* Music/KneecapBand: Grian Chatten's segment of "Better Way To Live" portrays a man stuck in a downward spiral due to alcohol. Lyrics mention that he got a glimpse of something better ("heaven"), however "I know it exists, but I can't stop getting pissed" and "I think all day, but when I drink I'm okay".

Of the many possible topics a song can be about,one popular choice is addiction. This isn't too surprising since recreational drug use is fairly common in certain musical circles, and therefore addiction tends to follow and have an impact, in some form, on a lot of song writer's lives.

* Music/AliceInChains had '''several''' songs that touched on drug use and the damage done, with some directly addressing addiction itself, such as "Junkman" which is from the perspective of someone who both deals and uses ("What's my drug of choice? / Well, what have you got? / I don't go broke / And I do it a lot") and "Godsmack", which is about reacting negatively to someone who's become a heroin addict ("What in God's name have you done? / Stick your arm for some real fun", "For the horse you've grown much fonder / Than for me, that I don't ponder").

* Music/WeirdAlYankovic has a song, "Addicted to Spuds" about being addicted to potatoes and potato-based products. It's a parody of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" (which, despite the title, is not itself about addiction).
