Heads Will Roll
Say From Charms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After all the ways that they hurt you.
(hot eyes burn blue, fall thirteen flights)
Rid of every last breath of discretion.
Choke on distractions.
Silence, please, boy.
Everything you've ever wanted is right here
Face temptations.
(play to lose, complain you can't find the one who balances it all)
Braced in ways that fail the One that never fails us.
Give up. stay. can't lie. give up.
Close. give up. we'll never break this.
Give up. say. can't lie. give up.
We're gonna make it. stay close.
We're gonna make it. say we're gonna make it.
Everything you've ever wanted is right here.
Stay close, we're gonna make it.
(i'm not talking, no... silence)
Everything you've ever wanted is right here.
Say, we're gonna make it.
The lyrics to Heads Will Roll by Say Anything are complex, and they seem to reflect a dark or even nihilistic perspective. The song opens with the line, "You'll never walk again after all the ways they hurt you." This may be a reference to emotional or psychological pain inflicted on the singer. The next line, "hot eyes burn blue, fall thirteen flights," could be interpreted as a description of the singer's physical or emotional state, with "burn blue" suggesting intense emotion and "fall thirteen flights" suggesting a descent.
The next lines, "rid of every last breath of discretion, choke on distractions, silence please boy," seem to suggest a desperation to escape from the pain or reality of the situation. The lines "everything you've ever wanted is right here, face temptations, embrace them with open arms," seem to suggest that the singer has given up on morality or responsibility and is willing to indulge in unhealthy or dangerous behaviors in order to feel some sense of satisfaction or control.
The lines "play to lose, complain you can't find the one who balances it all" suggest that the singer is aware of the futility of their actions and is unable to find a balance or resolution. The lines "braced in ways that fail the one that never fails us, give up, stay, can't lie, give up, close, give up, we'll never break this, give up, say, can't lie, give up," suggest a resignation to fate or destiny, with the singer acknowledging their inability to change the situation but also accepting their role in it.
Despite the bleakness of the lyrics, there is a note of determination in the final lines, "we're gonna make it, stay close, we're gonna make it, say we're gonna make it, everything you've ever wanted is right here." This could be interpreted as a message of hope or resilience in the face of adversity, with the singer asserting their ability to overcome the obstacles in their way.
