| Electric Guest – This Head I Hold Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think the song's about someone who's being pressured by the media to fit into a perfect mold, and to please everyone - even when it comes to the "petty things". The media wants so much from this person; "what they want, what they want from me..." and encourages them to gain popularity by participating in shows and making merchandise, and all of those other commercial aspects of the entertainment industry "plastic, products, shows and woes" that have less to do with their original goal- I guess to make music. With all the pressure surrounding them, they let it all go with a drink and "sink deeper" into ...either a depression or extreme relief, I'm not sure. The singer talks about watching the unassuming crowd leave, suggesting that their fans, the people who see them from popular media, don't know about the exhaustion and depression of their idol. | |
