Hook In Her Head Lyrics
Certain things I love, Spend my time
I guess I'll have to unhook those hooks
This woman literally
Felt she had a hook in her head
Rip it up Live it down
Make it big Keep it clean
Shake it off
Take him off Take it off
Do him good Keep it up
Shake it off
He's a fucking drag, But if you don't then you watch him go
If you can you see it home, You be strong
And when you die it's a shame
But you old life stays the same
She has a hook in her head
I saw this lady close her eyes
The bottle slipped between her fingers
And slid along the aisle
If I were a man I'd have a gun, But I'm so bone tired
I'm so bone tired, I'm old...
I watch the snow make slow time
I watch the snow cover up the bottle
So I can slip between
I will read the label from underneath
I wear the circle in my sleep
I guess I'll have to unhook those hooks
This woman literally
Felt she had a hook in her head
Rip it up Live it down
Make it big Keep it clean
Shake it off
Take him off Take it off
Do him good Keep it up
Shake it off
He's a fucking drag, But if you don't then you watch him go
If you can you see it home, You be strong
And when you die it's a shame
But you old life stays the same
She has a hook in her head
I saw this lady close her eyes
The bottle slipped between her fingers
And slid along the aisle
If I were a man I'd have a gun, But I'm so bone tired
I'm so bone tired, I'm old...
I watch the snow make slow time
I watch the snow cover up the bottle
So I can slip between
I will read the label from underneath
I wear the circle in my sleep

A great guitar solo by an underappreciated guitarist. Tanya rocks.
Kristen Hersch was in a car accident at 16 years old, and suffered a double concussion. Upon her recovery, she heard constant ambient noises in her head - sometimes she heard riffs, sometimes words strung together. She received a host of diagnoses for her condition, and she reportedly has synesthesia, where she hears sounds in colors. I think this song is literally about Kristen working through a hook that's stuck in her head.
This song is the flutter of thoughts in a dying mind. It's teenage angst at twenty four. It's pretty much about singular moments in time condenced with such truth that they have to be beautiful. I couldn't ever describe what this song is about, but it is more a part of me than I am myself, it is utterly, brutally, my whole existance muttered into a microphone and leaft out with the trash. I just know it, inside out, beat for beat as my own. I don't wish I had created it, it is more simplisticly truthful than i can admit. Other than that, follow on from Ellen West? some how stylisticly simalar. Yeah so i'm waxing lyrical. I shouldn't talk.
Thank you for posting such an amazing, poetic description of this song. Love it.
