Head On
Teeth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hark!
The herald teeth sing
Glory to the tri-tone king
This guitar
Paired with a harp
Played with a feather
Played awaiting the king
Finally
Slithering
Back into the Earth
Leading me
To the tree
And out of the claw
Of controlling
Elohim
It's time to back off
And watch

As he flew
Through the ether
To my arms
Just to say
that "I love you,
And the savior
Now is born on Christmas day"

What's inside you that could do any better
And knows exactly when to leave
It evolves to bring the powers of your arms
An inner-fire
That you breathe
With the five symbols on you
And know they're
Harnessed on Christmas eve
Made you full of intuition




That you stood up
And just leave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Teeth's song Head On are multi-layered and complex, and require careful examination to truly understand. The song begins with a reference to herald teeth singing and giving glory to the tri-tone king. This is an allusion to the power of the human voice and the ability to create sounds and music that can evoke strong emotional responses. The line about playing with a guitar and a harp with a feather adds to the idea of creating music, with the feather representing the delicate and intricate nature of the art form.


The second verse shifts to a more introspective theme, as the singer reflects on their own personal journey of self-discovery, symbolized by slithering back into the earth and finding their way to a tree. This is a metaphor for the process of digging deep within oneself to find inner peace and liberation from external control, represented by the reference to Elohim. The singer realizes that it's time to step back and observe their surroundings, allowing themselves to truly be present in the moment.


The final verse brings the song full circle, as the singer is reunited with a loved one who reminds them of the importance of love and compassion. The reference to the savior being born on Christmas day adds a religious dimension to the song, emphasizing the idea of enlightenment and spiritual growth.

@PonmonofNuggetor Yeah, although it is understandable. I just wish we got more than the coliseum with Tower Tooth, because some of the maps could have also worked (like L.A. if I remember right.)
