Haywire
Bedhead Lyrics

In the song Haywire, Bedhead appears to be expressing feelings of frustration and confusion. The opening lines speak to a desire to communicate and share ideas, but also a sense of futility in doing so. The singer suggests that they are incapable of discussing matters they don't understand, yet they are still open to listening if someone wants to share their thoughts. The image of giving someone your ears and having them placed in the singer's hands is a metaphor for this act of listening, while the instruction to cover the singer's ears with the listener's hands speaks to a desire to avoid processing certain information.

The next few lines suggest that the singer's inability to talk about things they don't understand has left them feeling empty and incapable of expressing themselves. The repetition of the phrase "I leave it here" stresses a sense of defeat, and the reference to leaving off the ink suggests a lack of creativity or inspiration. The singer seems to be grappling with a fear of failure or inadequacy, perhaps related to their ability to communicate effectively.

The final lines of the song are somewhat cryptic, but hint at a loss of something important to the singer. The line "my memory of what's good is leaving me" suggests a loss of innocence or a sense of disillusionment, while the final two lines speak to an inner conflict or struggle. The idea that the part of the singer that makes no sense is also their conscience further emphasizes this tension.
