Addiction
Kill the Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to find my addiction
I need a break from restrictions
Can't tell the fact from the fiction
Just watch the lack of conviction

Lifestyle the new constitution
Fashioned the new persecution
Last place is gone on the lifeboat
Sold for a drink to a cut-throat

Find myself a brand new place to go
Define myself some brand new words to know
Find myself some brand new place to go
Find myself a brand new place to go

I need to find my addicition
I need a break from restictions
Won't buy the new-age solutions
Dressed up as new revolution

Much like the old school religions
Re-live the old contradictions
Last seat reserved for the victor
Nice view from all of the windows

Find myself a brand new place to go
Define myself some brand new words to know
Find myself some brand new place to go
Find myself a brand new place to go

Find myself a brand new place to go
Define myself some brand new words to know




Find myself, design myself, refine, resign, define myself
Find myself a brand new place to go

The song's title, "Addiction," can be seen as a metaphor for the human need for purpose and belonging. The singer is searching for something to give them meaning and direction. Ultimately, the song suggests that the singer will need to create their own identity, rather than relying on others or outside sources for it.
