Party in my head
Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been staring at the wall
And trying not to lose my head
I can feel the insanity is not too far away
It’s been knocking me dead

We’re going back to the ice age
And not like we did before
I’m trapped in this cage, I’ve got an itch that can’t be cured
It’s calling me out

There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
We’re all locked up
We’re all shut down
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
I can’t get enough and I never wanna stop

We’re all living on the edge
I smoke away my pain
A lot of testosterone that’s boiling in my veins
It’s floating away

We’re all living like animals
It’s a new way of life
I can’t shut down the voices that are screaming in my brain
And it’s calling my name

There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
We’re all locked up
We’re all shut down
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
I can’t get enough and I never wanna stop

Hey, this is the end
Don’t try to lock me down

There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
We’re all fucked up
We’re all shut down
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
We can’t get enough and we never wanna stop

There’s a party in my head, woah oh ohh
You’re all invited
You’re all my friends
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
We can’t get enough and we never wanna stop
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh




There’s a party in my head, woah oh ohh
There’s a party in my head, woah ohh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pain's song "Party in my head" are a reflection of the lead singer's internal struggles and the chaos within his mind. The opening lines, "I’ve been staring at the wall and trying not to lose my head, I can feel the insanity is not too far away, it’s been knocking me dead," reveal a sense of desperation and the battle against one's own inner demons. The singer feels trapped in his own thoughts, unable to find peace or relief.


The reference to going back to the ice age implies a sense of regression or reverting to a primitive state. He feels like he's in a cage and has an insatiable desire that cannot be cured. There is a constant call to chaos, reflecting the inability to escape the overwhelming thoughts in his mind.


The chorus, "There’s a party in my head, woah ohh, we’re all locked up, we’re all shut down," suggests that the chaos and confusion within his mind is a constant presence. It's as if there is a never-ending party happening, but it's not a joyful celebration. Instead, it represents the overwhelming noise and turmoil within.


In the second verse, the lyrics mention living "on the edge," using substances like smoking to numb and escape the pain. The reference to living like animals depicts a sense of societal breakdown and a loss of control. The voices screaming in his brain represent the internal struggle and inner turmoil that he cannot silence.


The bridge of the song, "Hey, this is the end, don't try to lock me down," expresses a sense of resignation and defiance. The singer acknowledges that this is his reality and warns against trying to contain or control his thoughts.


Ultimately, "Party in my head" is a representation of the internal battles and chaos that the singer experiences within his own mind. It explores themes of desperation, isolation, and the constant struggle against one's own thoughts.


Line by Line Meaning

I’ve been staring at the wall
I have been mindlessly gazing at the wall


And trying not to lose my head
Attempting to maintain sanity and composure


I can feel the insanity is not too far away
I sense that insanity is looming close by


It’s been knocking me dead
It has been overwhelming and debilitating


We’re going back to the ice age
We are reverting to a primitive state


And not like we did before
But in a way different from the past


I’m trapped in this cage, I’ve got an itch that can’t be cured
I am confined and plagued by an unrelenting itch


It’s calling me out
It is beckoning me


There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
My mind is filled with chaos and commotion


We’re all locked up
We are all imprisoned


We’re all shut down
Our emotions and thoughts are suppressed


I can’t get enough and I never wanna stop
I crave this state of chaos and never want it to end


We’re all living on the edge
We are all dangerously close to losing control


I smoke away my pain
I use smoking as a coping mechanism for my pain


A lot of testosterone that’s boiling in my veins
My body is filled with intense strength and aggression


It’s floating away
It is dissipating into thin air


We’re all living like animals
We are all behaving in wild and primal ways


It’s a new way of life
This is a fresh and unfamiliar lifestyle


I can’t shut down the voices that are screaming in my brain
I am unable to silence the overwhelming thoughts in my mind


And it’s calling my name
And it is specifically beckoning me


Hey, this is the end
Hey, this is the culmination or conclusion


Don’t try to lock me down
Do not attempt to confine or control me


We’re all fucked up
We are all mentally and emotionally disturbed


You’re all invited
Everyone is welcome to join in


You’re all my friends
Everyone present is regarded as a friend


We can’t get enough and we never wanna stop
We have an insatiable desire for more and never want it to end


There’s a party in my head, woah ohh
My mind is consumed by a tumultuous celebration

I've been staring at the wall
And trying not to lose my head
I can feel the insanity is not too far away
It's been knocking me dead
We're going back to the ice age
And not like we did before
I'm trapped in this cage, I've got an itch that can't be cured
It's calling me out
There's a party in my head, woh oh
We're all locked up
We're all shut down
There's a party in my head, woh oh
I can't get enough and I never wanna stop
We're all living on the edge
I smoke away my pain
A lot of testosterone that's boiling in my veins
It's floating away
We're all living like animals
It's a new way of life
I can't shut down the voices that are screaming in my brain
And it's calling my name
There's a party in my head, woh oh
We're all locked up
We're all shut down
There's a party in my head, woh oh
I can't get enough and I never wanna stop
Hey, this is the end
Don't try to lock me down

We're all fucked up
We're all shut down
There's a party in my head, woh oh
We can't get enough and we never wanna stop
There's a party in my head, woh oh
You're all invited
You're all my friends
There's a party in my head, woh oh
We can't get enough and we never wanna stop
There's a party in my head, woh oh
There's a party in my head, woh oh
There's a party in my head, woh oh

I hope Peter Tägtgren can live at least 1.000 years, we need musicians like him!

He is one of very few that made music solo and it was just TOP notch, but also having 2 bands and doing that awesome thing with Till Lindemann, helping other big bands with their sound or production, guys a musical genius!

I know in Europe they use a '.' instead of ',' but as an American it looks like you said 1 year.
