In My Head Till I'm Dead
Surf Curse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do I waste all my time
Thinking of you I'd rather die
Your eyes are always in my mind
It keeps me awake every night
Cause you're in my head, in my head
You're In my head, in my head

I've never felt so much pain
If I close my eyes I see your face
When I'm alone I scream your name
My Lolita, I'm not insane




But you're in my head, in my head
You're In my head, in my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Surf Curse's song "In My Head Till I'm Dead" portray the intense agony of unrequited love. The singer is hopelessly infatuated and haunted by the person to whom they are devoted. The first two lines of the song suggest that the subject of the singer's affection is not reciprocated, and they long for either a relationship or death to escape this unrequited love.


The line "your eyes are always in my mind" cements the idea that the singer sees their object of affection everywhere, and it's driving the singer to madness. The repetition of "in my head" in the chorus furthers this idea of mental turmoil and obsession. It's as if the subject of the singer's love has lodged themselves in the singer's brain and won't let go.


The last verse shows a hint of the singer's desperation, with the line "when I'm alone I scream your name." The singer is obviously struggling to cope and can't escape their love interest even in the solitude of their own mind. The lines "My Lolita, I'm not insane / But you're in my head" evoke the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, where the singer is similarly consumed by an unrequited love. It's a warning that such obsessions can lead to madness.
