Headache
Homesafe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have a headache but it's more than just a pain.
It's something I feel will never go away.
But if I take this needle to my skull it would pop like a balloon and let the pressure dissipate into the wind.
Will I ever win?
I think not.
Yeah, this headache is way more than it seems- not the obvious surface signs or the blood rush to my brain that I pick.
Cause I'll never win.
I know it.





I have a headache but it's more than just a pain.

Overall Meaning

These opening lyrics from Homesafe's song "Headache" illustrate the feeling of being trapped in a persistent struggle. While on the surface, the pain may seem like a headache, it's a feeling that goes beyond physical discomfort. It's a reminder of something that constantly weighs the singer down, a perhaps metaphorical ailment that never seems to subside.


The next line, "It's something I feel will never go away," suggests a sense of hopelessness that the singer feels towards his situation. As the lyrics progress, the singer contemplates taking drastic measures to alleviate his pain. There's this feeling that the singer's only path to relief is to release the pressure that is building upon him. There's a vivid image created in the lyric, "But if I take this needle to my skull, it would pop like a balloon and let the pressure dissipate into the wind."


The chorus' repetition of "Will I ever win? I think not," provides a hauntingly repetitive and resounding statement of hopelessness. Each time it repeats, it's like another wave of feelings crashing down on the singer. It's a beautifully written song that explores the complexities of mental health in a simple metaphor relating it to a constant headache.
