HEADSTRONG
Ear Shot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bound
This weight I carry, this weight
I've found
So, let me be the one to say I've
Really had enough
Downfallen on
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong
One time too many
You've let me down
Won't think what could be
Can' feel much now
Downfallen on
(Yes, you meant the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong
Does it really meant that much to you,
To hide your fear, to test the way I feel
Watch me fall
Watch me break
Watch me crawl
Watch me throw it all away
I can't believe the things you say, so
Wrong for how I eel this way
I'm sleeping to relieve this strain so...
Calmly, slowly, softly, just let it all
Just drift away
Headstrong by Ear Shot is a song that talks about carrying the weight of being tied down and burdened by the reality of life. The first lines of the first verse emphasize being weighed down, tied, and bound, which echo the feeling of being trapped and not being able to escape the struggles of everyday life. The song's main message centers around finding the courage to say "I've really had enough" and standing up to those that bring us down. Overall, the song's lyrics speak about a person's journey of overcoming adversity, standing up for oneself, and moving forward.
The song's title has been linked to the idea of being headstrong, i.e. the quality of being determined, self-willed, and resolute. It can be seen to be a characteristic that is essential in overcoming adversity or facing challenges in life with confidence. The lyrics feature the line "so headstrong", which could be interpreted as a call to become more self-assured, self-reliant, and stronger in the face of whatever life throws at us.
