Dopamine Drop
Austin Meade Lyrics

I'm addicted to everything
I have an addiction - I want to have everything, and I will do anything to get it.

That Dopamine Drop
I live for the high of dopamine, the chemical that is released in the brain when I experience pleasure or reward.

The drugs and the money
I crave drugs and money, which are my usual sources of dopamine.

And the prime time spots
I also want to be famous and successful, as they bring me the dopamine high I crave.

I just want to be wanted
I desire attention and validation from others, as it releases dopamine and gives me a temporary high.

I want to be on top
I want to be the best and most successful, as that brings me the greatest dopamine high.

I can't control the feeling
I am addicted to dopamine, and I cannot stop seeking it, no matter how hard I try.

I'm not the kind that likes a love song
I don't like love songs and the emotions they bring, as they don't give me the dopamine high I crave.

I hate the way it makes me feel
Love makes me feel vulnerable, and I don't like that feeling.

To think of holding you closely
The idea of being intimate with someone and feeling a genuine emotional connection scares me, as it doesn't bring me the dopamine high I crave.

But I know you'll never be here
I know deep down that I will never find true love or emotional fulfillment, as I am too addicted to dopamine.

Was it all we ever wanted
Have we been chasing the wrong things, seeking temporary dopamine highs rather than true happiness?

Was it all we ever feared
Is our fear of not getting the dopamine highs we crave what has driven us to chase these things?

To change up the cycle
We need to break free from our addiction to dopamine and seek something deeper and more meaningful.

Watch comfort disappear
As we break free from our addiction, we will lose our sense of comfort and familiarity, which can be scary and uncomfortable.

Go off and leave the family
To truly break free, we may need to leave behind the people and things that have been enabling our addiction to dopamine.

A world all alone
Breaking free from our addiction may leave us feeling isolated and alone, as we adjust to a new way of life.

Just searching for something
Despite the challenges, we must continue to search for something deeper and more meaningful than the temporary dopamine highs we crave.

That feels like home
As we break free from our addiction and search for something more authentic, we must find something that feels like home and brings us a true sense of belonging.

That Dopamine Drop
Despite the challenges of breaking free, I still crave the dopamine high that has been driving me for so long.

That Dopamine Drop
I know that my addiction to dopamine has been holding me back, but it's hard to let go of the high.

I'm not the kind that likes a love song
Despite my desire to break free from my addiction, I still struggle with emotions and intimacy that don't give me the dopamine high I crave.

I hate the way it makes me feel
I fear vulnerability and emotions, as they require me to relinquish control of my addiction and open myself up to true change.

To think of holding you closely
Despite my fears, I know that deep down I want emotional connection - but I also know that it may require me to face my addiction head-on and seek help from others.

But I know you'll never be here
As much as I want emotional connection and fulfillment, I know that I cannot find it alone - I need to be willing to seek help and support from others.
