THE IMMUNE – I Don’t Even Smoke

THE IMMUNE membuka “I Don’t Even Smoke” dengan kegelisahan yang aneh tapi jujur, tiba-tiba butuh rokok padahal tidak pernah merokok, semacam metafora untuk kecanduan yang jauh lebih rumit dari sekadar kebiasaan fisik.

Musiknya mengalir dengan energi yang tidak pernah kendor, ketukan rapat menjaga tensi tetap tinggi dari awal sampai akhir. Vokalnya lantang dan menular, dibawakan dengan cara yang membuat kemarahan dan kesedihan terasa bercampur jadi satu, bukan dipisah rapi.

“Ruin me slowly, pretend that you know me, keep me addicted, say that you own me” jadi chorus yang menangkap inti lagu ini dengan tajam, siklus hubungan yang merusak tapi tetap sulit dilepaskan. Lalu “you only love me yeah, when I’m the one that’s trending” menambah lapisan sinis, kritik terhadap validasi yang datang dan pergi sesuka hati orang lain.

“I Don’t Even Smoke” bukan lagu tentang candu dalam artian harfiah, tapi tentang bagaimana manusia tetap kembali ke hal yang jelas-jelas menyakiti, karena entah kenapa hal itu juga yang membuat mereka merasa paling hidup.

Lirik Lagu THE IMMUNE – I Don’t Even Smoke

[VERSE]
Yeah yeah, I need a cigarette
What the fuck’s up with that
Cause I don’t even smoke
Yeah I’m not kidding
You’re a future memory
But my current misery
I’m here beside myself
neither one is winning

[PRE CHORUS]
I’m always frozen on your sidelines
The words I think it’s always land mines

[CHORUS]
Ruin me slowly
Pretend that you know me
Keep me addicted
Say that you own me
Ignore when I write it
Claim that I’m violent
Clap when I’m bleeding
Leave when it’s lonely

[VERSE]
I see how much you’re stoked
Yeah, I know I have jokes
You only love me yeah
When I’m the one that’s trending
Will this madness ever end
You slept with all my friends
It’s like a happy story
With a fucked up ending

[PRE CHORUS]
I'm always chasing ghosts and deadlines
I run toward you just to flatline

[CHORUS]
Ruin me slowly.
Pretend that you know me.
Keep me addicted.
Say that you own me.
Ignore when I write it.
Claim that I’m violent
Clap when I’m bleeding.
Leave when it’s lonely.

[BRIDGE]
Yeah yeah, I need a cigarette
What the fuck’s up with that
Cause I don’t even smoke
Yeah I’m not kidding
You’re my current misery
But soon to be a memory
So I’m here beside myself
Neither one is winning

[CHORUS]
Ruin me slowly.
Pretend that you know me.
Keep me addicted.
Say that you own me.
Ignore when I write it.
Claim that I’m violent
Clap when I’m bleeding.
Leave when it’s lonely.
