My Head Hurts
Wavves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't concentrate
My brain's damaged over you (Woo, ooo, ooo)
I'm saying stupid things
I bet she doesn't know my name (Woo, ooo, ooo)

But my head hurts
And without you it's worse
I want you to take
Shove me deeply into your veins
I want you to come
Breathe me deeply into your lungs

But my head hurts
And without you it's worse
Suffocating on my own
You're killing me, I hope you know

I don't exist
I don't exist
(Woo, ooo, ooo)
I don't exist
I don't exist
(Woo, ooo, ooo)

But my head hurts
And without you it's worse
Suffocating on my own
You're killing me, I hope you know

I hope you know
I hope you know
(Woo, ooo, ooo)
I hope you know
I hope you know
(Woo, ooo, ooo)
I hope you know
I hope you know (My head hurts)
(Woo, ooo, ooo)
I hope you know




I hope you know (My head hurts)
(Woo, ooo, ooo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wavves's song "My Head Hurts" are about the physical and emotional pain that comes with being infatuated with someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. The singer is unable to concentrate and feels like their brain is damaged because they are constantly thinking about this person. They feel like they are saying stupid things and that this person doesn't even know their name. The chorus "But my head hurts / And without you it's worse / Suffocating on my own / You're killing me, I hope you know" highlights the intensity of their pain and how much they feel like they need this person in their life.


The second verse takes on a darker tone with the singer wanting this person to "shove [them] deeply into your veins" and "breathe [them] deeply into your lungs". The intensity of their desire for this person is bordering on obsession and self-destructive tendencies. The bridge "I don't exist / I don't exist" shows how much the singer's identity is tied to this person and their affections. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the words "I hope you know" emphasizing how much this person's actions are affecting the singer's well-being.
