Habits
The Queen and King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My habits hate when I tuck them in my jacket
But they still control me cause I let them stay
I can't escape them, my mind is their slave
Help me push them away
Push them away
I hope that God can forgive me
Right now I don't have anybody
Due to the things I can't help but say
But they still control me cause I let them stay
I can't escape them, my mind is their slave
Help me push them away
Push them away
I hate when I indulge in my habits
My habits hate when I tuck them in my jacket
Help me push them away
Push them away
The Queen and King's song Habits is a celebration of the free and unconventional lifestyle of the artists. The lyrics describe the singer's non-conformist attitude towards work and life, asserting that they are not cut out for the rigors of a daily routine. The singer is depicted as lazy and crazy, indicating their wild and unpredictable nature. Despite their quirks, the singer is resilient and stays true to themselves, pursuing happiness in whatever form they can find it.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is constantly evolving, moving and improving themselves. The experiences they have had in life have transformed them, turning them into a stranger to their former self. Yet these experiences have also been a source of inspiration for the singer, providing the material for the music they make. They travel to exotic places, encountering a variety of people and learning things that they incorporate into their art.
The chorus of the song, "This is my habit, this is my habit, spread it around," is a call to arms for others to embrace the same carefree lifestyle. The singer claims their way of living as a habit, implying that it is a permanent part of who they are. The repetition of the phrase "spread it around" is an invitation to others to join them in their pursuit of happiness.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm lazy and I'm crazy
I'm not always motivated and my behavior may seem erratic
And I don't think straight working is for me
I don't believe that conventional work is the right fit for me
I kick this and I quit that
I've tried and abandoned many different pursuits
But I grab hold of things that make me happy
When I find something that brings me joy, I hold onto it tightly
I'm movin' improvin' nothing slowing me down
I'm constantly developing myself and nothing is standing in my way
A changer to a stranger
I've experienced so much transformation that I almost don't recognize myself
Because of the different things that I've seen
My unique experiences have shaped me into who I am today
You know me and I'll sing you
I'm willing to share my story with anyone who's willing to listen
A picture of everywhere that I have been
I can paint a vivid picture of all the places I've been and things I've done
Places I go all show life to me
Everywhere I go, I find new meaning and understanding of life
Things that I learn return musically
My experiences and lessons often inspire my musical creations
This is my habit, this is my habit
This is just the way I am - it's become a lifelong habit
Spread it around
Share my message and my music with as many people as possible
This is my habit, this, this is my habit
Once again, my unique approach to life has become a habit that defines me
This is my habit, this, this is my habit
I repeat this message - this is just who I am
Spread it around
Repeat my message and share it with others
