Love Addict
Michael Cimino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strolled right out the door, she′s fine
How could he survive this time?
Mattress on the floor, he's cryin'
Call him Lover′s Addict
Stuck in a love habit
He lives just to have it
One time, two times, he said never again
Three times, four times, I could always quit
Poison his mind, took one too many hits
Buy him some time God, buy him some time
Lookin′ through these blinds and I don't know what′s next
Cover up these scars with that old jean jacket
Call mе Lover's Addict
Stuck in a love habit
I live just to havе it
Yeah, I′m a love addict, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to Michael Cimino's Love Addict seem to be about a person who is stuck in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships. The first verse talks about a man lying on a mattress on the floor crying, while his partner seems to be okay and has walked out the door. The lyrics suggest that this isn't the first time that this has happened, and the man is struggling to survive alone.
The chorus of the song refers to the man as a "Love Addict," someone who is stuck in a love habit and lives just to have relationships, even if they are toxic. The second verse reinforces this by saying that the man has tried to quit multiple times but keeps going back. He's taken a lot of emotional hits along the way, but he still can't break free from the cycle. The lyrics also suggest that the man is trying to hide his emotional scars behind a tough exterior, represented by covering up his scars with a jean jacket.
Overall, the song seems to be commenting on the danger of becoming too dependent on love and relationships. The repetition of phrases like "Love Addict" and "love habit" emphasizes the idea that these feelings can become all-consuming and destructive if not moderated.
