Addict
Louis Baker Lyrics

What's the meaning of this game
The singer is asking what the purpose of the situation is

I've got no one else to blame
The singer acknowledges that they are responsible for the situation they are in

'Cause I'm an addict baby
The reason the singer is in this situation is because they are addicted to something

I'm an addict baby
Reinforcing that the singer is indeed an addict

I've got panic on my face
The singer's anxiety is physically visible

I've got acid in my veins
The singer feels like they have a burning sensation inside of them

I give and give and give
The singer is putting in a lot of effort

But you give me no return
The person they are referring to is not providing the singer with what they need

And the truth is I'm in flames
The singer is suffering emotionally

But I really like the burn
Despite the pain, the singer is drawn to the situation

So I'll give and give and give
The singer will continue to put in effort

And if I can't get no return
If the person they're addressing still won't provide what they need

Then I'll never be satisfied
The singer will always feel unfulfilled

I need your love again
The singer is asking for love

'Cause I'm an addict for your love
This is the addiction the singer is referring to

No more hiding my pain
The singer is tired of hiding their emotional pain

'Cause I'm an addict for your love
Reiterating the addiction to this person's love

Feels like I'm
The singer describes their current state

Living in a shadow like
The singer feels like they are being overlooked

O you got me seeing blind
The emotions are overwhelming the singer to the point where they cannot see clearly

Holding onto every high
The singer is holding onto any positive moments

'Cause this fever's got me got me
The addiction is likened to a fever, a sickness

Questioning my state of mind
The singer is unsure about their own mental state

Questioning my alibi
The singer is unsure about the reason they give themselves for their behavior

Nothing left to hold me I'm an addict
The addiction has taken over

O I'm an addict baby
A final acknowledgment of the singer's addiction

I've been here o so long
The singer has been in this state for a while

Suffering through my withdrawals
The singer is experiencing the negative effects of trying to quit the addiction

I'm still in panic baby
The anxiety has not gone away

I'm so tired of being alone
The singer is tired of feeling lonely

And my body has lost it's soul
The singer's emotions have taken a toll on them

I'm still an addict baby
Despite the negative effects, the singer is still addicted

I'm an addict
Repeating that the singer is an addict

I'm an addict
Continuing the repetition

I'm an addict
One more repetition for emphasis

I'm an addict
The final repetition

I need your love again
Repeating the plea for love

'Cause I'm an addict for your love
Reiterating the addiction

No more hiding my pain
Another declaration that the singer won't hide their pain

'Cause I'm an addict for your love
The addiction is still present

Feels like I'm
Repeating the description of their current state

Living in a shadow like
Continuing the same feeling of being overlooked

O you got me seeing blind
The emotions are still overwhelming

Holding onto every high
They are still trying to hold onto positive moments

'Cause this fever's got me got me
Repeating the likening of the addiction to a fever

Questioning my state of mind
Continuing the uncertainty about their mental state

Questioning my alibi
The same uncertainty about their own reasons and behavior

Nothing left to hold me I'm an addict
Repeating the idea that the addiction has taken over

O I'm an addict baby
Another repetition of the acknowledgment of being an addict
