Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
one you can't get enough
you make me feel so tough
i need you all the time
i wanna make you mine
i keep going back to this fucking addiction
modeled in the image of you
watching as my dreams run and melt
only you knew just how it felt
i keep going back to this fucking addiction
The song "I am a Drug" by Warmer is an intriguing look into the concept of addiction. The singer seems to personify themselves as a drug, a substance that the listener cannot get enough of. They describe the way the drug (themselves) makes the listener feel "tough" and how they constantly crave it. The lyrics imply a co-dependency, where the singer needs the listener just as much as the listener needs them. This creates a cycle of addiction that the singer keeps going back to and cannot break free from.
The second verse of the song reads like a confession. The singer admits to building their addiction out of "paper and glue" and modeling it in the image of the listener. This suggests that they have created a persona that appeals to the listener's desires, making it easier for them to get hooked. The singer then describes the devastation that the addiction has caused, watching as their dreams "run and melt." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the toll that addiction takes on one's life. Only the listener knows how it feels, indicating that the singer and the listener are perhaps in this addiction cycle together.

@Megan Petrie Go back to 1st grade, start all over. The Earth is historically cold right not, not historically hot. It's only historically hot if you think history only goes back to 1850.
