Music in My Head
Holy Ramen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What am I doing
Sitting alone in this room for hours
Lost in thought playing my keyboard
I’m not really even a musician am I now?
I just hear music in my head
They’re an embodiment of my soul
And I need to get them down before I go insane
Or maybe I’m already insane
The truth is I’m just sad all the time
Been like this for a while now
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
I often wonder what the meaning of life is
What is existence, what is consciousness
And is the absence of it really so terrible
What would oblivion feel like
I think it would feel great
The weather outside is gloomy
The rain is communicating my feelings
I smile in photos because I feel obliged to
I’m seeing all sorts of hues
Used to threaten to kill myself when I got angry
My parents thought I was an angsty kid just joking
Learned too many sinful things from tv
Mimicking what I was seeing in the movies
But I have always had something strange living deep inside
I don’t feel alright
Every passing moment doesn’t feel real
I’m at a standstill
Can you give me a hand and help me heal
Can I get a second chance at life
I wanna start over and do it right this time
My future is looking bleak
Losing hope I’m feeling weak
Wind chimes, water falls
I’m running in circles till I fall
I spend my nights lying awake
Wondering what would happen if I died today
Wind chimes, water falls
I’m running in circles till I fall
I spend my nights lying awake
Wondering what would happen if I died today
A routine is the only thing keeping me sane
I have a tendency to overthink about life it’s just a game
Gotta get down everything I wanna say
In case it's the first and last album that I make
Sometimes I watch too many pornographic videos to fill up that void of human connection I so crave
I’m really a nasty piece of work it’s probably best to stay away
I think rappers are modern philosophers
My soul must be corrupted by none other than Lucifer
Mac Miller said it best, the world don’t give a fuck about your loneliness
All my heroes are gone so I don’t know what else to do then just rest
And hope for the best I guess
Wind chimes, water falls
I’m running in circles till I fall
I spend my nights lying awake
Wondering what would happen if I died today
Wind chimes, water falls
I’m running in circles till I fall
I spend my nights lying awake
Wondering what would happen if I died today
So what are you waiting for
I asked you what are you waiting for
Pull the trigger and send me
To
Oblivion

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Music In My Head" by Holy Ramen delve deep into the inner turmoil and existential struggles of the songwriter. The opening lines capture a sense of isolation and introspection as the singer finds themselves sitting alone for hours, questioning their identity and purpose. Despite not considering themselves a musician, they feel a strong connection to the music that constantly plays in their mind, seeing it as a reflection of their innermost self. This internal music serves as a means of expression and release, a way to preserve their emotions before they spiral into madness.


As the lyrics progress, themes of despair and nihilism emerge, with the songwriter expressing a pervasive sadness that has settled within them. They grapple with profound questions about the nature of existence, consciousness, and the potential allure of oblivion. The bleak weather and the somber tone of their surroundings mirror their emotional state, highlighting a pervasive sense of emptiness and alienation. Despite putting on a facade of happiness in photos, the songwriter's inner turmoil is palpable, hinting at deeper struggles and unresolved pain.


The mention of threatening self-harm in the past points to a history of emotional turbulence and a search for meaning amidst chaos. The songwriter reflects on their past actions and influences, recognizing a darker aspect of themselves that has been shaped by external factors. They express a longing for a fresh start and a desire to do things differently, signifying a yearning for redemption and a chance to break free from their current malaise. The recurring imagery of wind chimes and waterfalls conveys a sense of cyclical despair and a feeling of being trapped in a relentless pattern of thought.


The closing lines of the song bring a sense of urgency and resignation as the songwriter seems to confront the idea of mortality and the unknown. The repeated questioning of "what would happen if I died today" underscores a yearning for release from their inner struggles and a plea for resolution. The mention of temptation and self-destructive behavior hints at a fragile psyche grappling with inner demons and seeking solace in external distractions. The references to influential figures like Mac Miller and the acknowledgment of loneliness and loss point to a search for connection and understanding in a world that often feels indifferent. The final call for action, to "pull the trigger and send me to Oblivion," encapsulates a raw and haunting plea for escape and release from the overwhelming weight of their emotions.

I love your brows. They're graphic yet realistic, plus you get them like perfectly identical on each side. You're so talented 😊

@aephoriaa.

It’s actually like an eyebrow sticker thing

@teelesynclair5902

@asteriaa._.  I've seen her drawing them on, like she draws the shape out in a lighter colour, then fills it in using thin hair like lines using like a liner pen. I've seen the transfer tattoo brows, too. I guess she uses them, too
