Euphoria Lyrics – keshi

[Verse 1]
In this verse, keshi describes his lover as "toxic" but admits he is drawn to her for the thrill of the relationship. He knows she’s bad for him but is still fully invested, comparing his pursuit of her to chasing a "dragon," which is a metaphor for an unattainable high. This suggests that no matter how many times he gets hurt, he keeps returning for more because of the fleeting pleasure she offers. The line about her using him and disappearing illustrates how she manipulates him, and yet, he stays for the moments of temporary satisfaction.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, keshi highlights how much he is addicted to his lover's affection, comparing her touch to his "favorite drug." He craves her love, even though he knows it’s fading and unhealthy. His use of "fiending" further emphasizes that he is desperate for her love and attention, even though he is fully aware of how harmful it is. His sense of being "gone" for her indicates that she has a complete hold over him, and despite knowing the relationship is disintegrating, he cannot break free from its pull.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, keshi expresses his longing for the euphoria, or intense pleasure, that his lover brings him. However, this euphoria is temporary, and he knows that staying in the relationship will lead to his downfall. He talks about needing her in his "veins," which suggests that her love is like a drug that he craves, providing him with an escape from reality. At the same time, he acknowledges that if he stays, it will "be the death of" him, indicating that the relationship is ultimately destructive, even though he finds it hard to walk away.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, keshi acknowledges that loving his partner comes with a price. He knows there’s no such thing as a "free ride" when it comes to being with her, and he’s aware of the emotional toll this relationship takes. The imagery of being "cut wide open" suggests that the relationship causes him deep pain, but he still feels a need to remain in it. Despite the hurt, he craves the brief moments of pleasure and escape that she provides, as seen in his desire for her to "put him to sleep" with a kiss.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the second repetition of the pre-chorus, keshi reaffirms his dependency on his lover’s touch. He knows her love is fading, but his desire for the high that her affection provides keeps him tied to the relationship. His use of "fiending" again shows his desperation and how his emotions are intertwined with this unhealthy connection. He is fully aware that his attachment to her is harmful, yet he remains emotionally hooked.

[Chorus]
In this second chorus, keshi revisits the theme of euphoria. He repeats that he needs his lover "in his veins," which further underscores the addiction metaphor. The craving for escape, or euphoria, is strong, but keshi remains aware that if he stays in this relationship, it will be his undoing. His internal conflict between staying for the pleasure and leaving to save himself is evident in how he tries to walk away but knows the pull of euphoria will always bring him back.

[Outro]
In the outro, keshi repeatedly sings about euphoria, emphasizing how deeply the addictive nature of the relationship has affected him. The repetition of "euphoria" and "if I stay you'll be the death of me" indicates that he is fully aware of the destructive nature of the relationship. However, his inability to break free shows that he is trapped in a cycle of desire and destruction, unable to walk away even though he knows it will eventually lead to his downfall.
