Addiction
Medina feat. Svenstrup & Vendelboe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should I drink another drink?
See another light
I know that you may think
That I'm a broken little bird in my mind

'Cause I am here and it eats me up
Well, I love the way it feels
I really shouldn't stay
But I can't give up
The more it hurts, the more I need

It's like an addiction

Should I drink another drink?
Am I running out of time?
Confusion makes me think
This solution is beyond my sorry mind

'Cause I am here and it eats me up
Well, I love the way it feels
I really shouldn't stay
But I can't give up
The more it hurts, the more I need

It's like an addiction
And I just can't break free tonight
It's like an addiction
Am I the only one with the sad eyes?
It's like an addiction
And I just can't break free tonight
It's like an addiction
Am I the only one with the sad eyes?

I can't let go
I, I, I can't let go
I, I

It's like an addiction
And I just can't break free tonight
It's like an addiction
Am I the only one with the sad eyes
It's like an addiction
And I just can't break free tonight
It's like an addiction
Am I the only one

I can't let go




I, I, I can't let go
I, I

Overall Meaning

Svenstrup & Vendelboe's song Addiction depicts a feeling of being trapped in an addictive cycle, where the singer questions their actions while simultaneously feeling the urge to continue. The first stanza is a reflection of the singer's internal struggle, contemplating whether they should indulge in another drink or find solace in a different light. The singer is aware of the judgment they face regarding their actions and how they may be perceived as a broken individual. Despite this, the singer is unable to refrain from such behavior, and instead finds comfort in the feeling it provides. The more it hurts, the more they crave it, indicating that the singer is addicted to the feeling that their actions provide.


The second stanza sees the singer questioning their sanity as confusion takes over. The singer realizes that the solution may be outside of their control and may require help outside of their own mind. The feeling remains the same, and the singer can't break free from the cycle. The bridge repeats the metaphor of addiction, with the singer asking if they are the only one suffering from the urge to engage in these actions. The song ends with the singer pleading that they can't let go, depicting a cycle that may continue if the necessary help is not provided.
