In German, the word addiction is very similar to the word search ("Sucht" = addiction - and - "Suchen" = search) and so it is also said that addiction comes from searching. Looking for love, looking for security and looking for a hold in life that could not be found in any other way.
I used to consume too. And even though my last spliff was almost 20 years ago and I have not drunk alcohol for over 12 years, I still remember the time when I was searching restlessly. After the next kick, this one experience that must somehow be remembered, after a great woman or just after inner peace. It became an addiction.
"i was searching for you" tells this story, which everyone knows in a certain way, but which can become a deadly problem for some people.
take care of yourselves...
Lyric translation:
I wandered the streets at night
And the city lights showed me my way
Had so many questions
This world seems so big if you don't understand it
And I was looking for my answer sometimes in whiskey sometimes in gray smoke
Even before you understand the plot, the film becomes what you need
I could never understand that hardly anyone is looking for you like me
But no matter where the light breaks you were never to be seen
Refrain:
I was looking for you - on the bottom of every bottle
puff after puff in every embers
Searched for you in my ashes
I was looking for you - in the dope in my pocket
Where are you, rage for rage never came to rest
You just couldn't be reached
I slept through my days
Only the silence of the night promised to be kept
It was difficult to bear
Finally wanted to find you with all my might
And I was looking for my answer, sometimes with pills, sometimes with white dust
Even before you try to land, the flight becomes what you need
I could never understand that hardly anyone is looking for you like me
But no matter where the light breaks you were never to be seen
I could never understand that hardly anyone is looking for you like me
Where the search breaks the searcher you can never be seen

Wenn Die Suche zur Sucht wird... Suchen nach Liebe, suchen nach Geborgenheit und suchen nach einem Halt im Leben, den man auf andere Art vielleicht nicht finden konnte.
Auch ich habe früher Konsumiert. Und auch wenn mein letzter Spliff nun bald 20 Jahre zurückliegt und ich auch seit über 12 Jahren keinen tropfen Alkohol mehr trinke, so erinnere ich mich doch an die Zeit, in der ich rastlos suchte. Nach dem nächsten Kick, diesem einen Erlebnis das irgendwie in Erinnerung bleiben muss, nach dieser einen tollen Frau oder einfach nur nach innerem Frieden. Es wurde zur Sucht.
"Ich suchte Dich" erzählt diese Geschichte, die jeder in gewisser Weise kennt, die aber für mache Menschen zum tödlichen Problem werden kann.
Passt auf euch auf :)
