Addiction
Mr. Vega Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

週末を跨いだ長い連休を前に
街は少し浮き足だって
行楽地を目指して渋滞が始まった
排気ガスを撒き散らして

Window に映り込んだ男は今
無表情を決め込んで自分を圧し殺してる

どんなに言い聞かせても
変われぬものがあるよ
欲しくてたまらないよ
More more more!
ほら誰かが今日も
それを持て余してるよ

上級者は誰にも感づかれぬように
上手いことやってるらしい
あちら側の自分と
ここで生きる自分を
冷静にコントロールして

そろそろ woofer に身悶えて
その衝動が今君の理性をぶち壊してく

今日は我慢出来ても
また手を出してしまうだろう
時々恐くなるよ
More more more!
さぁ内なる声に
ほら耳を澄ましてごらん

今日は我慢出来ても
また手を出してしまうだろう
決して満足なんか出来ないよ
More more more!
首を横に振ってみても
きっと拒めはしないだろう
欲しくて堪らないよ
More more more!

どんなに言い聞かせても
今日は大人しく出来ても
またすぐ欲しくなるよ
More more more!

Lalalala

Lalalala lalala
More more more!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. Vega's song "Addiction" describe the dark and all-consuming nature of addiction. The song opens with a scene of a long weekend approaching where people are trying to escape the city and head towards the scenic spots. While the city appears to be a little restless, the singer is reflective and is looking at himself in the window, with a blank expression. He is burying his true feelings, trying to suppress them, and is struggling to keep control over his addiction.

The second verse highlights the deceptive nature of addiction, as advanced addicts can mask their true behavior from others. They have mastered the art of controlling themselves and can trick people into thinking they are doing okay. The urge to satisfy the addiction grows stronger as the chorus repeats with "More more more!". The lyrics stress that even if one tries to resist or convince themselves that they don't need it, the urge will always come back. The song ends on this dark note of helplessness and repetition, with the emphasis on the addictive nature of the desire.
