Take My Head
Turnover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those happy songs on the radio
And all the pretty girls and perfect weather
All make me want to know who really cares
Cut my brain into hemispheres
I want to smash my face until it's nothing but ears
I want to paint my drain with a little red stain tonight
I want to fall asleep with the tv on
And let the house burn down until it's gone with me inside
Rest my head just a little longer
I don't care what time it is
And I don't want to have to feel so badly
For all the things I said and never did
Cut my brain into hemispheres
I want to smash my face until it's nothing but ears
I want to paint my drain with a little red stain tonight
Take my head because it's what I want
I want to fall asleep with the tv on
And let the house burn down until it's gone with me inside
The lyrics to Turnover's song "Take My Head" express a sense of dissatisfaction with one's current state of life. The singer is struggling with summer and the happiness it brings, feeling disconnected from the world around them. The pretty girls, perfect weather, and happy music only serve to remind them of their emotional numbness.
The lyrics convey a desire to escape this feeling and to self-destruct, as evidenced by the lines "I want to smash my face until it's nothing but ears" and "let the house burn down until it's gone with me inside." The singer's desire to "cut [their] brain into hemispheres" alludes to the idea of separating emotion from reason, which could further drive them towards self-destruction.
Overall, the song is a reflection of a person struggling with depression, isolation, and a sense of ennui. It portrays the singer's desire for an escape from this feeling, though it is unclear what that escape is or whether they will find it.

Its the worst in the summer
Summer is the worst season for me
Those happy songs on the radio
Even happy songs on the radio can't change my mood
And all the pretty girls and perfect weather
Even the perfect weather and pretty girls can't make me feel good
All make me want to know who really cares
This makes me question who actually cares about me
Cut my brain into hemispheres
I want to completely shut down my thoughts and emotions
I want to smash my face until it's nothing but ears
I want to physically hurt myself so I can't hear or feel anything
I want to paint my drain with a little red stain tonight
I want to harm myself to the point of bleeding
Take my head because it's what I want
I want to escape myself and everything that comes with it
I want to fall asleep with the tv on
I want to distract myself and fall asleep to the noise of the TV
And let the house burn down until it's gone with me inside
I'm so unhappy that I don't care if everything gets destroyed, including me
Rest my head just a little longer
I don't want to face reality and want to stay in bed longer
I don't care what time it is
The concept of time doesn't matter to me
And I don't want to have to feel so badly
I don't want to feel bad about myself anymore
For all the things I said and never did
I regret not doing things I said I would do

And let the house burn down until it's gone with me inside
Rest my head just a little longer
I don’t care what time it is
And I don’t want to have to feel so badly
For all the things I said and never did
Cut my brain into hemispheres
I want to smash my face until it's nothing but ears
I want to paint my drain with a little red stain tonight
Take my head because it's what I want

@BarragePker6
Manic depressive music at it's fullest but It's actually really soothing.

My best friend passed away on New Year’s Day this year. In my friend group he’s the only person who loved songs like this. It’s the kind of song him and I would both fine so relatable. I wish I could send this to him right now so we can bond over it. Being friends with someone who truly understands you is a rare gift. I wish I still had it. Rest in peace, Connor.

Fell in love with this song within the first 10 seconds

This song means more to me than I think I can even comprehend. And I wont claim to be some OG whos just always listened to Turnover but like they just started showing up in my Pandora (yeah I still use Pandora) and I just started thumbing up their songs without actually memorizing the name of the band. But then this song came on. And I can honestly say that a song hasn't resonated with me like this for a very long time. I know its cheesy and cliche and I won't get into specifics (not that I'd have to) but truthfully this song has made the rhythm in my heart beat a bit off-beat. And I get that this is a pretty fucked up song, but to be honest I just feel comfortable knowing someone else has this combination of feelings in them and made them into a song. Thanks, Turnover. This rough patch of my life has gotten somewhat smoother thanks to your music.

One of the greatest albums of all time seriously
