Got No Head
Gee Tee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my head was severed in a spin
See it back onto my corpse quick
Stitch into my neck if you could
I've got no head did you hear what I said
Having no head on my body sucks
When my corpse is filled with cuts
My heads been traded for another mans
I've got no head did you hear what I said
I've got no head oh did you hear what I said
I've got no head
In "Got No Head," Gee Tee sings about the experience of losing one's head, both literally and figuratively. The opening lines refer to the surreal image of losing one's "scaly limbs" when their head is "severed in a spin." The singer then implores someone to "see [their head] back onto [their] corpse quick" and to stitch it onto their neck as best they can. This image of a body without a head is both grotesque and absurd, highlighting the surreal, dream-like quality of the lyrics.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the loss of the head is a metaphor for a deeper existential crisis. The singer laments the difficulties of navigating life without a sense of direction or purpose, describing their body as "filled with cuts" and likening themselves to a "corpse" being examined by aliens. The reference to "another man's" head suggests a feeling of disconnection from one's own identity, as though the singer has lost touch with who they are and become someone else entirely.
Overall, "Got No Head" is a strange and unsettling exploration of the human psyche. Through vivid, surreal imagery and poignant metaphors, Gee Tee captures the sense of disorientation and alienation that many people feel at various points in their lives.
