Headcase
Kailee Morgue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tumbling down, I hit a wall
Man, I'm so tired of
Breaking shit, ignoring calls
And starting fires
You said, "Where the hell you been?"
I've been around
I'm not gonna let you in
Might take you down

Hold my hand, don't touch (Hey)
Hold me but don't touch (Yeah, yeah)

I'm a headcase (uh-huh), but you love me (uh-huh)
I'm a mistake, I warned you (yeah, yeah)
I'm a headcase (uh-huh), fuckin' crazy (uh-huh)
I'm a heartbreak, I warned you (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah

I'm losin' my grip right now
Why aren't you here?
'Cause I need you right here, right now
I can't see clear
My head has fallen to my knees
My heart is just fallin' to pieces
Irrationally
Love me, love me, never let go of me

Hold my hand, don't touch
Hold me but don't touch (Yeah, yeah)

I'm a headcase (uh-huh), but you love me (uh-huh)
I'm a mistake, I warned you (Yeah, yeah)
I'm a headcase (uh-huh), fuckin' crazy (uh-huh)
I'm a heartbreak, I warned you (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah

I won't pretend it's all your fault
When you were there through it all
I messed things up, I always do, but it was always you
Yeah, yeah

I'm a headcase, but you love me
I'm a mistake, I warned you (yeah, yeah)
I'm a headcase (Uh-huh), fuckin' crazy (uh-huh)
I'm a heartbreak, I warned you (yeah, yeah, uh-huh)




Yeah, yeah (uh-huh)
Yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kailee Morgue's "Headcase" delve into the artist's own struggles with mental health and self-harm, as she expresses frustration with herself for continuously causing chaos in her life. The opening lines convey a feeling of being stuck in a rut and hitting a wall, both figuratively and emotionally. The repetition of "breaking shit, ignoring calls, and starting fires" creates a sense of frenzied and self-destructive behavior.


The chorus brings the focus to the dichotomy of her personality: being a "headcase" and "fucking crazy," but also being loved and warned by her partner. The lines "Hold my hand, don't touch" and "Hold me but don't touch" could be interpreted as Morgue wanting intimacy and connection, but also struggling with being touched due to trauma or mental illness.


The bridge of the song intensifies the emotions, with the artist admitting to losing her grip and feeling alone without her partner. The phrase "My head has fallen to my knees, my heart is just falling to pieces" paints a vivid picture of the artist's internal struggle. The song ends on a note of self-reflection and gratitude towards her partner, acknowledging her own shortcomings but also recognizing the support she has received.


Overall, "Headcase" is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of mental health and the impact it can have on relationships.
