Bad Habit
Embracing Heartbreak: Unraveling the Meaning of Gregory and the Hawk's 'Bad Habit'
Lyrics
I think my bones are breaking under black eyes
I feel physically and emotionally hurt, possibly from a violent encounter.
And bookcases up to the sky
My surroundings are overwhelming and extensive, like towering bookcases reaching the sky.
The promises I made myself, I wouldn't land it
I promised myself I wouldn't get into a difficult situation, but I failed to keep that promise.
'Cause it's a bad habit, they don't help
Referring to falling into a bad habit that doesn't offer assistance or support.
The nights are crazy but when I try to sleep
During sleepless nights, troubling images dominate my thoughts, including teeth grinding and tender skin.
All I see is grinding teeth and soft skin
Describes the intense physical and emotional connection with someone, possibly involving pain.
You're biting into my mess
The other person is contributing to the chaos and confusion in my life.
And I bask in the pain that comes to pass
I find a strange satisfaction in enduring the pain that inevitably follows.
The heart wants us to fall in love
The heart desires romantic love, a universal longing.
Everyone I know wants to fall in love
Expresses a common human desire for love that is shared by those around me.
Love once got me in the gut
Past experiences of love have caused emotional harm.
There was no real fight, it tore me up
Recalling a love that ended without a significant confrontation but left deep emotional wounds.
And the heart once says
The heart insists on falling in love, repeating the message.
To fall in love, to fall in love
Emphasizes the recurring theme of the heart's desire for love.
To fall in love
Repetition of the plea to fall in love, highlighting its importance.
There was no real fight, it tore me up
Recalls a past experience of love that caused emotional pain without a clear reason.
