Habit Formed
Breaking the Chains: Battling Demons in 'Habit Formed'
Lyrics
Maybe we should quit drinking
Contemplating quitting drinking.
It just fuels my negative thinking
Drinking exacerbates negative thoughts.
I think we should stop the smoking
Suggesting the need to quit smoking.
I can't breathe, I feel like I'm choking
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed.
And all of those little tablets
Referencing the effects of tablets on communication.
They make us babble incoherently
Tablets causing incoherent babbling.
I'm just starting to feel a bit weirdly now
Beginning to feel strange or different.
But what would my peers say
Concern about peer judgment regarding sobriety.
If I decided to get sober today?
Considering the impact of quitting on social perception.
My heart is beating at a weird pace
Experiencing an abnormal heartbeat.
Maybe 'cuz I've been awake for three days
Attributing unusual heart rate to prolonged wakefulness.
Can't stop now (think of the consequence)
Expressing difficulty in stopping, aware of consequences.
Don't know how (think I'll stay on the fence)
Uncertainty about how to stop, contemplating consequences.
Can't stop now (think of the consequence)
Reiteration of the struggle to stop, aware of consequences.
Don't know how (think I'll stay on the fence)
Repeating uncertainty about stopping, considering consequences.
I need my booze, need my smokes, need my porno, and my bong tokes
List of vices essential to the speaker (booze, smokes, porno, bong tokes).
What would I do if I were to lose the ability to force tranquility?
Pondering the reaction if the ability to force tranquility is lost.
What would I do?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing uncertainty.
What would I do?
Further emphasis on the uncertainty of what to do.
What would I do?
Continued emphasis on the unknown course of action.
What would I do?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the future course of action.
Out of my life, go to hell, out of my life
Repeatedly expressing the desire for negative elements to leave life.
Out of my life, go to hell, out of my life
-Out of my life, go to hell
-Out of my life, straight to hell
-Out of my life, go to hell
-Out of my life!
-My heart is beating at a weird pace
Recurrence of abnormal heartbeat, linking it to prolonged wakefulness.
Maybe 'cuz I've been awake for three days now
Reiterating the connection between abnormal heartbeat and extended wakefulness.
