Head On
Go-Go Gorilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
'Cause my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive
Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong
Head over heels, where should I go?
Can't stop myself, out of control
Head over heels, no time to think
Looks like the whole world's out of sync
Been running so hard
When what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one I left so far behind
I've waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That I'd forgotten about my heart
Head over heels, where should I go?
Can't stop myself, out of control
Head over heels, no time to think
Looks like the whole world's out of sync
Head over heels, where should I go?
Can't stop myself, out of control
Head over heels, no time to think
Looks like the whole world's out of sync
Head over heels, where should I go?
Can't stop myself, out of control
Head over heels, no time to think
Looks like the whole world's out of sync
Head over heels, where should I go?
Can't stop myself, out of control
Head over heels, no time to think
Looks like the whole world's out of sync
In Go-Go Gorilla's song Head On, the singer sings about feeling lost and out of control. They have been running for so long that they have lost track of time and cannot see the warning signs. The singer feels like they are losing their mind and that their weaknesses are becoming stronger. They are struggling to make decisions and feel like the whole world is out of sync. They express a desire to unwind and reconnect with their heart, which they have forgotten about.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves. They have been running so fast and trying to keep up with everything that they have neglected their own needs. The imagery of being "head over heels" and "out of control" conveys a sense of chaos and disorientation. The repeated refrain of "where should I go?" and "no time to think" underscores the singer's feeling of being lost and unsure of what to do.
Overall, the song is a powerful evocation of the stresses and challenges of modern life. It speaks to the feeling of being overwhelmed and disconnected that many people experience, and offers a poignant reminder to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and our hearts.

B
on Go Go Gorilla
Dancing
Sitting go dancing
Sitting go dancing
On the lawn
Tiger and the elephant - you know their having fun.
Go-Rilla (×8)
Zoo is a place for the people
Watching the animals there
The lion is sleeping
The elephants eating
The nice bear is watching us stare
Alligators growled
And we headed for home
Go-Rilla x8
Jack the tiger n Joe the crocodile
Really in the mood tonight
Leo lion and Jake the rattlesnake
Keep on funkin and they feel alright.
Keeper is coming to feed them
He just can't believe what he sees
The lion is bumping
The elephants stomping
The parrots they rocking the trees.
Parrots in the cage, flies away..
