Addicting Life Waste
EXARSIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Corrupting your mind a needle piercing your vein
Heart rate increases as the injection drains
Your head is pounding
SLOWLY life drains away
Cold sweat covers my body
As I feel my brain decay
ADDICTING LIFE WASTE
Addicting life waste
Stimulant sedative hypnotic drugs
I'LL TAKE THEM ALL
I follow my addiction's call
By what my body can take
Until there is no more
SLOWLY life drains away
Cold sweat covers my body
As I feel my brain decay
ADDICTING LIFE WASTE
Addicting life waste
Senses numb from great abuse
Life gave you the right to choose
To keep your ties with consciousness
Or forever drain away
Never trust
The needle's lies
LETHAL INJECTION TO YOUR MINDS
A shot that runs through your veins alive
WASTES YOUR LIFE IN PAIN
Slowly life drains away
Cold sweat covers my body
As I feel my brain decay
ADDICTING LIFE WASTE
Addicting life waste
The song "Addicting Life Waste" by Exarsis talks about drug addiction and the devastating effects it has on a person's mind and body. The opening lines "It's the magic chemistry relieving the pain, corrupting your mind a needle piercing your vein" vividly describe how drugs can give temporary relief to physical or emotional pain, but also can cause an addiction that slowly destroys a person's body and mind. The chorus "Addicting life waste" highlights the tragic waste of life that results from drug addiction.
The lyrics also touch on the powerful hold drugs can have on a person, with lines like "I'll take them all, I follow my addiction's call, by what my body can take until there is no more". The bridge "Never trust the needle's lies, lethal injection to your minds, a shot that runs through your veins alive, wastes your life in pain" warns listeners about the false promises of drugs and the pain and suffering they can bring.
