Addict
U.N.S.I.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're looking different since the last time that I saw you
Well could it be because you're old, weak, and dead
The rotten stench of money, sins, and power
Leaves me dizzy in my head through the night
Well have you learned your lesson or are you addicted
It's the wicked stains of your past that show
But I don't mind
So lay me down
And there I'll rest
You're looking different since the last time that I saw you
Well could it be because you're old, weak, and dead
The rotten stench of money, sins, and power
Leaves me dizzy in my head through the night
Well have you learned your lesson or are you addicted
Well it's the wicked stains of your past that show
But I don't mind
You're the addict
You're the addict
So lay me down
I'm the addict
I'm the addict
And there I'll rest
You're the addict
You're the addict
I'm the addict
I'm the addict
You're the addict
You're the addict
I'm the addict
I'm the addict
You're the addict
You're the addict




But I don't mind
So lay me down

Overall Meaning

The song "Addict" by U.N.S.I.N. is about the struggles of addiction and the search for something to hold onto in the midst of it. The lyrics begin with the singer acknowledging that they haven't been the best son and that they've been struggling in the "desert of [their] mind." They haven't found any "life" or "water," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the satisfaction and joy that addiction can't provide.


The chorus uses the image of holding water in the palm of the hand, which represents the temporary and elusive nature of satisfaction and fulfillment in addiction. The singer is aware that addiction is an obsession that will ultimately drain them of what they are holding onto.


The second verse presents the singer as a "walking denial," someone who is addicted to the "wind" and being blown back and forth by their addiction. They are aware that they are in denial and lying to themselves about their addiction, but they can't help but continue down the path of self-destruction. The bridge then brings in religious imagery, with the singer calling out to their "father" to wash them with "water." This is a plea for spiritual cleansing and the hope for redemption from addiction.


Overall, "Addict" is a powerful representation of the struggle with addiction and the desire for something more substantial in life.
