Marching Through Your Head
Zeus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel it all the time?
The way she preys upon your mind?
She's a fiend for you love and that's all
Body's aching all the time
The way we feel that old red wine
It's a squeeze and you feel it
Living another day in someone else's fantasy
Makes it harder than it was before
And though you've changed over time you need help
to realize nothing you do is ever ever set in stone
And it's been marching through your head
Wake up tired in your own bed
When she turns to you and says
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all

And then you promise everything
Finest diamonds on her ring
Years of sadness this will bring
Truth always comes out in spring
And it's been marching through your head
You think of all the things she said
And all the times that you regret
You've been untrue to your own heart
And it's been marching through your head
You think about it day and night, my friend
I know you do, I know you far too well to let you go with her
Oh I think about your lover
And all the time she's done you wrong

I know you could do better
Oh yeah, but you've been waiting far too long
Oh yeah, you think about it marching through your head
You think about it day and night, my friend
I know you do, I know you far too well to let you go with her
Oh yeah, you think about it marching through your head




You think about it day and night, my friend
I know you do, I know you far too well to let you go with her

The song "Marching Through Your Head" by Zeus talks about the mind games played by a toxic lover who preys upon the singer's mind. The lyrics describe how the singer is addicted to the attention and love of their partner, who is a "fiend" for their love, while their own body aches for it constantly like old red wine. The song discusses the challenges of living in someone else's fantasy, which makes it difficult to maintain an authentic connection, and the realization that nothing is ever set in stone. The singer is haunted by the way their lover demands everything, even when it is not reciprocated, leading to a feeling of regret and being untrue to oneself. The song ends with the singer acknowledging their friend's struggles and prompting them to do better and not let toxic love march through their head day and night.


Overall, the song seems to be about unrequited love and the struggle to break free from a toxic relationship.

I know you could do better
I believe you are capable of finding someone better suited for you


Oh yeah, you think about it marching through your head
You constantly contemplate this situation in your mind


I know you do, I know you far too well to let you go with her
I am familiar with you and your tendencies, and I won't let you remain in this relationship

Tom Milley Music

great band and cool guys. met them after a show and hung out with the bass player for an hour and talked music and our mutual love of the beatles and preferring to listen to whole albums than just singles. the drummer also plays in my town from time to time with other guys known in the area like brett caswell who also makes great music.
