Headache
Splitsville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it’s ruining my day
Yes I know (I know, you know)
And you know it’s giving me a headache
Always such a big concern
All this aggravation
And fretting over
Is it really such a crime
Ever such a scandal
To spend a little
My money’s not the same as time
Your time is not the same as mine
Yes I know (I know)
And it’s ruining my day (I know)
Yes I know (I know, you know)
And you know it’s giving me a headache
Keys will turn and deadbolts slide
TV drone to drown out
What shuttered windows hide
Something’s going on outside
Tempted just to let it burn
Crumble into rubble and quash the buzzing of
All the news I haven’t heard
'cause nothing’s gonna change my world
Sometimes it’s hard enough
For the two of us
To speak without using that tone
If not for distances
Would we have anything
Between us at all
Yes I know (I know)
And it’s ruining my day (I know)
Yes I know (I know, you know)
And you know it’s giving me a headache
Yes I know (I know)
And it’s raining on my day (I know)
Yes I know (I know, you know)
And you know it’s pushing me to panic
Cramming my attic full of static
And you know it’s giving me a headache
Yes I know (I know)
Yes I know (I know) (and it's ruining my day)
It's ruining my day (I know)
The lyrics of Splitsville's song "Headache" center around someone feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the constant worry and concern of money saving and time management. The singer is frustrated with the pressure to always save money and the constant reminders of how valuable time is. This pressure builds up and causes a "headache." The song also touches on the idea that sometimes distance between people may be the only thing that keeps a relationship going.
Throughout the song, the singer is struggling with the constant noise and stress of the world around them. They feel suffocated and weigh down by all the things they need to be worrying about. They feel like giving up and just letting everything go. However, they know that they cannot do that as the world keeps moving around them.
The chorus of the song is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the pressure that the singer is feeling. The use of the phrase "yes I know" in the chorus highlights the singer's understanding of the situation while also expressing resentment towards it.
