Habit

Dabit's song 'Habit' delves into the emotional turmoil of being trapped in repetitive behaviors and the struggle to break free from them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is haunted by their habits, which linger despite their desire for change. The recurring line 'Habits stay around, not like I wanna be this way' underscores the frustration and helplessness felt by the protagonist. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of 'feelings laid to rest' and 'nothing left but bones,' suggesting a sense of emptiness and loss.

The song also explores themes of self-identity and self-worth. The lines 'Tell me who I am, every breath feels so incomplete' and 'I can't seem to love myself, he must've thrown away my heart' reflect a deep-seated struggle with self-acceptance and the impact of external influences on one's self-perception. The protagonist is grappling with the remnants of a past relationship or experience that has left them feeling stripped of their essence and unable to fully embrace who they are.

Additionally, 'Habit' touches on the concept of growth and the discomfort that often accompanies it. The line 'Comfort isn't made for growth' suggests that true personal development requires stepping out of one's comfort zone and facing fears head-on. The protagonist's fear of confronting their true self is evident in the lines 'I'm too scared to see what I am when I have to fight my own.' This internal battle between the desire for change and the fear of the unknown is a central theme of the song, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition and the challenges of personal transformation.
