Headshrinker
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
She's a headshrinker now
And I think it's time we have some fun
Lost in a fog
I've been treated like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
Lost in a fog
I've been treated like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clownWhatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives
I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
She's a headshrinker now
And I think it's time we have some fun
Lost in a fog
I've been treated like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
The lyrics to Oasis's song Headshrinker tell the story of a girl who is feeling lost and alone. She is waiting by the phone for someone to call, but nobody does. The birds don't sing in her tree, which is a metaphor for the lack of joy in her life. She has lost herself in a haze of pity and doesn't know where to turn. The singer refers to her as a headshrinker, implying that she has become obsessed with her own problems and may even be seeking help from a therapist. The singer then suggests that it's time they have some fun, perhaps trying to snap her out of her depression.
The second half of the song is sung from the perspective of the singer. He has also been lost in a fog and treated poorly, but he's done with that now. He declares that he has no name, no shame, and no fear, implying that he has shed the baggage of his past. He bows down to the tears of a clown, which could refer to the idea of hiding one's inner pain behind a facade of humor. He then warns the listener not to regret today for the rest of their lives, suggesting that they should take action to change their situation if they want to avoid lifelong regret.
Overall, the lyrics of Headshrinker are about feeling lost and struggling to find meaning and happiness in life. The song suggests that it's important to face our problems head-on and take action to improve our situation. It also hints at the idea that humor can be a powerful coping mechanism in difficult times.
