The pre-chorus shows how he has “a million voices in his head” and feels “hollow”. Then the chorus says “honestly lately, I wanna throw them all away… and just lay with you all day”. Still Woozy is caught between his head and his heart.
It’s scary falling in love, and that emotion is conveyed throughout this laid-back song.
BS
Still Woozy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mad, I know
I leave in the morning, don't be mad, I know
I know you got some things hurting you bad, although
I got a million voices in my head, hollow
All of them keep telling me to go
Honestly lately, I wanna throw 'em all away
Honestly lately, honestly lately
And just lay with you all day
I wanna stay, ain't gonna lie
It don't get better than your big brown eyes
Oh, I think I broke (what'd you break?)
My brain, so I go off
Feeling I think I'll get in the car
Gotta get out of my head but I'm looking at who you are
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I lie to myself, I don't want no one else
All alone
Yeah, I was wrong
I leave in the morning, don't be mad, I know
I know you got some things hurting you bad, although
I got a million voices in my head, hollow
All of them keep telling me to go
Honestly lately, honestly lately
Honestly lately, I wanna throw 'em all away
Honestly lately, honestly lately
And just lay with you all day
Lay with you all day
'Til it all goes grey
Lay with you all day
'Til it all goes grey
The lyrics of Still Woozy’s “BS”encompass the conflicting emotions of someone who wants to leave but also wants to stay. The singer admits that they know leaving will hurt the person they’re speaking to, but they feel trapped by the million voices in their head urging them to leave. The singer is conflicted because they don't want anyone else but the person they talking to, and they want to spend their day with them. The singer constantly repeats “Honestly lately, I wanna throw 'em all away” to reach some sense of clarity about their internal struggles, and the phrase “Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie/I lie to myself” suggests that the singer is aware of their own self-deceit.
The song captures a range of emotions that are characteristic of the human condition: fear of commitment, fear of abandonment, the pain of unrequited love, and the paradoxical desire for both freedom and security. The singer’s conflicting desires demonstrate the complexity of human relationships, the difficulties of communication, and the tolls of mental illness, which make it hard to discern which voice in our head tells the truth. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to step back, clear our minds, and embrace the things that matter most to us.
