head down
Vaquero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't remember the night before
All the pictures slowly fade
Seems like a waste of time

Miss the question every now and then
While the answer finds the way
Seems like a waste of time
No more empty spaces to fill the blanks
Make everyone of those
Seem like a waste of time

My head comes down
Holding on just keeps me out
My head comes down
The quiet noise still seems to loud

Keep it coming this way as long as it tastes the same

Can't remember the night before all the pictures slowly fade
Seems like a waste of time
Angry versions of my latest day all the moments that went away
Seems like a waste of time





No more empty spaces to fill the blanks
Make every one of those seem like a waste of time

Overall Meaning

Vaquero's song "Head Down" is a melancholic reflection on the struggle of memory and its ephemerality. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost in the midst of reality, unable to recall events or remember important details. The repetition of the phrase, "Seems like a waste of time," emphasizes the frustration and sense of futility that can arise from this experience.


The song's first stanza, "Can't remember the night before/All the pictures slowly fade/Seems like a waste of time," suggests a failed attempt to piece together the events of the previous night. The memories slip away like sand through fingers, leaving the singer feeling disconnected and unsure of himself. The second stanza, "Miss the question every now and then/While the answer finds the way/Seems like a waste of time," further emphasizes the feelings of confusion and disorientation.


The song's chorus serves as a sort of release for the singer, who finds solace in the act of letting go. "My head comes down/Holding on just keeps me out/My head comes down/The quiet noise still seems too loud" suggests that by stepping away from the pressure of trying to remember, the singer can find peace and clarity. The repetition of the phrase "Seems like a waste of time" in the third stanza reinforces this idea, as the singer resigns himself to the ebb and flow of memory.


Overall, "Head Down" is a poignant and thought-provoking reflection on the nature of memory and the challenges of living in the present moment.
