Head
Jordan Sass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Breathing)
Why am I asleep
Everything around is so unreal
(Speaking)
Double truth and half lies
Drowning in a workshop full of habitat won't pay

No conversation, feels strange vibration
Don't want it anymore
Check my head out the door

(Guilty)
World has gone insane
Waiting for a bomb to clean the air
(Filthy)
Little mind is working
Taken through the garbage heap of panic and despair

No conversation, feels strange vibration
Don't want it anymore, ain't gonna find
No deviation, no inspiration
'Cause everyone a whore
Check my head out the door

No conversation, feels strange vibration
Don't want it anymore, ain't gonna find
No deviation, no inspiration
'Cause everyone a whore
Check my head out the door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jordan Sass's song "Head" are full of a deep existential despair, as the singer struggles to deal with the unreality and insanity of the world around them. The opening lines of the song, "Why am I asleep / Everything around is so unreal" set the tone for the rest of the piece, as the singer struggles to come to terms with their own sense of detachment from the world. The use of breathing in the background of the song creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is struggling to keep themselves alive amidst the chaos that surrounds them.


The singer's sense of alienation from the world around them is further emphasized in the lines "Double truth and half lies / Drowning in a workshop full of habitat won't pay". These lines suggest a frustration with the lies and deception that permeate society, as well as a sense of powerlessness in the face of a world that doesn't seem to value honesty or integrity. The singer feels trapped, unable to escape the workshop full of lies and deceit that they find themselves drowning in.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No conversation, feels strange vibration / Don't want it anymore, ain't gonna find / No deviation, no inspiration / 'Cause everyone a whore", further emphasizing the singer's sense of isolation and disconnection from the people around them. The repeated use of the word "whore" suggests a bitterness and resentment towards those who are content to compromise their values in order to fit into the corrupt world around them. Ultimately, the singer resolves to "check (their) head out the door", suggesting a desire to escape from the insanity of the world around them and find some sense of peace and clarity.

Always loved this song and the whole Rats album. She should have been more popular in the US.

Southern Storm

She got NO airtime in the US. All we heard was Melissa Ethridge! Sass's voice and her jamming music puts Ethridges' music to shame!

Kenneth Andersen

This is a very cool song...very good production...hey man...Sass song on the NYC broadway stage man!
