Addicted Lyrics

Addicted I think is another ode to the disbandment of CH. I think Neil knew he had enough, the fame, the pressure, fortunes but was addicted to it, almost like an aspiration to get there, and once was there he loved it. But now sees it as a hindrance and now the next morning when static is on and the era has ended (when it's all over - crowded house) he wonders why he was like that, and feels perhaps ashamed he loved it so much and is contemplating that thought and feeling maybe a little silly for his actions knowing what people had told him was right - 'And you say I was addicted to the drug' - They were right, I admit that now and couldn't see it, and is glad he has given it up and the timing was right as he knows deep down he had, had enough. I think it's quite an introspective 'when it's all over' auto analysis and knowing he made the right decision, he'd had enough and is happy with leaving it.
