Bad Habits
Embracing Mistakes: Nikki Jackson's Tale of Bad Habits and Redemption
Lyrics
A creature of bad habits
Acknowledging a tendency towards negative behaviors.
If something shines, I grab it
Readily pursuing attractive opportunities without hesitation.
I don't check the odds before I place my bets
Acting impulsively without considering the likelihood of success or failure.
But I do believe in fate
Believing in predetermined outcomes or destiny.
That's why I drink my whiskey straight
Choosing a straightforward approach to dealing with life's challenges, symbolized by drinking whiskey.
And just pray that I wake up with no regrets
Relying on fate and hoping to wake up without regrets despite reckless actions.
I don't give as much as I take
Being selfish in relationships, taking more than giving.
But I pray as much as I sin
Balancing indulgence in sinful activities with prayer and seeking redemption.
And you're the kind of mistake
Referring to a person as a mistake but expressing a desire to repeat the experience.
I'd like to make again
Expressing a willingness to make the same mistake again.
A pattern of behavior
Describing a consistent pattern of negative conduct.
Another temporary savior
Turning to temporary sources of relief from pain or difficulties.
To get me high and kill the pain
Using substances or experiences to escape emotional distress.
And trying to make myself forget
Struggling to forget and move on from past experiences.
It's like trying to light a cigarette
Comparing the difficulty of forgetting to lighting a cigarette in the rain.
When you're standing in the rain
Highlighting the challenging nature of overcoming obstacles.
I don't give as much as I take
Reiterating a tendency to take more than giving in relationships.
But I pray as much as I sin
Balancing a life of sin with prayer for forgiveness.
And you're the kind of mistake
Expressing a desire to repeat a past mistake with the same person.
I'd like to make again
Reiterating the willingness to make the same mistake again.
The past is all behind me
Reflecting on the past with a sense of detachment.
But trouble always finds me
Expecting challenges despite efforts to move forward.
Guess I lose as much as I win
Acknowledging losses along with victories in life.
I don't give as much as I take
Reiterating a tendency to take more than giving in relationships.
But I pray as much as I sin
Continuing to balance a life of sin with prayers for redemption.
And you're the kind of mistake
Expressing a desire to repeat a past mistake with the same person.
I'd like to make again
Reiterating the willingness to make the same mistake again.
Yeah you're the kind of mistake
Confirming the appeal of the person as a mistake worth repeating.
I'd like to make again
Reiterating the appeal of making the same mistake again.
