Head
Cities Aviv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Free you from this world, let me show you right
Shackles of the city, leave it all behind
Is it worth the fight? Guess I'd rather fly
Overnight and I'm out, you can pay respects to my hologram
Let's run away, stay fucked up, can't find me, don't give a damn
Best believe I ain't coming back to defend this attack
You know I'm' [?] that's where it's at
Surfing on the surface but we never touch the ground
Netscape, navigate, never turning back
Surfing on the surface but we never through the cracks
I go to sleep, I'm talking in my dreams
Forget these endings, don't know what it means
I guess the answer's still a part of me
Out of my head
Go, go
Out of my head
Go
The lyrics of Cities Aviv's song "Head" suggest the idea of escapism as the singer yearns to leave behind the city’s shackles and fly away into space where he can be free from the limitations of the world. The lyrics convey the singer's desire to break free from societal expectations and explore new horizons, away from the city's confines. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to be different, take risks, and live life fully without any rules or restrictions.
The first stanza of the lyrics talks about the singer's desire to give someone else new life by breathing into them. However, it is unclear who the singer is addressing. It could be a loved one, a friend, or even the city itself. The second stanza suggests the singer's frustration with the city and his decision to leave everything behind. He wants to run away from the city, stay intoxicated, and not look back. The lyrics imply that the singer is determined to find a new way of living and that he would rather fly than fight.
The chorus "Out of my head, go, go, out of my head, go" expresses the singer's need for release and desire to let go of his worries by escaping the city. The lyrics imply that the singer feels trapped by his thoughts and wants to be free from them.

If this song was longer, it would be the best song on the album
@alek98
I agree, at least an even 3 minutes would've been perfect for this one, but at least we got that replay button.

First of all, thank you Spotify weekly, and second, why is this so short?!
@MoKone5
I had a fender bender to this song 5 years ago. He didn’t have insurance but I still paid him $200 and we went our ways. It was all good.
