The Escape into Euphoria: Tove Lo's 'Habits (Stay High)'

Tove Lo's 'Habits (Stay High)' is a poignant exploration of coping mechanisms and the struggle to deal with loss and loneliness. The lyrics convey a deep sense of escapism, where the protagonist engages in self-destructive behavior to avoid the pain of a breakup or a deep personal loss. The repetition of 'Staying in my play pretend where the fun ain't got no end' suggests a continuous cycle of denial and the creation of an alternate reality where the pain does not exist.

The Hippie Sabotage Remix of 'Habits (Stay High)' adds a haunting and hypnotic dimension to the song, emphasizing the trance-like state the protagonist is in. The line 'Can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain' reveals a dependency on substances or other people to fill the void left by the absence of a loved one. The phrase 'to keep you off my mind' is repeated multiple times, highlighting the constant battle to forget someone and the lengths one might go to in order to avoid confronting their emotions.

Tove Lo's musical style often includes raw and honest lyrics about relationships, addiction, and self-awareness. 'Habits (Stay High)' is no exception, as it provides a candid look into the heartache and the often unhealthy ways people cope with it. The song resonates with listeners who have experienced similar situations, making it a powerful anthem for those trying to escape their own painful realities.
