Suckerphilia
Descartes A Kant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from my affair with narcotics
It's an abuse of analgesic help
It's an abuse of analgesic help
I am a love constipator
It is a damage controller
'Cause I was getting better
With my painkiller system
And my anti-you narcotics
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're my world, world adulterator
Hey you! Give me a lick
The loveliest uncurable, uncurable lick
Hey you! Give me a kiss
A dangerous contagious and meaningless kiss
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're my world, world adulterator
Sucker-psycho-wacko-philia-compulsive-analgesic-philia
Sucker-psycho-wacko-philia...
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're my world, world adulterator
Hey you! Give me a lick
The loveliest uncurable, uncurable lick
Hey you! Give me a kiss
A dangerous contagious and meaningless kiss
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're the worst, worst adulterator
You're my world, world adulterator
And my lo-fi fragile fractions are asking:
"Do you think this sounds a bit romantic?"
If you give me a kiss that means nothing at all,
then I will write you a song that means nothing at all
And my lo-fi fragile fractions are asking:
"Do you think this sounds a bit romantic?"
If you give me a kiss that means nothing at all,
then I will write you a song that means nothing at all
And my lo-fi fragile fractions are asking:
"Do you think this sounds a bit romantic?"
If you give me a kiss that means nothing at all,
then I will write you a song that means nothing at all
(Ah-ah)
The song "Suckerphilia" by Descartes A Kant deals with the theme of addiction, particularly to opioids. The lyrics state that the singer has just recovered from their affair with narcotics, which they describe as an abuse of analgesic help. The song also touches on themes of love, infidelity, and desperation.
The singer refers to themselves as a "love constipator," meaning that they struggle to express their emotions and hold back from forming connections with others. They describe their recovery process at an "alternative treatment center" where they were using painkillers and anti-you narcotics. However, the singer still feels the pull of their addiction and addresses their partner as both the "worst adulterator" and their "world adulterator."
The chorus repeats the phrase "you're the worst, worst adulterator" while the bridge lists a string of seemingly nonsensical words such as "sucker-psycho-wacko-philia-compulsive-analgesic-philia." The repetition and use of such language serve to reinforce the addictive nature of the singer's relationships.
The repeated plea for a "lick" and a "kiss" from the partner demonstrates the singer's desperation for a fix, whether it be the rush of drugs or the fleeting thrill of infidelity. The singer recognizes that their actions may not be rational or healthy but cannot resist the allure of their vices.
Overall, the song effectively captures the cyclical and self-destructive nature of addiction and the damage it can cause to one's relationships.
