"Cane Shuga" by Glass Animals is a song exploring the addiction and lifestyle of someone who is heavily involved with drugs. The opening lines, "Baby, don't go / I'll stop breathing coke / No more bloody nose / No more John Does," highlight the singer's plea to their partner not to leave them as they swear to make an effort to give up their drug habit. The repetition of "steamrolled hair, look into the glare and pop it brother / slick like 007 man / you fly like Kim Jong rockets" emphasizes the glitz and glamour that the drug dealer offers, enticing the singer to continue using. The line "burn through my love / just like your drugs / I've had quite enough / or lack thereof" suggests that the singer's love for their partner is being overshadowed by their addiction and they are becoming exhausted with the constant cycle of drug abuse.
The repetitive nature of the song's lyrics and beat mimics the cyclical nature of addiction, even as the singer tries to break free. The references to James Bond and Kim Jong-un symbolize the power and allure of the drug dealer, who seemingly holds all the cards in the addicted person's life. The chorus of "steamrolled hair, look into the glare and pop it brother / slick like 007 man / you fly like Kim Jong rockets" can be seen as a mantra, with the singer almost hypnotized by the drug dealer's charm.
