Nicotine Fit
Voodoo Glow Skulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Voodoo Glow Skulls' song "Nicotine Fit" is a commentary on addiction and the desperation that can come with it. The lyrics describe a person who wakes up in the morning after a restless night, feeling like everything had gone wrong. Their mind is in turmoil and they have a pounding headache. The only thing that could ease their pain is a cigarette. The craving is so strong that they will scrounge for change or hitchhike to get their nicotine fix. The song also references memories of sneaking cigarettes as a child and the idea that addiction can make a person act like an "asshole" until they have that craving satisfied.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is consumed by their addiction, willing to go to great lengths to get a fix. The urgency in the singer's voice highlights the seriousness of addiction and its impact on the individual's daily life. The repetition of the phrase "nicotine fit" reinforces the idea that addiction is not a one-time occurrence but rather a continuous struggle that can take over a person's life.

wake up in the morning
You begin your day after a restless night's sleep
tossing and turning all night
You were unable to fall asleep and kept shifting throughout the night
your mind is shaking, feeling nothing went right
You feel anxious and unsettled, thinking that yesterday was a terrible day
your mind is pulsing and your eyes are blood red
Your thoughts are racing and your eyes are red due to lack of sleep and stress
there's one thing that i know can cure your aching head
You believe that smoking a cigarette will alleviate your headache

If you need money for cigarettes, you'll start scrounging for change
and if you can't find a ride- you'll get there any way
If you are unable to get a ride to buy cigarettes, you will find any means necessary to get there
when you were just a little kid- you thought that you'd be sneaky- hiding with your friends- sneaking a smoke as your parent's drove away
When you were young, you thought smoking was an illicit activity and you would secretly smoke with your friends when your parents weren't looking

You justify your smoking habit despite its negative effects by thinking that rebelling and acting rude is a worthwhile trade-off for the immediate gratification of smoking

You are experiencing strong cravings and frustration that you cannot resist smoking
nicotine fit you haven't had a cigarette yet
Your cravings are escalating and you haven't smoked in a while
