Favorite Vice
Arthur Nery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hesitate when you're hurtin', mm-mm
And you get too fake and uncertain, uh naw
I knew you wouldn't save me if I'm fallin' in love, yeah
But if you would want affection baby, come to my heart, oh oh

Know that you could stay a little while, baby
Hope I could make you feel alive, yeah
So open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Now open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me, baby

You hesitate when you're hurtin', yeah yeah
And you get too fake and uncertain, mm-mm
I knew you wouldn't save me if I'm fallin' in love
But if you would want affection baby, come to my heart
Oh no

I think I finally found me a keeper
God picked her from my dreams
I'm a deep sleeper
Counting sheep out in the field
Kick it with her on my team
Chase dreams she's a goal keeper (mm)
Momma said
"Ain't no reason to be nervous, ain't a woman ever made perfect"
But I wasn't sure about you
Certain allure about you

Found all your flaws were my flaws too
I found myself a little way too close to the edge
A little way too comfy in your bed
Homie told me if I fell for this girl
I'd be dead so I told him I'll be buried with this woman that I'll marry
Who'd have thought it was all in my head
Who'd have thought it was all in my head
Didn't realize I fell till I hit the ground
Still hear the sound of my phone screen shatter in the background

So open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me, mm
Now, open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me, baby

Now open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me

You know you're my favorite vice
You're the one I want when I am stressing, mm-mm
Oh, that kiss was so precise




Got me begging in my mind
Undress, babe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Arthur Nery's song "Favorite Vice" capture the complex emotions one experiences when falling in love with someone who may not be emotionally available or trustworthy. The opening verse speaks to the hesitation one may feel when they are hurting and vulnerable, and the tendency to put up a facade of being fake and uncertain in order to protect themselves. The singer acknowledges that this person may not be the one to "save" them if they fall in love, but also recognizes their desire for affection and connection. The chorus centers around the plea to this person to open up their heart and let the singer in, despite their reservations and fears.


The second verse takes a more personal turn, as the singer reflects on their own journey towards falling deeply for someone. They describe this person as a "keeper" who was handpicked by God from their dreams, but also acknowledges the nervousness and uncertainty that came with this realization. The singer's friend warns them of the potential consequences of falling for this person, but the singer is determined to see it through and even imagines marrying them. The final line suggests that the singer's feelings have been so intense that they have led to physical consequences, as they hear the sound of their phone screen shattering in the background.

Who'd have thought it was all in my head
I didn't realize my true feelings until later on


Didn't realize I fell till I hit the ground
I didn't understand how much I cared for you until it was too late


Still hear the sound of my phone screen shatter in the background
I still remember the moment when I got hurt and realized my true feelings


You know you're my favorite vice
You are my guilty pleasure, the thing I crave


You're the one I want when I am stressing, mm-mm
I turn to you when I'm feeling down or overwhelmed


Oh, that kiss was so precise
That kiss was perfect and memorable


Got me begging in my mind
You have me wanting more, even when we're apart


Undress, babe
I desire to take things to the next level with you physically

Meeks:

[Bridge]
I think I finally found me a keeper
God picked her from my dreams
I’m a deep sleeper
Counting sheep out in the field
Kick it with her on my team
Chase dreams she’s a goalkeeper
Momma said
“Ain’t no reason to be nervous, ain’t a woman ever made perfect”
But I wasn’t sure about you
Certain allure about you

Found all your flaws were my flaws too
I found myself a little way too close to the edge
A little way too comfy in your bed
Homie told me if I fell for this girl, I’d be dead so I told him I’ll be buried with this woman that I’ll marry
Who’d have thought it was all in my head
Who’d have thought it was all in my head
Didn’t realize I fell till I hit the ground
Still, hear the sound of my phone screen shatter in the background

Chorus:
So open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me baby

Now open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me
Open up your heart to me

Outro:
You know you’re my favorite vice
You’re the one I want when I am stressing
Oh that kiss was so precise
got me begging in my mind,
undress, babe
