Junkie
Dumas Lyrics

In Dumas's song "Junkie," the lyrics depict a relationship between two individuals, one of whom is addicted to a substance. The opening lines "Je trame sur un tempo/Les airs de ton mélodrame" ("I weave on a tempo/The melody of your melodrama") suggest that the singer feels like he is caught up in the drama of the other person's addiction, and is trying to find ways to understand it. The next line "Récite les lignes d'un mythe/Vautré quelque pars dans l'underground" ("Reciting the lines of a myth/Slumped somewhere in the underground") further emphasizes the idea of a subculture or underground community that may be associated with addiction.

The chorus "À propos de ta dépendance/Ce que j'aime, ce que j'aime.../C'est que tu vis à outrance/Ta dépendance" ("About your addiction/What I like, what I like.../Is that you live excessively/Your addiction") may suggest a sense of admiration or sympathy for the person's ability to fully embrace their addiction. The lines "Tu flirtes avec l'excès, je sais/Tu es complexe, mais sans complexes/Non, la société n'nous aura pas/On a tout notre temps" ("You flirt with excess, I know/You are complex, but without complexes/No, society won't get us/We have all the time in the world") further suggest a rejection of societal norms and a sense of being untouchable by society's laws and expectations.

The closing lines "Je serais en peine de toi/J'irais squatter ton corps" ("I would be in misery without you/I would come squat in your body") suggest a co-dependence between the two individuals, where the other person's addiction has become an integral part of the singer's life. Overall, the lyrics of "Junkie" evoke a sense of both fascination and discomfort with addiction and its associated lifestyle.
