Head & Heart
Max Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, now and then
I think about me now and who I could have been
And then I picture all the perfect that we lived
'Til I cut the strings on your tiny violin, oh whoa

My mind's got a m-m-mind of its own right now
And it makes me hate me
I'll explode like a dynamite if I can't decide, baby

My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah
'Cause my mind, and your arms, I go to extremes, yeah
When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love, oh
My head and my heart are caught in-between, yeah

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tell me yes or no
Asking the heavens, "Should I stay or should I go?"
You held my hand when I had nothing left to hold
And now I'm on a roll, oh
Oh whoa

My mind's got a m-m-mind of its own right now
And it makes me hate me
I'll explode like a dynamite if I can't decide, baby

My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah
'Cause my mind, and your arms, I go to extremes, yeah
When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love, oh
My head and my heart are caught in-between, yeah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I'm standin' at the crossroads
I cross my heart with X and O's
Which way leads to forever?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
God only knows

My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah
'Cause my mind, and your arms, I go to extremes, yeah
When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love, oh
My head (my head) and my heart (my heart)
Are caught in-between, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Head & Heart" by Max talks about the struggle between the mind and the heart when it comes to decision-making. The lyrics start by confessing how sometimes the mind wanders and thinks about all the different paths that could have been taken, leading to a perfect life, but ultimately leading to the present where the strings have been cut. The chorus emphasizes how the mind and the heart are at odds, with the mind pushing for a decision but the heart feeling pulled in opposite directions. The second verse talks about seeking guidance from outside sources, but ultimately it's the internal conflict that weighs heavily. The bridge alludes to the idea of being at a crossroads and not knowing which path to take, but ultimately surrendering to the uncertainty because nobody knows what the future holds.


The song seems to be talking about the internal conflict that arises when it comes to decision-making, especially when there are multiple variables at play. Even with outside guidance, it seems that the mind and heart will always be in turmoil when it comes to making difficult choices. The chorus emphasizes the extremes that one can be pushed to when it comes to love, with the mind and heart unable to align. Despite the vague lyrics, it is clear that this song is about the struggle of decision-making and the conflicts that arise between the rational and emotional sides of oneself.


Line by Line Meaning

Baby, now and then
Thinking about my past and present, sometimes.


I think about me now and who I could have been
Imagining how I might have turned out differently.


And then I picture all the perfect that we lived
Remembering the good times we had.


'Til I cut the strings on your tiny violin, oh whoa
Until I ended our relationship.


My mind's got a m-m-mind of its own right now
My thoughts are uncontrollable.


And it makes me hate me
I feel angry and frustrated with myself.


I'll explode like a dynamite if I can't decide, baby
I can't handle the pressure of indecision.


My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah
I feel conflicted between my thoughts and feelings.


'Cause my mind, and your arms, I go to extremes, yeah
I'm torn between logic and emotion.


When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love, oh
I'm unsure whether to follow my intuition or my fears.


Tell me yes or no
Asking for a clear answer.


Asking the heavens, "Should I stay or should I go?"
Wondering whether to stay in the current situation or leave.


You held my hand when I had nothing left to hold
You supported me when I was at my lowest point.


And now I'm on a roll, oh
Now I'm feeling more confident and motivated.


I'm standin' at the crossroads
I'm at a major decision point.


I cross my heart with X and O's
I pledge my sincerity.


Which way leads to forever?
Which path should I take for a long-term future?


God only knows
I can't predict the outcome.


My head (my head) and my heart (my heart)
Again, feeling conflicted between logic and emotion.


Are caught in-between, yeah
I'm stuck in a state of indecision.

@user-fs6rc7sk2b

Left your mark on me
Ya your love like poison ivey
Lost at sea when you look at me
The wave of your existence baby
Surrender upon victory for you
Fell for your vanity
Bound for eternity
Spent all my youth on your beauty
Heaven in her eyes calling
Flew me out to Venus
After cupid shot us
It was such a rush
When I seen her falling
I had to catch her
Bleeding love out on the corner for ya
Took my breath away need resuscitation
All units all units 187
Make em drop dead you a killer
After tonight we going down for murder
Mine for all your treasures
Work like a slave for that rock under pressure
Set it to a Trojan war
To me it's 19434
Mirror mirror
Tell me is it her?
The way she wears designer
I can see her rocking the throne
Never leave her alone
Swear she a mirage
Pure just like my wash
