if the future is uncertain. Ultimately, however, the pull of addiction is too strong and the chorus repeats again, closing out the song with the declaration that the singer is "addicted" and "afflicted" by this person.

I love this song... I'm not usually into this kind of music... but the lyrics are sotouching, almost. Like that he really likes a girl. But he can't tell her or something. He wants her to now he cares but he can't tell her... It explains something that's happening to a friend of mine. I hope he talks to her.
