Addicted To Love

The lyrics describe someone overwhelmed by desire for another person. At first, the singer lists physical and mental signs of distress: the person cannot sleep or eat, feels shaky, and seems unable to control their thoughts or choices. The repeated warning that they are “addicted to love” turns this intense attraction into a problem the person must admit. The mood is energetic and teasing, even as the words suggest loss of control.

Several images make the feeling seem almost like an illness or craving. “Your lights are on but you’re not home” suggests that someone is physically present but mentally distracted or absent. “Your heart sweats” and “your body shakes” describe strong bodily reactions, while “another kiss is all you need” presents affection as a dose that briefly satisfies a craving. To be “immune” means to be protected from something; here, the person wants to believe they cannot be affected by love, but the lyrics say the opposite.

“Addicted” may be an exaggeration rather than a literal diagnosis. The song uses the language of dependence to show how consuming attraction can feel, especially when a person keeps seeking more despite its costs. The line about “oblivion” suggests wanting to lose oneself in the experience, though it could also simply intensify the song’s dramatic tone. The lyrics do not explain whether this relationship is mutual or healthy, leaving the listener to hear both excitement and warning in the repeated refrain.
