- The Perfect Drug LyricsI got my head but my head is unraveling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart's no good
and you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die
and I want you
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart
my blood wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little there is left of me
take me with you
without you everything falls apart
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart's no good
and you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die
and I want you
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart
my blood wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little there is left of me
take me with you
without you everything falls apart
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, 'The Perfect Drug' by Nine Inch Nails examines the disastrous effect an addicting relationship can be through the metaphor of a 'perfect drug', where the subject is portrayed as both intoxicating and devastating for the individual, resulting in disintegration and dependency.
