Addict
Jack and Jill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll tell you what you mean next time
Your visceral pleasures are out of time
Your visceral pleasures rub me just fine
You say whatever's on your mind
Tell you what you mean next time
Your visceral pleasures jibe with mine
I'd love you to be addicted to me
I'd love you to be addicted to me
Addict!
Addict, addict, addict!
In Jack and Jill's song "Addict," the artist is describing a desire for someone to become addicted to them. The opening lines, "You say whatever's on your mind, you'll tell you what you mean next time," suggest that this person is open and honest, but maybe not always clear with their intentions. The artist is drawn to this aspect of their personality, even if it doesn't always make sense to them. The next lines, "Your visceral pleasures are out of time, your visceral pleasures rub me just fine," could be interpreted as the artist appreciating this person's out-of-the-box thinking and unique perspective on pleasure, even if it is not what they are used to. The repetition of "visceral pleasures" emphasizes the intense physical desire they have for this person.
The chorus of "Addict" is where the artist's longing becomes most clear: "I'd love you to be addicted to me, Addict!" The repetition of "addict" hammers home the idea that they want this person to become obsessed with them. It's interesting to note that the artist is not themselves saying that they are addicted to the person - rather, they want to be the object of someone else's addiction. This could suggest a desire for power or control, or perhaps just a deep need for validation and attention. Overall, "Addict" paints a picture of a complex relationship dynamic, with one person hoping to become the sole focus of the other's attention and desire.
