Out Of My Head
Obsidian Voice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Hello" you say on the phone and I hang up
"Who's there?" you say and inside I give up
You call a name into the silence but it's not mine
it's not mine

I hear the smile on your lips and I break
'cause a smile at times is harder to take
than a burdon of sadness and anger on your mind

on your mind

Out of my head
Get out of my head
please

I feel like a soldier marching around
A triumph in mind that will never be found
But if I had to lose my life I'd gladly lose it for you
lose it for you

Out of my head

Get out of my head
please

Overall Meaning

In “Out Of My Head,” Obsidian Voice sings about an unrequited love that has left them feeling trapped and overwhelmed. The song opens with the sound of a phone ringing and the singer answering, but as soon as they hear the other person’s voice, they hang up. The person on the other end asks “Who’s there?” but it’s clear that they are not meant for the singer. This moment is significant because it highlights the singer’s distance from the person they love. They are so wrapped up in their own feelings that they cannot even bring themselves to speak to the object of their affection. The unnamed person calls out a name, but it is not the singer's name, and they are left feeling rejected and alone.

As the song progresses, we learn that the singer is struggling with conflicting emotions. On the one hand, they feel like a soldier on a doomed mission, marching toward a goal that will never be achieved. On the other hand, they are willing to sacrifice everything for the person they love, even if it means losing their life. Despite their feelings, the singer knows that they need to get the person out of their head in order to move on. They repeat the line “Out of my head, get out of my head, please” as a plea for release from the torment of unrequited love.

Overall, “Out Of My Head” is a poignant and heartbreaking song about the struggle to come to terms with unrequited love. Obsidian Voice captures the feeling of being trapped in one’s own emotions, unable to move on, and the pain of realizing that love cannot be forced or manipulated.
