Head Is Not My Home
MS MR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This head you drowning is not my home
Made it out and cut it out
Take things slow as we may bruise
To reach our unpredictable pass
Your heart, your heart understand mine
Found in forbidden nights
Sharpest loud and place is quiet
Guard now and never again
My mouth your lips
Your hands my hips
Hard time right now
Will set free
And relieves us
Of our misery
Secrets lie in our way
Your kiss tastes better outside the light of day
Know you're sure to scratch your back
Break my knuckles feel them crack
I reveal nothing, both played fate
Pretend not to worry our hearts your hearts
That sting
My mouth your lips
Your hands my hips
Hard time right now
Will set free
And relieves us
Of our misery
Hard to believe
You could cause me harm
This could cause me harm
Hard to believe
You could cause me harm
This could cause me harm
My mouth your lips
Your hands my hips
Hard time right now
Will set free
And relieves us
Of our misery
My mouth your lips
Your hands my hips
Hard time right now
Will set free
And relieves us
Of our misery
The lyrics of the song “Head Is Not My Home” by MS MR revolve around a sense of dislocation and confusion, as the singer struggles to find a sense of belonging and comfort in their own space and mind. Despite the intimacy and physical connection they share with another person, they recognize that this is not enough to ease their distress, as they continue to confront secrets and difficulties in their path.
The opening lines “This space is not my home / This head you drowning is not my home” convey a sense of detachment and discomfort in the singer’s surroundings, highlighting a feeling of disorientation and unease. They then express a desire to take things slow and proceed cautiously through an unpredictable path, recognizing the potential for pain and bruising.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated lines “My mouth your lips / Your hands my hips / Hard time right now / Will set free / And relieves us / Of our misery” suggests that physical intimacy and connection can provide a temporary respite from pain and distress, but ultimately does not provide a lasting solution. This is further emphasized in the contrasting image of “forbidden nights” and the need to guard against promises that cannot be kept.
The second verse explores the idea that secrets and hidden desires lie in the way of true connection, and that the risk involved in pursuing these desires can lead to harm and pain. However, the chorus returns to the idea that physical intimacy and release can offer a sense of relief, even if only temporarily.
Overall, the lyrics of “Head Is Not My Home” convey a sense of longing and confusion, as the singer struggles to find a sense of comfort in their own space and mind, despite the fleeting relief found in physical intimacy.
