Meaning of ​my strange addiction lyrics by Billie Eilish

June 2, 2023

"My Strange Addiction" by Billie Eilish is a song about addiction to a person that the singer cannot resist despite the negative effects it has on her life. The opening lines reference a scene from the TV show The Office, as a way to set up a lighthearted tone that contrasts with the darker themes of the song. The lyrics of the first verse suggest regret for talking to someone (belladonna) and wanting to take a break from them, but instead giving into the temptation to be with them. The chorus emphasizes that this person is a "strange addiction" that the singer cannot explain to their doctors, but who they are nevertheless deeply attached and dependent upon.

The second verse continues with the idea of the person being like a drug that the singer craves and can't resist despite it being unhealthy for her. The bridge alludes to a self-destructive streak in the singer, suggesting that she is willing to go to extreme lengths to satisfy her addiction to this person. The outro brings back the initial lighthearted tone, leaving the listener with a sense of ambivalence about the singer's situation. Overall, the song portrays the singer's contradictory feelings of desire and regret toward a person who has become an unhealthy obsession.
