Head Over Heels
Dellé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whooi
Tell me what I’m gonna do
Cause I don’t see no light no more
Yes I ‘m head over heels, Oh mama weh! Papa will soon be gone.
Tell me what I’m gonna do your dieing- that ‘s for sure.
I’m sitting in a boot and I am sailing without no course.
Now I have to swim alone, I face the facts are clear:
You gave me all my confidence, you gave me pride – you made me strong.
There never seemed to be a situation, in which I could fall down.
But as I have to say right now, it’s too hard for me to bear
I am head over heels.
I’ve tried my very best and I can’t stand it any longer.
I’m running out of breath, now I’ve been left back all alone .
I think you’ve overestimated my strength – I’m not a bit stronger.
But I will never give up I swear, see me stand up and face the blow.
What should I do for I can see my road is ending.
Don’t give it up
Give me just a word or say –It’s ok.
Whoo-ya whoo –ya
Don’t give it up, my friend
Give me a belief some kind of light, some kind of vision .Yeah
I am head over heels
Whoo-yo whoo-yo
I’ve tried my very best and I can’t stand it any longer. Stand it any longer
I’m running out of breath now I’ve been left back all alone. I’m all alone
I think you’ve overestimated my strength – I’m not a bit stronger. Not stronger
But I never give up I swear, see me stand up and face the blow.
I’m head over heels
Nothing seems to work for me
Luck is not on my side
Feels like I wanna run away from it all
Oooh
I am head over heels
Ya ya ya ya
Help me not lock back
Not to torture myself with the things that have post a long time ago.
Dellé's song Head Over Heels is a poignant and emotional ballad that explores the struggles of a person overwhelmed by the difficulties in their life. The lyrics reveal the singer's sense of hopelessness and despair as they face various problems and feel like they are sinking without any support. The lines "Tell me what I’m gonna do cause I don’t see no light no more" and "Nothing seems to work for me, Luck is not on my side" paint a picture of a person who feels lost and defeated, with no clear direction or solution to their problems.
Despite the overwhelming negativity, the song also has a hopeful undertone that suggests that the singer is not giving up, even though they are struggling. The lines "But I will never give up I swear, see me stand up and face the blow" and "Don’t give it up, my friend, Give me a belief some kind of light, some kind of vision" reveal a sense of determination and resilience, even in the face of adversity. The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "I am head over heels," reinforces the idea that the singer is overwhelmed by their problems but is still standing strong and fighting.
Ultimately, Head Over Heels is a powerful and moving song that captures the struggles of people facing difficult times. The lyrics are simple yet effective, delivering a message of both despair and hope that many listeners will relate to.

@Seeedyman ich weiß nicht so viel von Dellé's Solonummer und zu dem was er noch vor hat aber das was du sagst würde passen. Immerhin sagt er am Ende des Hidden Tracks "yes, that's exactly how my next album is gonna sound like". Ich hätte jetzt zwar gedacht, dass es ist nicht ernst gemeint sei aber wenn er das in Interviews auch so äußert, bin ich mal gespannt. ;)
