How Do I Fix My Head

Straylight Run

Here in this yellow room
Blocking the screaming sounds from the stage
Their silhouettes passing by in the doorway
I pay no mind

You're half-dressed and star-struck
Will they pull you out?
Will they bring you back?

We both know what's coming
You aren't the first
You won't be the last

So take it all off for them
Take it all off for them
I swear, they'll like it

I'm listening to what they say
Feeling less and less okay
But it's the same old story
How do I fix my head?
How do I fix my head?

Living in a world where changing
What you got makes you better
Why's that plastic surgery's
Just what you need
Then you'll be happy

Surrounded by mirrors and people who stare
Silently judging
Dependent on make-up and being adored
Can't be self-assured

I wish that I could make you see
How do I make you see
Without it all
You're lovely

I'm listening to what they say
Feeling less and less okay
But it's the same old story
How do I fix my head?
How do I fix my head?
How do I?
How do I fix my head?
How do I fix my head?

    Yeah I kinnda agree but I think it's about people in general and not just her. The song is also saying that people don't need to be dolled up to be beautiful and that you are beautiful anyway. I completely agree with the point this song is making and i think that people that think looking good is the only important thing in life are in a way ugly them selfs for ridiculing others.

Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
