Addiction
Lady Zamar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, I'm ready, I'm ready
An addiction taking control

The savage heart beats a naked drum
Drums lay over a blue fire
My diamond heart is pure and refined
You take away my desires
Mesmerize, they've hunted you down

Shifting around from the stump and I cry
Destruction's near you, fear from within
I'll praise you with feelings
I know what's within

An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't, don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
And I don't know
I don't know if you know
I don't know if you know
I don't know if you know
I don't know if you know

Feel my lying lights
I'm your nectar and you are mine
Directing the score
We keep, we keep count
To see who earns the most
We may not borrow
It's time to take the screen
We've seen and read the script
It's our moment to shine, oh

An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't, don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
And I don't know
I don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't, don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't know
I don't know if you know

For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to

An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't, don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't know
I don't know if you know

For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to
For you, I'll do
Anything you ask me to

An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control
I don't, don't know if you know
An addiction taking control
An addiction taking control

I don't know
I don't know if you know

Ooh, I'm ready, I'm ready
I am eager and prepared for what's to come

An addiction taking control
I am being consumed by a passionate desire

The savage heart beats a naked drum
My heart beats with raw intensity

Drums lay over a blue fire
The music ignites a powerful energy within me

My diamond heart is pure and refined
My heart is precious and strong

You take away my desires
Only you have the power to quell my cravings

Mesmerize, they've hunted you down
You are captivating, but others have also tried to pursue you

Shifting around from the stump and I cry
I am lost and confused, feeling hopeless

Destruction's near you, fear from within
You are in danger and fear is consuming you

I'll praise you with feelings
I will express my affection for you with genuine emotion

I know what's within
I understand your true nature and character

An addiction taking control
I am being consumed by a passionate desire

I don't, don't know if you know
I am unsure if you are aware of the hold you have on me

Feel my lying lights
Experience the deceptive and fleeting nature of my attention

I'm your nectar and you are mine
We are each other's addictive pleasure

Directing the score
Taking charge of our passionate, addictive relationship

We keep, we keep count
We measure and track the intensity of our love

To see who earns the most
To determine who is more committed in our relationship

We may not borrow
We cannot rely on others to fulfill our addiction

It's time to take the screen
It's time to show the world our addictive love

We've seen and read the script
We know our roles and what we must do in our addictive relationship

It's our moment to shine, oh
This is our time to revel in our addictive passion

For you, I'll do anything you ask me to
I am willing to fulfill any request you make, no matter the cost

An addiction taking control
I am being consumed by a passionate desire

I don't know if you know
I am unsure if you are aware of the hold you have on me
