Half-Thought
Bedhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What have you done
How could you be so
So many times
Accidents don't happen this much
Not this time every day
It's such a bad excuse
To wait for tomorrow
To think another day's
Enough to wait for the next

Do you really need time?
You know I can't leave
Though you hate to hear this every night
I can't keep you unaware
Of the time that you have
After how long you've asked
I can't make you forget

I've forgotten to say
So many things
Too many times
Complete all the half thoughts
That were only half mine
About how if nothing happened
That it was meant to be
I can't believe what kind of things
I made myself believe

If I take my own advice
It will always only show
The meaning it's lacked
If I found a new conviction




Will you and I start to feel it
Slip out of our hands

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bedhead's song Half-Thought touch on several themes, including the frustration that comes with waiting for something to happen or change, feeling stuck or unable to move forward, and the fear of missed opportunities or chances. The opening lines question what has been done and why it has happened so many times, as if the singer is stuck in a repetitive cycle of accidents or mistakes. They recognize that waiting for tomorrow or another day won't change anything, and that this is a poor excuse for inaction.


Later in the song, the singer acknowledges that they have not said everything they needed to say and that they have failed to act on their thoughts or impulses. This incomplete communication is described as "half thoughts" that were never fully formed or acted upon. There is a sense of regret or disappointment in these lines, as if the singer wishes they could go back and do things differently.


Throughout the song, there is a tension between the desire for change and the fear of actually taking action. The final lines suggest that finding a new conviction may lead to something slipping out of the singer's hands - it's unclear whether this is a positive or negative outcome, but it suggests that there is a sense of risk or uncertainty in trying something new.
