Addict
Terranova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I act the fool
That's why I have this?
To make the lady drew (?)
That's why I have to throw (?)
To show that I am down
That's why I have to soak
I swear I have to fuck
It hurts to be cool
It started back at school
I had to be the best
Better than the rest
I never would get picked
Now I make them feel like shit
Show them they all suck
Man, I really need a fuck
It hurts to be cool
It started back at school
I had to be the best
Better than the rest
I never would get picked
Now I make them feel like shit
Show them they all suck
Man, I really need a fuck
The song "Addict" by Terranova explores the theme of the pressure to conform to social norms and stereotypes, and the emotional pain that individuals can experience in trying to fit in. The lyrics express the idea that being cool is not easy, and involves sacrificing authenticity and putting on a façade to impress others. The opening lines, "It hurts to be cool, that's why I act the fool" suggest that the singer is aware of the emotional cost of their behaviors, but feels that they have no other choice. The line "That's why I have this? To make the lady drew" indicates that the singer may be using drugs or alcohol to impress others.
The second verse explores the singer's past experiences of rejection and feelings of inferiority. The lines "I never would get picked, now I make them feel like shit" indicate that the singer has developed a sense of superiority and may be using their coolness to make others feel inferior. The repetition of the final line, "Man, I really need a fuck", emphasizes the physical and emotional desperation of the singer.

It hurts to be cool
Being cool comes with a price
That's why I act the fool
I pretend to be foolish to hide the pain of trying to be cool
That's why I have this?
I use this fake persona to fit in
To make the lady drew (?)
I try to attract women with my persona
That's why I have to throw (?)
I have to put on a show to be accepted in this group
To show that I am down
I have to demonstrate my loyalty to the group
That's why I have to soak
I have to indulge in drugs to maintain this persona and fit in
I swear I have to fuck
I feel like I need to have sex to prove my worth and masculinity
It started back at school
This need to be cool began in my childhood
I had to be the best
I had to be better than others to gain acceptance
Better than the rest
I had to be superior to stand out
I never would get picked
I was never chosen or accepted by others
Now I make them feel like shit
I get to seek revenge by putting others down now
Show them they all suck
I want to show them that they are inferior to me now
Man, I really need a fuck
I feel incomplete and insecure, and sex is a way to satisfy myself
