My Addiction
Semtex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With this end in view
I am what
Don’t want
to be
because
this is
my addiction my downfall
save me from myself
take me back home
Screaming out the curse of life
That I love my addiction in me
To lift this curse of life forever
I’m beating the daylights out of me
Caught in myself, I want to break out
With this end in view
I would get
Salvation
For myself
My rise
out of
this curse
I hate myself for
I can’t tolerate anymore
In Semtex's song "My Addiction," the lyrics express the struggles of fighting against one's own addictive tendencies. The singer is immersed in their addiction, acknowledging that they are on a path towards destruction. They see the "falls" ahead of them and they are "floating down," helpless to the pull of their addiction. They long for salvation from themselves and to break free from their curse. However, they acknowledge that their addiction is a part of them and that they love it despite the damage it brings. The chorus begs for someone to save them from themselves and take them back home.
The lyrics display a sense of acceptance and frustration at the same time. The singer is aware of the harm their addiction brings but cannot seem to break free from it. They understand that the only way to achieve salvation is by breaking through themselves and overcoming their addiction. The phrase "beating the daylights out of me" illustrates the pain and struggle involved in shedding one's addictive tendencies. The song acknowledges the struggles that come with addiction and the difficulty of seeking help.
