LOYALTY
The Head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the limits that border
On the thinnest frailties
That makes a sudden change
I'll pay my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
All of them
Bleed at the nerves
That take so long
To wear down
I'll pay my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
(This time I let go)
This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me in direct break
Our original ideals, you let us down
And betrayed our trust with all your promises
I see a piece of shit alive in you
Cast them near enough to be a truth
This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me in direct break
Our original ideals, you let us down
And betrayed our trust with all your promises
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
The Head's song "Loyalty" refers to the idea of loyalty in relationships, whether they be romantic or platonic. The lyrics suggest that people often use "reason" as a way to deny or avoid acknowledging their weaknesses, which in turn can lead to the breakdown of trust and loyalty. The singer speaks of paying his soul into sleep and making up words that he keeps, suggesting that he is struggling with his own sense of honesty and loyalty. The repeated refrain of "Where is your loyalty now?" highlights the betrayal that has occurred, leaving the singer questioning the authenticity of the other person's loyalty.
The second half of the song features more pointed lyrics, with the singer accusing the other person of letting them down and betraying their trust. The line "I see a piece of shit alive in you" is particularly harsh, suggesting that the other person's true character has been revealed. The repeated lines about making enough mistakes and original ideals being let down further emphasize the sense of disappointment and betrayal.
Overall, "Loyalty" is a song that explores the complex dynamics of relationships and the importance of trust and honesty. It suggests that without these qualities, loyalty is impossible and relationships will ultimately break down.

Driller Killer
Let's make
A hit
We'll be
So rich and famous
We'll have
It all
We'll be
Everyone's favorite
No way
I won't
Sell out for more money
Kill me
I'd rather die
It took us
Ten years
To build our fan base
I quit
I can't
I won't live a lie
This is goodbye
Loyalty
Has all been thrown away
Where did all the Loyalty go?
Where did it go?
Ok
I've quit
What now?
Do I sit in Church and pray?
No way
Not me
I've got to try and change things
Without failing
I'm not crazy
I just want to help
Our gift of life we forget quick
Teenage abortion
It's so sick
We give these kids a choice to kill
Then they hate themselves because we gave them free will
But God loves them still
Please don't lie
Or kill
It's making me ill
Please just don't lie
Just don't kill
Please can't you stop it's making me ill
Isn't it
Time for us
To be real?
World love
Bring it back
Bring me love
Allison Bastien
"We give these kids a choice to kill

When I really listen closely, this song, as well as others from the same album, tend to move me to tears.
Mike Willson
Even though he left Korn he's still one of my altime favorite musicians. Major respect for Head!
Grace Danielle
When I hear this song, it makes me want to cry because I can hear Head regretting what he's been supporting for ten years, but it also pumps me up because he's going to do something about it now:) let's grab a guitar and BRING THE LOVE BACK!!!!
