Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my addiction, woah
I feel you runnin' through my veins
And babe I just can't get enough
I need another hit of your lovin'
See I just can't give you up
You keep my heart alive
Gotta have you like a habit baby
I need you to survive
Girl you're my addiction, yeah
Girl I love the way you feel
You're my addiction, yeah
See I know this love is real
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
I need you in my blood supply
Cause my heart won't work no more
Feels like I'm about to die
And you're my only cure
See I need you, like an addict baby
You keep my heart alive
Gotta have you like a habit baby
I need you to survive
Girl you're my addiction, yeah
Girl I love the way you feel
You're my addiction, yeah
See I know this love is real
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Girl you're my addiction, yeah
Girl I love the way you feel
You're my addiction, yeah
See I know this love is real
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, say whoa, yeah
Say whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to Dean Raven's "Addiction" are about being addicted to someone that the singer is in love with. He describes the feeling of needing this person like an addict needs a drug, unable to give them up because they keep his heart alive. He says he feels this person running through his veins and that he needs another hit of their love. He even goes as far as to say that without this person, his heart would not work anymore and he would die. This song is a metaphor for how love can become an addiction, something that you crave and need to feel complete.
Throughout the song, the chorus is repeated multiple times with the phrase "say whoa" in between. This phrase is a way to emphasize the feelings that the singer is experiencing. The repetition and simplicity of the lyrics make the song easy to remember and sing along to. The overall message of "Addiction" is that love can be just as addictive as a drug, and that the singer is hopelessly in love with the person who has become his addiction.
