Out of your head
Hale And Pace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The room’s spinning ‘round.
I’ve been sitting here all night,
Just shooting ‘em down.
Ain’t the first time I’ve been in this shape,
And it sure won’t be the last,
So I’ll take the blame,
Dial your number, let it ring.
And I hear a voice calling your name,
And it sounds like mine.
I hear a disconnected message on your telephone line.
And I remember through this haze,
That maybe I called too many times.
But the truth is, I’m so lost without you.
Yeah the truth is, it’s hell I’ve fallen into,
And out of my head.
Yeah, I’m out of my head.
Just another morning waking up on the bathroom floor,
Pounding head, stomach sick, still in last nights clothes
I don’t know how I got here, or where we went wrong,
But I know this much is true:
No whiskey ever gets me drunk enough
To get hungover you.
And I hear a voice calling your name,
And it sounds like mine.
I hear a disconnected message on your telephone line.
And I remember through this haze,
That maybe I called too many times.
But the truth is, I’m so lost without you.
Yeah the truth is, it’s hell I’ve fallen into,
And out of my head.
Yeah, I’m out of my head.
I’m out of my head.
I’m out of my head.
I’m out of my head.
The lyrics of Hale and Pace's song, "Out of Your Head," depict a man who is struggling to move on from a failed relationship. The man in the song has been drinking heavily and is feeling the effects of alcohol. He calls his ex's phone number, but the call goes unanswered. He hears a voice in his head calling his ex's name; he imagines the disconnect message he hears as the sound of his own voice. The haze of alcohol clouds his memory, but he still remembers the pain of losing his ex, and he admits to feeling lost without her.
In the second verse, the man wakes up on the bathroom floor, still wearing the same clothes from the night before, and realizes that his drinking has not helped him forget his ex. He acknowledges that no amount of alcohol can make him forget her, and he continues to feel lost and out of control. The repetition of the phrase "I'm out of my head" emphasizes the man's sense of disorientation and confusion
The song is a common portrayal of a heartbroken, self-destructive individual, battling with the temptation of calling an ex they can't help but miss, even though they know they shouldn't. The longing for that person is so strong, it seems to sap away the very essence of their being, causing them to lose all sense of direction, control, and rational thought.
