Headspin
Supernova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanna' say, is you're the satellite in my life
So you don't have to lie
And you don't have to cry, anymore

Then I hear you say
Lets live for the moment this time
Why don't you just make up your mind?
[Chorus]
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why, why do you
You make my head spin
You make my head spin
Why, why

Love to build me up
Just to tear me down
Oh but why
Wouldn't it be nice if we found paradise?
Someday

Then I hear you say
Lets live for the moment this time
Why don't you just make up your godamn mind?

[Chorus]

Then I hear you say
You want to be alone
Was it some mistake?
How will we ever know?
I can hear you scream at me
Scream at me

I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect

[Chorus]

Did I ever mean something?
Did I ever mean something to you?




(You make me head spin.
Why, why do you?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Supernova's "Headspin" are about the confusion and turbulence involved in a relationship where the person you love is sending mixed signals. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that the person they love is the center of their universe (the satellite in their life), and that they don't need to lie or cry anymore. However, the singer is then confronted with the dilemma of wanting to commit to a relationship but feeling unsure and confused about the other person's intentions, and urges them to make up their mind. The chorus repeats the phrase "You make my head spin" which suggests the emotional turmoil involved in loving someone whose intentions are unclear. The second verse builds on this idea, with the suggestion that the other person is playing games and enjoys building the singer up, just to then tear them down. The singer still holds out hope that they will find paradise together someday, but realizes that they cannot do this without clarity on the other person's feelings.


The bridge of the song is particularly interesting, as the other person tells the singer that they want to be alone, leaving the singer questioning whether their relationship was a mistake. The refrain then changes slightly, with the singer questioning whether they ever meant something to the other person. This suggests that the relationship has become very one-sided, with the singer investing a lot emotionally while not getting a corresponding level of commitment from the other person. The song ends with the singer not finding resolution, and instead acknowledging that they are not perfect but still hoping for clarity from the other person.


Line by Line Meaning

All I wanna' say, is you're the satellite in my life
I am confessing that you hold a significant place in my life, like a satellite revolves around a planet


So you don't have to lie
You don't have to hide the truth from me and lie anymore


And you don't have to cry, anymore
I don't want you to be sad and cry anymore, I am here for you


Then I hear you say
You say to me


Lets live for the moment this time
Let's enjoy life in the present rather than worrying or thinking about the future


Why don't you just make up your mind?
Why don't you decide what you really want? Stop being indecisive


You make my head spin
You confuse me with your mixed signals, feelings, and actions


Why, why do you
Why do you do this to me?


Love to build me up
You like to raise my hopes and expectations about something


Just to tear me down
And then crush my hopes and let me down


Oh but why
I don't understand why you do this


Wouldn't it be nice if we found paradise?
Don't you think it would be great if we could be happy and satisfied with our lives?


Someday
Maybe someday in the future


You want to be alone
You want to be by yourself and have some space


Was it some mistake?
Did I do something wrong to make you feel this way?


How will we ever know?
How can we find out or solve this mystery?


I can hear you scream at me
I can hear you shouting or yelling angrily at me


I'm not perfect
I admit that I have flaws and make mistakes


Did I ever mean something?
Did I ever matter to you or make an impact in your life?
