iris stated in an interview with The Line of Best Fit: It’s a song about the frustration you feel getting caught up in self-destructive behaviours, and the first of my songs where I felt I was making something fun and honest in a new way.
[Verse 1]
I know exactly what I want
Oh, too bad I want it when it's not good for me
I'm eating crackers in my bed
It's not a good idea
[Pre-Chorus]
Neither is hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
[Chorus]
Oh, I know you're not good for my heart
How I tried to push it, push it out of my heart
But I love the bitter taste of lust in my mouth (But I love)
You're no good for my heart
Oh, I know you're not good for my heart
How I tried to push it, push it out of my heart
But I love the bitter taste of lust in my mouth (But I love)
You're no good for my heart
[Verse 2]
I know exactly how this looks
Like I've been crucified
Why did I lay my hands on your skin?
I'm eating crackers in my bed
It's not a good idea
[Pre-Chorus]
Neither is hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
[Chorus]
Oh, I know you're not good for my heart
How I tried to push it, push it out of my heart
But I love the bitter taste of lust in my mouth (But I love)
You're no good for my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
Hanging around you
[Bridge]
(You're no)
(I love)
(You're no)
(I love)
[Chorus]
Oh, I know you're not good for my heart
How I tried to push it, push it out of my heart
But I love the bitter taste of lust in my mouth (But I love)
You're no good for, good for, good for, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Hanging around you (Hanging around you)
Hanging around you (Hanging around you)
Hanging around you (Hanging around you)

Låten min “hanging around you/crackers” handler om at man gjør ting som ikke er bra for seg da, og man vet det, men så gjør man det likevel. Den låten er basert på egne erfaringer. Jeg har gjort så mye som jeg angrer på.

Den handler om kjærlighet. Det var faktisk den første låten...
