Man Without Head
The E.B.B.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon,
My love for you, I just couldn't convey,
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games,
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real,
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate,
Doomed to find out things a little too late,
And so I must play this broken man's role,
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul.
'Cause I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream,
Without a dream,
Without a dream.

Raindrops are falling on my head
I feel like the universe is against me and I can't seem to catch a break
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
I feel like I don't belong anywhere and everything around me is mismatched
Nothing seems to fit
I feel out of place and disconnected from the world
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
The troubles and problems I face never seem to stop or go away
So I just did me some talking to the sun
I tried to find some hope and positivity in the midst of my struggles
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
I am frustrated with the way things are going and wish they were different
Sleeping on the job
I feel like the universe is not working in my favor or has abandoned me altogether
But there's one thing I know
Despite all this, I still have hope that things will get better
The blues they send to meet me
The negative emotions and challenges of life can be overwhelming and hard to cope with
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
I won't let these challenges bring me down and I know it won't be long until things turn around
Till happiness steps up to greet me
I have faith that happiness and positivity will come my way eventually
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
I won't let myself be consumed by negative emotions like sadness or despair
Crying's not for me
I won't let myself cry or be defeated by my problems
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
I know that complaining won't solve my problems or improve my situation
Because I'm free
I am free to choose my attitude and perspective despite the challenges I face
Nothing's worrying me
I won't let myself be weighed down by fears or anxieties
