Addicted to Love
Alex & Sierra Brasil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
You like to think that you're immune to the stuff... oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Ohh oohh
You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Ohh oohh
You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
The lyrics of Addicted to Love by Alex & Sierra Brasil revolves around the feelings of being obsessed with love. It portrays how one's mind, heart, and body can get captivated by the mere thought of love. The lines "Your lights are on, but you're not home, Your mind is not your own" indicate that the person is physically present, but mentally they are elsewhere, possibly thinking about the object of their desire. The lyrics further explain how the person's addiction to love affects their everyday life; they are unable to sleep, eat, or breathe properly. The addiction is overpowering, and another kiss is all they want and need to satisfy the craving.
The chorus "You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, You know you're gonna have to face it, You're addicted to love" represents the realization of being addicted to love. It means that even if one tries to deny or ignore the addiction, it will catch up eventually. The lyrics "You see the signs, but you can't read, You're runnin' at a different speed" mean that the person can sense something happening, but they can't accurately understand or control their emotional response to it. They're running at a different pace, and they can't be saved from their desires.
Overall, the song portrays love addiction as a severe and powerful emotion that one can't ignore or control. It talks about how the obsession with love can take over one's life, leaving them with no peace and leading them down a path of self-destruction.
