Habits
Julia Westlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda of lonely
You're gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
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
Pick up daddies at the playground
How I spend my daytime
Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive
I'll make it fast and greasy
I'm numb and way too easy
You're gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Spend my days locked in a haze
Tryin to forget you babe, I fall back down
Got to stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you
Standing in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
You're gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
High all the time to keep you off my mind
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down
Got to stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you
The lyrics of Julia Westlin's song "Habits" provide a peek into the life of someone who is struggling to cope with the pain of missing someone. The song describes the habits that the singer adopts to keep herself distracted from the pain. The opening lines "I eat my dinner in my bathtub, then I go to sex clubs" signify that the singer finds solace in indulging in her unconventional habits, which include binge eating and visiting sex clubs. Her restless behavior indicates that these habits temporarily alleviate her pain but fail to provide a long-term solution.
The singer's drug use is evident in the lyrics "You're gone and I got to stay high, all the time to keep you off my mind." The repeated use of the word "high" does not necessarily refer to an addiction but could signify that she turns to drugs to numb her pain. The following lines, "Spend my days locked in a haze, tryin' to forget you babe, I fall back down. Got to stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you," reinforce this idea. The song's overall message is that the singer is struggling to deal with her emotions and is looking for a way to unburden herself from the pain of missing someone.

Just so everyone knows, what you see is what you hear. I have been following David for a long time, and now Julia. What I am saying (most of you already know) is that there are no outside instruments. All you hear is mouth (and David's finger) and microphone. Pure genius. David!! She is a keeper!! :)
@JuliaWestlin
