I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Baby, I've got plans tonight
You don't know nothin' about
I've been sitting around way too long
Trying to figure you out
But you say that you'll call, and you don't
And I'm spinning my wheels
So I'm going out tonight
In my red high heels
I'm gonna call up that old boyfriend
Who says he has it bad for me
I'm gonna take him into town
Flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well you said so yourself
Yeah, you know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me
In my red high heels
Well, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
All those games you tried to play
Well, they ain't gonna work on me now
I put up a barbed wire fence
Around my heart
Baby, just to keep you out
Well, you thought I'd wait around forever
But, baby, get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels
You don't know nothin' about
I've been sitting around way too long
Trying to figure you out
But you say that you'll call, and you don't
And I'm spinning my wheels
So I'm going out tonight
In my red high heels
I'm gonna call up that old boyfriend
Who says he has it bad for me
I'm gonna take him into town
Flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well you said so yourself
Yeah, you know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me
In my red high heels
Well, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
All those games you tried to play
Well, they ain't gonna work on me now
I put up a barbed wire fence
Around my heart
Baby, just to keep you out
Well, you thought I'd wait around forever
But, baby, get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now, don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song, but I really do love the whole cd. When I heard all of the idols sing in person I thought Kellie was one of the best!
