Bad Habits
ChainSka Brassika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her daddy took me down the Den to see Millwall
Didn't know the final score
I had some geezer on the floor, I don't recall
Well I always seem to do it all the time
It's way more fun to step out of line
Not follow on your rules so endlessly
The way that I want it to be
It has been a busy week
Work is s and the weather's bleak
You're feeling down
Friday night is here
You say enough's enough
Call up your mates and hit the town
Well I always seem to do it all the time
It's way more fun to step out of line
Not follow on your rules so endlessly
I'm living my life
The way that I want it to be
Bad habits get all of us
They tend to cause a lot of fuss on your brain
When you think "just one more drink and then i'll drive"
Just stop and think and get the train
Well I always do it all the time
It's way more fun to step out of line
Not follow on your rules so endlessly
I'm living my life
The way that I
I've got bad habits
So many bad bad habits
I'm listing all my bad habits
I've got those real bad habits
All my bad habits
I'm listing all my bad bad habits
Oh yeah I've got those bad habits
I've got those real bad habits
Yeah
"Bad Habits" by ChainSka Brassika talks about indulging in vices and enjoying them, but also recognizing the harm they can cause. The first verse references a childhood memory of going to a football (soccer) game with a friend and her father. The singer doesn't remember the score, but instead, remembers getting into a fight with another person. The second verse switches to a more adult scene, where the singer has had a tough week and decides to let loose with friends on a Friday night. The chorus emphasizes that everyone has bad habits, but it's important to recognize when they're causing harm and make changes.
The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways. On one level, the song can be seen as a simple party anthem, celebrating recklessness and disregard for rules. On another level, it brings up more complex themes of addiction, self-control, and the need for escape. The song acknowledges that everyone has vices, but encourages listeners to be responsible and think about their actions. It’s interesting how the tone of the song balances between celebrating bad habits and the potential harm they can cause.

Its irrelevant what music genre you listen to everyone should like this song. Music at its best

I'm sorry, but that is utter bullshit. Why do people always think that everyone needs to think like they do? I like this song, but to say "everyone should" is just bollocks.
