Head
eleven eleven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This heaviness intends to kill
And I'm dying more each day
These heavy feet walk longer still
And I have less and less to say

The empty moon shines morbid rays
Into my disposition
This empty room is where I lay
And think of you

And I'm not going to make it
Going to make it out this time
I know that I'm
Not going to make it
I can't make it out this time
Of this head of mine
This head of mine

Shuffling back on my heels
And I can't move inside this bed
Imploding slow I dream your eyes
But you dream someone else instead

The empty moon shines morbid rays
Into my disposition
This empty room is where I lay
And think of you

And I'm not going to make it
Going to make it out this time
I know that I'm
Not going to make it
I can't make it out this time
Of this head of mine

And I'm not going to make it
Going to make it out this time
I know that I'm
Not going to make it
I can't make it out this time
Of this head of mine
This head of mine
Is drawing feelings
I can't leave behind
And you stand in the shadows




Waiting patiently for me
To die

I'm glad to see other folks marking this momentous anniversary. I forwarded this to the 6 of my kids who were alive to enjoy it the first time. Changed our lives. And the gateway to all the other Koren/Koren Ensemble content. Some staples for 10 or so years at our house: Where is the yogurt? The bairds, the...bairds. Oh what a nice place. WIth my mama, my mama. What a bummer. Dat iz so fawny. Minimi. Is it possible our family has 10% of the views of the Dedication videos? How did people miss this? Anyways, thank you, thank you for your channel and your talent.
