Habits
☆IronBrain☆ The Chainsmokers Vs. Tove Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh
I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting it on
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all
I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda lonely

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, woo ooh, woo ooh

Pick up daddies at the playground
How I spend my daytime
Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive
I make it fast and greasy
I'm numb and way too easy

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Tryin' to forget you babe, I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, woo ooh, woo ooh

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end, oh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain, oh
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end, oh-oh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
High all the time to keep you off my mind, woo ooh, woo ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Tryin' to forget you babe, I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, woo ooh, woo ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Habits" by Tove Lo speak about a person's struggle to cope up with emotions after a breakup. The song starts with the singer's bizarre habits of eating dinner in the bathtub, going to sex clubs, and watching people get it on, implying that she is trying to distract herself from her pain. She admits that she has seen and experienced a lot but nothing seems to make her nervous. But as soon as she returns home, she fights with her cravings, binges on junk food, and throws up before falling asleep.


The chorus of the song indicates that the memory of her previous lover still haunts her, and she turns to getting high to forget about the pain. The line "spend my days locked in a haze, trying to forget you, babe, I fall back down" further emphasizes her struggle to get over her ex. In the later part of the song, Tove Lo carries on with her strange daily habits of flirting with strangers, making them feel alive, and seeking instant pleasure to numb her sadness.


Overall, "Habits" gives a glimpse into how some people might resort to unusual habits or vices to deal with their emotions after a breakup, and how challenging it can be to move on.

Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the 'tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda lonely
You're gone, and I gotta stay high all the time
To keep you off my mind
