Head On
Man Man Lyrics

There's a knock at your door
Someone is at your door trying to get your attention.

You don't even recognize the stranger
You don't know who the person at the door is.

It's you from before
The stranger at the door is actually a version of yourself from the past.

Tryin' to warn you all about the dangers
This past version of yourself is here to warn you about the dangers you might face.

There's a hole in your head
You feel like there's something missing or wrong with your mind.

At least that's what everybody's guessing
Others can sense that something is off about you.

It's why you're always misread
People often misunderstand you because of this missing piece.

It's why you sleep but you never feel rested
You can never truly relax even when you sleep.

You never get your rest in
You can never achieve a true state of peace.

Hold on to your heart
Keep your emotions guarded and protected.

Hold it high above flood waters,
Don't let anyone or anything bring you down.

Never let nobody drag it under.
Don't let anyone manipulate or control your emotions.

Even when your body's bitter
Even when you're in a difficult or unpleasant situation.

Never let nobody take it over
Don't let anyone else take control of your emotions.

There's a call on the phone
Someone is trying to contact you.

You don't even recognize the number,
You don't know who is calling.

It's an old episode,
This call is reminiscent of a past event or experience.

Of trying to put the lightening on the monster,
You're trying to solve a problem or overcome a fear.

Of the life you have led,
Of your past experiences and actions.

That is always a mess
Your past is filled with complications and issues.

Are you dreaming of death
Are you thinking about mortality and the end of life?

Are there ghosts in your chest,
Do you have unresolved emotional issues?

Are you always so restless, yes you are
You can never truly relax and are always on edge.

Is that hard?
Do you find it difficult to live with this constant unease?

Is it all a game
Are you questioning the nature of your reality?

But bait and switch up your brains
Are you being manipulated by others?

And follow your leaders to hell
Are you blindly following authority figures even if it's not in your best interest?

Is it all the same, in vein of insane,
Is the world and its problems all similar and pointless?

As drinking from a poisoned well
Is the world a toxic and dangerous place?

And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
You need to change your approach or attitude for your own sake.

'Cause this one that I'm in, Let me down once again, I'm over time,
Your current mindset is not working and is causing harm to yourself.

Hold on to your heart
Keep your emotions guarded and protected.

Even when the whole world's bitter
Even when everything around you is unpleasant or difficult.

Never let nobody take it over
Don't let anyone else control your emotions.

Ever take it over, ever take it over
Never allow any external forces to take control of your emotions.

Ever take it over from you.
You should always be in control of your own feelings and emotions.
