Id
Heavy the Head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mistook it for a light
Now you're only burning faster towards
The dying of the night
You want love because you're needy
But I never felt the same
I found love cause you were easy
And I didn't know my name
And you told me that you loved me, girl, but I was just a kid
But that never crossed your mind, yeah, you gave into your id
You saw a twinkle in my eye and you
Thought it was a spark
Now I know our love was nothing
Just a misfire in the dark
You told me that I'd never find
Another one like you
And for both of our sakes
I hope to god that that stays true
And you told me that you loved me, girl, but I was just a kid
But that never crossed your mind, yeah, you gave into your id
It really gives a new perspective looking back
On all the simple judgement that I used to lack
Why were you there?
Why did I even care?
And you told me that you loved me, girl, but I was just a kid
But that never crossed your mind, yeah, you gave into
Oh, you gave into
Oh yeah, you gave into
Your id
The lyrics of Heavy the Head's song "Id" explore themes of mistaken attraction, love based on convenience, and the consequences of giving in to one's instincts or desires. The singer describes how someone saw a spark in their eyes and mistook it for a genuine light, leading to a faster-burning relationship that is destined for an inevitable end. The person they are involved with is described as needy, seeking love, while the singer never felt the same way. Instead, they found love with this person because it was easy and convenient, but they were not truly connected or aware of their own identity.
The second verse reveals that the singer was told by their partner that they loved them, but they were just a kid at the time. However, the partner seemed to disregard this fact and gave in to their own impulses or desires (their id), leading to an unbalanced and perhaps inappropriate relationship. The power dynamic is further highlighted when the partner tells the singer that they will never find anyone else like them, which the singer hopes is true for the sake of both of them.
In the final verse, the singer reflects on their past and realizes the lack of sound judgment they had in the relationship. They question why they cared and why the partner was even there in the first place. The lyrics suggest a newfound perspective gained from hindsight, where the singer sees the simplicity of the judgments they made before. Overall, the song conveys a sense of self-discovery and a recognition of past mistakes in relationships driven by convenience and misinterpretation.
Line by Line Meaning
You saw the spark in my eyes and you
You noticed my passion and enthusiasm, but
Mistook it for a light
You misunderstood it as a genuine connection
Now you're only burning faster towards
Now you're impulsively chasing after
The dying of the night
The end of our relationship or the fading of the excitement
You want love because you're needy
You desire love because of your own insecurities and emotional dependency
But I never felt the same
But I never reciprocated those feelings
I found love cause you were easy
I mistook your easy availability for genuine love
And I didn't know my name
And I lost myself in the process of being with you
And you told me that you loved me, girl, but I was just a kid
And you claimed to love me, but I was naive and inexperienced
But that never crossed your mind, yeah, you gave into your id
But you never considered the consequences, you indulged in your primal desires
You saw a twinkle in my eye and you
You noticed a hint of excitement in me and
Thought it was a spark
Believed it to be a genuine romantic connection
Now I know our love was nothing
Now I realize that our love was meaningless
Just a misfire in the dark
Just a random and unsuccessful attempt at love
You told me that I'd never find
You assured me that I would never come across
Another one like you
Someone similar to you
And for both of our sakes
And for the sake of both of us
I hope to god that that stays true
I hope that statement remains accurate and I don't find someone like you
It really gives a new perspective looking back
Reflecting upon it now, it brings a fresh understanding
On all the simple judgement that I used to lack
On how I lacked the ability to make better decisions
Why were you there?
Why were you in my life?
Why did I even care?
Why did I invest so much emotion and concern?
Oh, you gave into
Oh, you succumbed to
Your id
Your instinctual and impulsive desires
