my slow addiction
Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a whole crowd of people out there who need to learn how to do the Scarn
Don't ask questions you don't wanna know
Learned my lesson way too long ago
To be talkin' to you, belladonna
Shoulda taken a break, not an oxford comma
Take what I want when I wanna
Bad, bad news
One of us is gonna lose
I'm the powder, you're the fuse
Just add some friction
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
I'm really, really sorry
I think I was just relieved to see that Michael Scarn got his confidence back
Yeah, Michael, the movie's amazing
It's like, one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life
Deadly fever, please don't ever break
Be my reliever 'cause I don't self medicate
And it burns like a gin and I like it
Put your lips on my skin and you might ignite it
Hurts, but I know how to hide it, kinda like it
Bad, bad news
One of us is gonna lose
I'm the powder, you're the fuse
Just add some friction
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
Bite my glass, set myself on fire
Can't you tell I'm crass?
Can't you tell I'm wired?
Tell me nothin' lasts
Like I don't know
You could kiss my askin' about my motto
You should enter it in festivals
Or carnivals
Thoughts?
Pretty good reaction
Pretty cool, right?
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
Did you like it? Did you like that?
Um, which part?
"My Strange Addiction" by Billie Eilish starts with a quote from Michael Scott, a character from the show "The Office". It sets the tone for a song thatโs not afraid to take on peculiar and relatable themes. Billie sings about her love thatโs not only strange but also a potential addiction. The lyrics hint at the addictive nature of love and its uncanny ability to evoke strange sensations and behaviors in people. She confesses that sheโs not in control of her obsession and itโs beyond her comprehension. The chorus is repetitive and simple, and it shows how overwhelming and obsessive love can be.
In the second verse, Billie switches to a darker tone and describes the intensity of the emotions sheโs experiencing. The lyrics hint at a risk of addiction to something thatโs almost poisonous. Sheโs willing to take it all in since she likes the way it makes her feel. The last verse includes a line about biting glass and setting herself on fire. These are not literal actions, but rather a metaphor for self-sabotage and the lengths that people may go to when they're in pain or longing for something. The song ends with a conversation thatโs heard in the background of the bridge, adding a touch of quirkiness to an already bizarre and unique song.

Shoulda taken a break, not an oxford comma
I should have taken a break, but instead, I overworked myself like adding an extra comma, which is not necessary in the Oxford comma rule.

And I want ya
Most importantly, I want you.

Deadly fever, please don't ever break
Dangerous fever, please don't ever go away or disappear.
Be my reliever 'cause I don't self medicate
Be my comforter because I don't treat myself with medical drugs.
And it burns like a gin and I like it
The sensation resembles that of being burned by gin, but I like it anyway.
Put your lips on my skin and you might ignite it
If you touch your lips on my skin, you could spark the fire that is already burning inside me.
Hurts, but I know how to hide it, kinda like it
It hurts, but I know how to mask it, and somehow I like it too.
Bite my glass, set myself on fire
I can bite my glass, and light myself on fire.
Can't you tell I'm crass?
Can't you see that I'm rude and vulgar?
Can't you tell I'm wired?
Can't you tell that I'm hyped up or excited about something?
Tell me nothin' lasts
Say to me that all things eventually come to an end.
Like I don't know
As if I'm unaware of that fact.
You could kiss my askin' about my motto
You could ignore my question about my way of life or philosophy.
You should enter it in festivals
You should put the film in competitions and exhibitions.
Or carnivals
Or you could showcase it in carnivals or funfairs.
Thoughts?
What do you think?
