Stuck In Your Head
I Prevail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(But I'm gonna be the song stuck in your head)
(Stuck in your head)
Guess what?
For the record you're the broken one
Tried to sing along but we got stuck
So we turned it over and over again
A thousand scratches on the song we had
A million cuts finally wore it down
Couldn't turn it over and over again
Turn it over and over again
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
I'm not the song you want in your head
This will be the last time that I'll spend all life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
But I'm gonna be the song stuck in your head
Stuck in your head
Guess what?
Didn't wanna have to write these words
Now you're on the other side, reversed
Never turning over and over again
So now (now, now)
I'll turn it off 'cause it's so damn loud (so damn loud)
All your lies, how they've wore me down (wore me down)
You can skip the track 'cause I'm not coming back
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
I'm not the song you want in your head
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
But I'm gonna be the song stuck in your head
You make me sick
Round and round again
So I'm turning you out
And I'm trading you in
Sick, so sick again
Now I'm turning you out
And I'm trading you in
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
I'm not the song you want in your head
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again
You're not the one I want in my bed
But I'm gonna be the song stuck in your head
Round and round again
Now I'm turning you off and trading you in
Stuck in your head
Round and round again
Now I'm turning you off and trading you in
This'll be the last time that I spin our life
Never gonna play again (never gonna play again)
You're not the one I want in my bed
But I'm gonna be the song stuck in your head
In "Stuck In Your Head," I Prevail reminisces about a summer fling that went sour. The singer acknowledges that his former lover is not the one he wants in his bed, but he is going to be the song stuck in her head. He acknowledges that the relationship was broken and they got stuck, so they kept repeating the same thing over and over again. However, the song ends with the singer deciding that this will be the last time he spends his life worrying about this relationship. The chorus, which repeats often throughout the song, explains that he's not going to play this game anymore, but he knows he'll be the song stuck in her head.

I'm 62 years old, and I love this band!!!
@yellereugebrink8371
Ive been a drummer for 15 years and this is one of the catchiest grooves ive ever witnessed. This song has been my favourite last 2 years as well
@adayonearth7342
Sick, have you ever thought about playing in a band or uploading covers?
@tarvideos1
I just love how everyone in the band is rocking out. You can even see the person who does the background screaming smile and vibe around.
@tarvideos1
Just want to say thanks to everyone who liked my comment! Didn't know other people felt this way!
