My Addiction

Adam French's song 'My Addiction' delves into the intense emotions and struggles associated with a deep, almost compulsive love. The lyrics portray a narrative of someone who is grappling with the overwhelming influence of a past relationship that continues to haunt them. The song's title itself, 'My Addiction,' sets the tone for a comparison between the emotional dependency on a person and the grip of an addiction.

The verses of the song express a sense of helplessness and confusion, as the protagonist stays up all night, unable to make sense of their feelings or escape from the thoughts of a loved one. The recurring memories of being called by name and the subsequent abandonment are poignant, highlighting the pain of separation and the longing to reunite. This emotional turmoil is likened to the physical symptoms of withdrawal from a drug, emphasizing the depth of the protagonist's dependency.

The chorus of the song reiterates the desire for reconciliation despite previous decisions to part ways. The lines 'You know I need you forever' and 'But tell me that it hurts to be that lonely girl' suggest a plea for empathy and understanding from the absent partner. The song captures the conflict between the rational decision to separate and the irrational, overpowering need to be together, painting a vivid picture of emotional addiction and its consequences.
