Get Out Of My Head Lyrics

Forget what you've been told
Conceal the truth you know
The phoenix fights desire
And you know just what I mean
In my cells you're in my soul
What you can't touch you'll never hold
You ask, beg, you plead

Get out of my head

Just a little too late
Been so long gotta do a double-take
I don't remember your face
It's all the words and the way that we relate
Don't belong don't believe
Mind in motion makes me weep
Twisting 'til i transmutate
Reinstate deactivate
Colossal information
Short-circuit detonation

Sink deep
Trip switch is on the blink
Divide conquer
What you will is what you bring on
Emotions flight
Red comet glare ignite
Free fall
Against yourself you fight

Get out of my head
No letting go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. It sounds like someone battling with their own inner nature: the duality so many people wrestle with everyday. The line "I don't remember your face", makes me think of someone who looks into a mirror and doesn't recognize themselves for whjatever reason. Ever looked at yourself in your suit and tie, and tried to remember when you were a long-haired rebel freak in jeans and leather? Or have you ever woken up from a binge or bender (involving drugs or alcohol), and not liked what you saw in the hard light of day?

It's worth pointing out that Lucia's solo song, Monkey Puzzle Tree also includes the lyrics

"The Phoenix Fights Desire You Know Just What I Mean"

I love the way that people who work with KMFDM, or in this case, MDFMK, recycle lyrics. It makes it seem like part of a bigger story.
