Bonehead
Neurosonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think there's rocks inside my head
But have you heard the stupid things you've said?
You stare into the big, bright light
Don't you know that this is why you're blind?

Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?
Why would I keep connected
To those who buy but refuse to pay?

I know your screws inside are bent
You tried to crash me, but you couldn't make a dent.
Loyalty has not one thing to do
With being robbed by those you're loyal to.

Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?
Why would I keep connected
To those who buy but refuse to pay?

Boom, set your mouth on fire
So all your words come clear
If not for all your flat tires
I'm sure you'd find your way right here
Beating you off with a stick, what a kick
While you're eating me up with those tears
Contemplate it on the tree of regret
And forget that you could've been here
Perseverance is a wonderful thing,
But be sure that your trucks are in gear.
Nothing worse than just spinning your wheels
And not moving an inch in a year.

Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?




Who would I keep connected
To those who buy but refuse to pay?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neurosonic's song "Bonehead" are a warning against taking advice from people who are clueless and have no idea of what they are talking about. The singer of the song dismisses the opinions of others who criticize him for being allegedly dumb or crazy because he has heard their senseless comments, and he knows he is not crazy. He expresses his frustration with people who pretend to know the way, but all they offer is a dead end, a life that lacks progress and self-improvement. Ironically, the person who is calling others boneheads seems to have a wealth of knowledge and insights that they cannot seem to find a guide. The song reflects the importance of self-determination and the need to choose one's own path and not to listen to haters or naysayers.


Line by Line Meaning

You think there's rocks inside my head
You believe I am stupid and incapable


But have you heard the stupid things you've said?
Yet you don't realize how foolish you sound


You stare into the big, bright light
You are blinded by something you cannot comprehend


Don't you know that this is why you're blind?
Your blindness is caused by your own ignorance


Why should I take directions
Why would I listen to the advice


From boneheads who don't know the way?
From those who are clueless and inept?


Why would I keep connected
Why would I remain associated


To those who buy but refuse to pay?
With those who take but do not reciprocate?


I know your screws inside are bent
I am aware of how messed up you are inside


You tried to crash me, but you couldn't make a dent.
You attempted to harm me but failed miserably


Loyalty has not one thing to do
Devotion is not related


With being robbed by those you're loyal to.
To being stolen from by those you are faithful to


Boom, set your mouth on fire
Let your words be passionate and true


So all your words come clear
So that what you are saying is crystal clear


If not for all your flat tires
If it weren't for your many failures


I'm sure you'd find your way right here
I'm confident you would be here now


Beating you off with a stick, what a kick
Pushing you away with glee


While you're eating me up with those tears
While you are consumed by your own sorrow


Contemplate it on the tree of regret
Reflect on your wrongs and misgivings


And forget that you could've been here
And abandon the notion that it could have been different


Perseverance is a wonderful thing,
Endurance is an admirable trait


But be sure that your trucks are in gear.
But make sure you are taking the right steps


Nothing worse than just spinning your wheels
There is nothing worse than being stuck and making no progress


And not moving an inch in a year.
And not advancing even a bit over a long period of time


Why should I take directions
Why should I obey counsels


From boneheads who don't know the way?
From idiots who have no idea how to navigate?


Who would I keep connected
Why would I maintain contact


To those who buy but refuse to pay?
With people who buy but don't reimburse?
