She's My Addiction
Third Realm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speak the words that make me cry, say our love will never die
Skip the days to live the nights, burn the candles, kill the lights
Soul inside reveals the need, shows the world our love will bleed
Shows the world our love will bleed
Shows the world our love will bleed
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She's better than fiction, she′s my addiction
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
And this addiction cuts like a knife, it loves to watch me bleed
Inject your life in me, tap the vein so silently
Speak the words that make me cry, say our love will never die
Skip the days to live the nights, burn the candles, kill the lights
Soul inside reveals the need, shows the world our love will bleed
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She′s better than fiction, she's my addiction
My meaning of life, my dark affliction
She's better than fiction, she′s my addiction
And this addiction cuts like a knife
It loves to watch me bleed (she′s my addiction)
And this addiction cuts like a knife
It loves to watch me bleed (she's my addiction)
(She′s my addiction)
The lyrics to Third Realm's song "She's My Addiction" depict a deep and intense obsession with a lover or significant other. The singer begs for more of their partner's "life" to be injected into them and to "tap the vein so silently". They long for their partner's words to make them cry, believing that the pain proves their love will never die. The singer wants to escape reality and "skip the days to live the nights", emphasizing their desire to be with their partner in all-consuming darkness. The lyrics suggest that this addiction is both unhealthy and irresistible: it "cuts like a knife" and loves to watch them bleed, yet it is also their "meaning of life" and "dark affliction".
Overall, the song is a poignant examination of love and obsession, exploring the thin line between passion and self-destructive behavior. The repeated refrain of "she's my addiction" emphasizes the intensity and power of the singer's emotions, while the use of violent imagery such as "burn the candles, kill the lights" suggests that they are willing to go to extreme lengths to be with their lover. The theme of bleeding and pain runs throughout the song, further emphasizing the dangerous and addictive nature of their love.
