Bad Habits
Poxy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sick of being at home
And I'm bored right to the bone
I just put on my night face
And a nasty attitude

You gotta give it to me, girl
A lot of money for a little fun
'Cause I'm being primal, baby
Yeah, I'm bleeding for you

Now I've got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

Got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

I'm hanging up the phone
Stepping out, tired of being alone
I just put on my jacket
And my crocodile leather shoes

So when I get on the dance floor
Shake it up and show me your teeth
Oh, I'm being primal, baby
Yeah, I'm bleeding for you

I've got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

Got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

So now I'm back at home
I can't sleep 'cause you got me stoned
You're my little devil
Tonight I sold my soul to you

You started the fire
So shake it up and show me your teeth
I'm being primal, baby
Yeah, I'm bleeding for you

Now I've got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

Got bad habits
Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

Got bad habits




Got bad habits
Got bad habits now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Poxy's "Bad Habits" describe a person who is tired of being at home and bored, so they adopt a "night face" and a "nasty attitude" in order to go out and have fun. The person acknowledges that they have bad habits, but they continue to indulge them by spending money and being "primal" in order to satisfy their desires. The second verse sees the person step out of their home, dressed in their finest attire, and heading to the dance floor in order to show off their moves and hopefully find a partner for the night. They are once again being "primal" and "bleeding" for their desires. The final verse sees the person returning home, unable to sleep because they are still under the influence of their partner. The partner is described as a "little devil" who started the fire that the person is now unable to put out. The chorus repeats that the person has "bad habits".


The song can be interpreted in many ways, but it seems to be about someone who is bored with their life and is seeking excitement and gratification through their vices. The person is aware that they have these "bad habits" but is still unable to resist them. The partner is seen as a catalyst for their behavior, and the person is willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy their desires.
