Addiction
The Betrayed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And uncovered a hunger you can't satisfy
Now you're lost in a haze, you just can't see
That a fucking substance won't set you free
Keep your drugs and alcohol I don't need them
No, no
I said I don't need them
We said we don't need them
Just try to see yourself through these eyes man
You're letting addiction get the best of you
So just catch a breath and try to make it through
Night after night I see you banging your head against the same fucking wall

Line by Line Meaning
You pushed too hard, you crossed the line
You went too far and exceeded boundaries
And uncovered a hunger you can't satisfy
You discovered a craving that cannot be fulfilled
Now you're lost in a haze, you just can't see
You are confused and unable to distinguish reality from fantasy
That a fucking substance won't set you free
Using drugs or alcohol won't liberate you from your problems
Keep your drugs and alcohol I don't need them
I refuse to consume drugs or alcohol
No, no
Absolutely not
I said I don't need them
I am emphatic that I do not require drugs or alcohol
We said we don't need them
We collectively refuse to partake in substance use
You're losing respect, you're wasting your life
You are diminishing your dignity and frittering away your existence
Just try to see yourself through these eyes man
Consider how you appear to others in your current state
You're letting addiction get the best of you
Your dependency is overpowering and controlling you
So just catch a breath and try to make it through
Take a moment to regroup and endure the difficulties
Night after night I see you banging your head against the same fucking wall
Repeatedly attempting something that cannot be accomplished is futile and self-destructive
