Addicted

Serge Devant's song 'Addicted' delves into the complex emotions surrounding a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the decision to let go of a love that once felt like a dream. The opening lines, 'You came to me / Was like a dream,' suggest an initial euphoria and idealization of the relationship. However, the subsequent lines, 'But maybe it's time I let you go / It's all on me,' indicate a growing realization that the relationship may no longer be healthy or sustainable.

The recurring question, 'Can I give you up / Can I come back down,' highlights the internal conflict and the difficulty of breaking free from the emotional hold of the relationship. This struggle is further emphasized by the repeated line, 'Gotta get you out of my head,' which underscores the obsessive nature of the love and the mental effort required to move on. The repetition of this line serves to illustrate the cyclical nature of the thoughts and the challenge of overcoming them.

The chorus, 'And I wonder why / I'm addicted to love / One day I will run away from you / And this is love,' encapsulates the central theme of the song. The use of the word 'addicted' suggests a dependency on the emotional highs and lows of the relationship, akin to an addiction. The acknowledgment that 'one day I will run away from you' indicates a hope for eventual liberation, while the concluding line, 'And this is love,' presents a poignant reflection on the paradoxical nature of love—both a source of joy and pain. Serge Devant's 'Addicted' captures the essence of a love that is both intoxicating and destructive, resonating with anyone who has experienced the difficulty of letting go.
