When Ian Dury sang about Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, he covered not only the Rock n Roll lifestyle but also the majority of musical lyrics. There are songs about sex, songs about drugs and songs about dancing to and appreciating music itself. However, it seems Dury was getting into the Department of Redundancy Department because so many songs treat sex or love as though it is a drug. Well after all there are only so many appropriate metaphors out there so the ones that work will turn up a lot. Certain lines recur in these songs. The love gets the person high, it elates them, being away from it will make them crave it, they will be addicted to it, they feel like they are floating, they have a loss of appetite and so on. A bit of Truth in Television, as the early stages of romantic infatuation will mess with the brain's dopamine levels in much the same ways opiates will. Sometimes these songs can throw the interpretations into a tailspin with people thinking that songs that are actually about drugs are this and vice versa. Sister Trope to Love Is Like Religion. |

A verse from the Song of Songs has the Shulamite saying, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine." The Beloved a little later on responds with, "How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! How much better is your love than wine!" | |

"Kiss from a Rose" by Seal uses it straightforwardly in several places with abstract lines like "Love remained a drug that's the high not the pill" and "you're like a growing addiction" as well as the uncertain interpretations of his eyes getting large and what a kiss from a rose actually is. | |

"The Buzz" by The Pretenders: "It's a drug, like any other". The song is about a manipulative lover using withdrawal to control the singer, who realises this but can't do anything about it. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): One of the verses in "Come to Me" (composed by Daniel Hart and sung by Sam Reid), Lestat de Lioncourt's Villain Love Song for Louis de Pointe du Lac, is "I get intoxicated by the very air of you," and it's not an exaggeration to say that Lestat is addicted to Louis. | |
