Silk Lyrics

I think this song is about addiction, because in my point of view, we can say addiction = love. When you are in love with a person, you are addicted to him/her. But you don’t have to be in love with a person, you can be in love with some habit, some place, feeling. You can be in love with drugs and alcohol. If I compare this song and this theory with my life, it makes totally sense. I used to suffer from eating disorders, I loved my illness and I was addicted to it. It was MY LOVE and it was killing me slowly, such as drugs and alcohol do with people. Anyway, I heard this song in Trainspoting 2 for the first time. And trainspotting is a movie about drug addicts, so yeah, the song must be about an addiction. Its only up to you, what an addiction means.
