Lyrics: [Verse 1] Six months clean off the dopamine Throw my phone through the wall My friends can't get a hold of me Just a dial tone when they call [Pre-Chorus] Chills and sweats comin' over me And I'm aching from the withdrawal This chemistry has got a hold of me Got a hold of me, got a hold of me [Chorus] I'm a dopamine addict, I can't break the habit Runs in my head, psychosomatic I stare in the mirror, hide in the attic Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict And I feel like I'm out of touch Keep thinkin' I need that crutch Keep thinkin' I need that rush I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit Runs in my head, dopamine addict [Verse 2] I have these dreams where I'm me again And they almost feel like they're real It's as if I have self-esteem again It's as if I'm starting to heal [Pre-Chorus] The chills and sweats grab a hold of me And they pull me out of my dream They just won't seem to let go of me To let go of me, to let go of me [Chorus] I'm a dopamine addict, I can't break the habit Runs in my head, psychosomatic I stare in the mirror, hide in the attic Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict And I feel like I'm out of touch Keep thinkin' I need that crutch Keep thinkin' I need that rush I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit Runs in my head, dopamine addict [Bridge] The psycho is doomed Your psycho re-used And then up the potency The psycho is doomed Your psycho re-used It just won't let go of me Won't let go of me, got a hold of me [Chorus] I'm a dopamine addict, I can't break the habit Runs in my head, psychosomatic I stare in the mirror, hide in the attic Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict And I feel like I'm out of touch Keep thinkin' I need that crutch Keep thinkin' I need that rush I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit Runs in my head, dopamine addict

@@atfal_naz3505 if you have gone through hardships or if you are going through hardships of life when no one supports you, whom you trusted betrayed and harmed you,every people turned against you even if you are going in a right path,when life doesn't pay you the fruit of your hardwork,when your family and you are criticized and are undermined in society for belonging to a lower middle class family which I am currently experiencing all right now then I think you can relate this song with you.

ALEC BENJAMIN HAS A SECTION IN THE NEWEST *PEOPLE* MAGAZINE!

[@JamesBogashDC]

Been having a discussion with my 16 yr old son on the meaning of this song. He feels that it's about depression -- the lack of dopamine is leading to the depression. I hear it differently, knowing that dopamine addiction is a huge part of society's addiction to technology and social media; always trying to "get that rush" from the next wave of social proof. And Alec certainly sounds like the dopamine is something he wants LESS of (there are many negative connotations aimed at the dopamine). Anyone else have thoughts?

[@butterymcbacktail7384]

Maybe something such as p*ornography addiction? I am just speculating. I can easily see this song being about social media addiction as well. Without Alec revealing the meaning himself it's hard to pinpoint what he is truly referencing.

[@JamesBogashDC]

@@butterymcbacktail7384 Thanks for the input! It would be nice to hear others thoughts as well.

[@sophmcamp]

a lack of dopamine is actually a major component of adhd, but anyone can certainly feel like a “dopamine addict” with social media infiltration

[@summerrainyseason5967]

Dopamine is the "motivation" chemicals in ur brain. I think it is more of he is depressed. Since low on dopamine can lead to lack of motivation, and feeling unmotivated. Depressed people are more vulnerable to other addiction, like social media addiction, drug abuse,... etc. So I think you both can make sense. He is depressed, and he got a shot of dopamine when looking at social media, but it only makes him feel worse. So he tried to avoid using his phone, but then his depression is taking toll on him, making him feel as if he is "addicted" to the dopamine the social media gives.
