Titolo: Strung Out

    Cosa vuol dire Strung Out in questo contesto:
"The only thing that I ever wanna do is to get STRUNG OUT over you"
Scusate ma non riesco proprio a dare un significato a questa frase
grazie in anticipo

 <Penso voglia dire.:
   L'unica cosa che voglio fare è farmi di cocaina mentre ti sto addosso.
   O qualcosa dello stesso tenore.

 l'annusi.
Mi dispiace Sal ma questa spiegazione non č corretta. Non si dice "strung out"
per mettere la cocaina in fila. Si dice "a line of coke." Invece, "strung out" č
un termine piů generico per lo stato in ansia di un tossicodipendente che č
senza le drughe. Adesso, significa in generale un stato in ansia e in questo
caso significa che la persone vuole essere fanatico a qualcuna.

<<Penso tu abbia ragione.
Avevo detto di non essere un traduttore.
Resta comunque il fatto che Strung out è riferito ala cocaina.
Metti la cocaina "strung out " (in fila ) sul pezzettino di vetro e poi te
l'annusi.

 What do you mean by "La persone vuole essere fanatico a qualcuna "?

Perhaps Spears did mean to day that the derivation of "strung out" is related to
"line of coke" but frankly I doubt that even this is true. I don't consider
myself an expert on slang or the etymology of slang expressions. However, I am
confident enough on this particular point to tell you that I trust my
perceptions over that of Spears. You may decide to trust Spears, but this
connection does not ring true to my ears. In fact, I've heard "strung out" used
more frequently in reference to heroin addiction (and we never say a person is
"spooned up"). It is a relatively old expression and predates the popularity of
cocaine in the US, even in its non-crack form.
If I were to make a wild guess, I would suggest that the phrase may be related
to the slang expression "hung out to dry" (which is related to drying wet
clothing on a line). We use this expression to say, among other things, that a
person has been put in a precarious position and then abandoned. Let me
emphasize that I'm creating this connection between "hung out to dry" and
"strung out" without any basis in research. Let's hope that Spears uses a more
reliable methodology.
Thank you for your offer of help with my Italian. I meant to say that "in this
case it means that the person wants to be addicted to someone" (that is,
emotionally addicted to the person whom he loves).

 Perhaps Spears did mean to day that
Non è che ho un raffreddore. Intendevo dire "to say."

 caso significa che la persone vuole essere fanatico a qualcuna.
< I know  that the right words are "line of coke ".
Spears , however , in his Slang dictionary points out that Strung out is
related with one of the meanings of Line (the fifth one )
that is Line of coke.
I also want to help you with your Italian .

<Voglio drogarmi di te could be what you are looking for .
   It sounds unusual to my ears though.
