Droga Lyrics in English IZA
Abstinência means 'withdrawal' or 'abstinence', the kind someone experiences when they stop using an addictive substance.
In this song, IZA uses this powerful word metaphorically. She sings, "Abstinência de mim" ('Withdrawal from me'), to describe how her ex feels after their breakup. She's so intoxicating that being without her love feels like a physical withdrawal, making this a very dramatic and memorable way to express an intense connection.
Addicted to love
In Droga, Brazilian songstress IZA paints passion as the most tempting substance of all. The lyrics reveal a lover who swears they are done, yet keeps coming back for another “dose” of her kiss. Every touch scrambles their logic, makes their heart scream, and turns a simple embrace into an irresistible high.
IZA flips the usual breakup story by offering herself as both the cause and the cure. She teases her partner’s “withdrawal,” promises gentle treatment, and insists that the only side effects will be memories of her lips and the marks she leaves behind. It is a playful anthem about the magnetic pull of chemistry, where desire outruns reason and the remedy for longing is—quite simply—more of the same sweet addiction.
