Addiction
Pig & Dan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the bloody lovers
She’s my best addiction
She lives undercover on (under) the skin of time.

The morphine’s sister
and the translucent beetle
eat the lonely Winter.
Now they demand wine.

Small cake of silence
for the ravenous teeth of madness;
yes, it’s you.

I see dusty flowers
through my tarred window.
It’s the voices
that speak behind my back.

Small cake of silence

for the ravenous teeth of madness;
yes, it’s you.

Overall Meaning

The first line of the lyrics “We are the bloody lovers” sets the tone for the song. It implies a relationship that is intense and passionate, but also dangerous and potentially harmful. The second line, “She’s my best addiction” implies that the relationship is addictive and that the singer cannot live without it.

The third line “She lives undercover on (under) the skin of time” suggests that the relationship exists outside of the constraints of time and is eternal. The next two lines “The morphine’s sister and the translucent beetle eat the lonely winter. Now they demand wine.” are more abstract, but appear to describe the singer’s emotional state. The imagery of the morphine’s sister and the translucent beetle may represent the singer’s addiction and the consuming nature of their relationship.

The repetition of “Small cake of silence for the ravenous teeth of madness; yes, it’s you” throughout the song is a plea for peace and tranquility from the chaos and madness of the relationship. The final lines of the song “I see dusty flowers through my tarred window. It’s the voices that speak behind my back.” hint at the singer’s paranoia and perhaps a sense of isolation from others who cannot understand their intense bond. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of intensity, danger, addiction, and emotional turmoil.
