| @[thehandmaid:19068] I totally agree with this comment. In fact, that's the reason that I got hooked on this song. It can apply to love, drugs, or anything else that people can get hooked on. | |

Although the prevailing sentiment on this board is that it's an anti-drug song, I believe it's the opposite. It's sung from the perspective of an addict who is simultaneously in denial about their addiction and reveling in how it makes them feel. These lines are repeated several times: It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie The first of those lines is clearly intended as a counter-argument to someone telling the addict that they have a problem. "No man, you don't understand, it's not a habit at all. It's totally cool. It makes me feel alive!" The second line is along the same lines, essentially telling that same person that if they aren't experiencing it then they can't possibly understand. The third line, however, is the clincher. The addict, fresh off denying that they're an addict, admits that the denials are probably a lie. These lines are usually followed by a repetition of the "I'm not an addict" chorus, but by this point it's clear that the speaker is very much an addict, even if they don't want to call it that, and that they're actually reveling in it. |
