Story Behind the Song
"Nicotine" is a dark, brooding composition wrought with hyper-kinetic sensory images. Its compelling lyrics deal with the inability to escape painful memories because of the recurring sights, sounds, and smells that are indelibly etched on them.
Lyrics
I've become addicted to the flavor of your favorite cigarette
I draw you deep inside of me
I'll die before I ever set you free
But aching lungs disease the heart, denying that we ever were apart
And all along I knew that it was temporary, temporary
How was I to know that I'd be right
I associate the stains of nicotine falling down like rain on my walls
You cup your hands around the flame but ashes are all that will remain
And all along I knew that it was temporary, temporary
How was I to know that I'd be right
'Cause anything that's any good is temporary, temporary
Everybody knows its effect
