are as strong as you can expect for a band that delivers 100 percent at every gig, regardless of what.
It's time to Kill the Silence.

My Dear Addiction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tear me up
But couldn't break me down
I can remember
The lies you spit in my face
So here I am
Look at you now
Don't you know
I made it
"What goes around comes around"
I gaze at your life, and I see a shattered soul
What's lost inside of you?
Is there a secret that you keep?
I hope your mind
Will turn from dark into white
Do you like that?
You like that?
That I care when you just left me there?
My time is here
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
Sacrifice yourself to bring back the fire in your eyes
Save yourself from the nothing you become
I know your mind
Will turn from black into white
Do you like that?
You like that?
That I care when you just left me there?
Look inside and there you'll see
Among the scars a part of me
Never alone when you are facing your fears
I was the one that brought you here
The lyrics to My Dear Addiction's song Addiction explore themes of resilience and forgiveness. The song begins by acknowledging the damage that someone has inflicted upon the singer, but also highlights the singer's strength in not succumbing to that harm. Despite the lies that were told to them, the singer is still standing and defiantly declares that they will not be broken. The second verse shifts to examining the person who caused the harm, and questioning what secrets they might be hiding. The chorus returns to the singer's personal strength, and the bridge offers a plea for the other person to also seek help and redemption.
The song is ultimately a message of hope, as it suggests that even in the face of addiction and trauma, people can still find their way back to happiness and self-love. Additionally, the song acknowledges the power of empathy and forgiveness, even towards those who have hurt us. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that we are all stronger than we might believe, and that healing is possible.
