Adicción
Johnny Burning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de nombre tentación, sin presentarse disparó y aquello confundió y te robó la calma
Con tu sangre tatuaré tus deseos en mi piel
nadie los borrará, nadie los quitará
será el marchamo que use, y dame
adicción, maldición, perdición
De este gran buque a la deriva
Te haré el favor, sólo porque eres tú y ya nunca más tú Perderás la cama
Con tu sangre tatuaré tus deseos en mi piel
Nadie los borrará, nadie los quitará
Será el marchamo que use, y dame
Adicción, maldición, perdición
No nos queda más que hablar
No hay dinero para pagar tus sueños, caprichos, tus risas
De nombre adicción, sin presentarse disparó y aquello Confundió y te robó la cama
Con tu sangre tatuaré tus deseos en mi piel
Nadie los borrará, nadie los quitará
Será el marchamo que use, y dame
Adicción, maldición, perdición
The lyrics of Johnny Burning's song "Adicción" delve into the theme of addiction and its destructive impact on an individual's life. The opening lines describe how addiction has taken hold within the person's mind and soul, becoming a constant temptation that disrupts their peace and steals their sense of calm. The metaphor of temptation as a nameless force that suddenly appears and confuses the individual sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the permanence and intensity of the addiction, portraying it as something that will be etched into the person's very being like a tattoo. The repetition of the lines "Nobody will erase them, nobody will remove them" reinforces the idea that once addiction takes hold, it becomes an inescapable part of one's identity. The repeated phrases "addiction, curse, damnation" further highlight the all-consuming nature of the addiction and the negative consequences it brings.
The lyrics take a darker turn as the singer offers to take control of the situation, steering the ship of the person's life that is adrift due to their addiction. There is a sense of manipulation and control in these lines, with the singer claiming to do the individual a favor only because of their relationship or connection. The imagery of losing control and being at the mercy of the addiction is powerful and evocative, painting a bleak picture of a life consumed by destructive behavior.
In the final verse, the lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of the harsh reality of addiction. There is a recognition that there is no easy way out, and no amount of money or material possessions can fill the void left by the addiction. The repetition of the lines about tattooing desires with blood and receiving addiction, curse, damnation as a seal underscores the inescapable nature of addiction and its lasting impact on the person's life. The song ends with a somber reflection on the destructive force of addiction and the inability to break free from its grip.
