Candy
Grey Cell Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to have it
First thing in the morning
I can't kick the habit
Take just a bite
Try just a taste
Just enough to satisfy
But, don't let it go to waste
I don't know why...
Something inside me has changed
I don't know why...
I feel it coursing through my veins
I don't know why...
Slowly driving me insane
I don't know why...
But i know i'll never be the same
You can feel it
You can taste it
You can love it
You can hate it
You despise it
Or embrace it
Always have it
Never waste it
You can listen
Or ignore it
You command
Or you can follow
You can break new ground
Explore it
You can spit
Or you can swallow
There's something about it
That seems so appealing
Without it happening
It just leaves you reeling
Nothing that i know
Resembles the feeling
Like one piece of candy
As i hang from the ceiling
Something inside me has changed
I don't know why...
Feel it coursing through my veins
I don't know why...
Slowly driving me insane
I don't know why...
I know i'll never be the same
The lyrics to Grey Cell Green's song "Candy" express a powerful craving for something that the singer both loves and hates. The song opens with the declaration, "I want some candy, I've got to have it, first thing in the morning, I can't kick the habit." The addiction is portrayed as insatiable and uncontrollable, with the singer pleading to "take just a bite" and "try just a taste" in order to satisfy the craving. However, the warning "don't let it go to waste" suggests that the pleasure found in the candy is ultimately fleeting and not worth the long-term consequences of addiction.
The chorus of the song highlights the singer's confusion and lack of understanding about their own addiction. "I don't know why, something inside me has changed...I feel it coursing through my veins...slowly driving me insane...but I know I'll never be the same." The contrast between the pleasure and the pain of addiction is clear, with the singer describing a feeling of being trapped and powerless to resist. The final verse of the song suggests that there is something "about it" that is "so appealing," even as it leaves the singer "reeling" and feeling like they are "hanging from the ceiling."
Overall, "Candy" is a powerful portrayal of addiction and the internal struggle of those who are caught in its grip. The emotions expressed in the song are both desperate and conflicted, as the singer tries to understand why they are drawn to something that they know is causing them harm. Despite the deep sense of vulnerability and confusion, the song also contains a glimmer of hope, as the singer confronts their addiction and acknowledges the need for change.
