(Can't Get My) Head Around You Lyrics
Deep inside your soul, there‘s a hole
You don‘t want to see
Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Even though I try
I can‘t get my head around you
Somewhere in the night, there‘s a light
In front of me
Heaven up above, with a shove
Abandons me
And even though I try
I fall in the river of you
You manage to bring me down too
All your faking
Shows you‘re aching
Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Letting you inside isn‘t right
Cause you‘ll mess with me
I never really know
What‘s really going inside you
I can‘t get my head around you
All your feeding
Shows you‘re bleeding
Deep inside your soul, there‘s a hole
You don‘t want to see
You‘re covering it up, like a cut
With the likes of me
You know I‘ve really tried
I can‘t do anymore about you
The cut‘s getting deeper
The hill‘s getting steeper
I guess I‘ll never know
What‘s really going on inside you
I can‘t get my head around you

This song really speaks to me now, It reminds me of me and my ex and how I was so into her, but she ended up being nothing like I imagined, and I loved her, so I tried to help her out. The song Self Esteem, used to describe our official break up, but now its like I broke up with her a second time... so this is what the song means to me...

This means that she is two faced, there is a hole inside her soul. She tells me how she wants to change and bla blah, but her actions dont match her words, hence it makes no sense to me.
Somewhere in the night, there‘s a light In front of me Heaven up above, with a shove Abandons me And even though I try I fall in the river of you You manage to bring me down too
At night when I try to sleep I know its all for the best but then I get so dow thinking about her, Heaven (peace and happiness) abandns me, and all I do is think about her and what she has done, so she brings me down too.
All your faking Shows you‘re aching
She isn't being herself, she acts differently towards different people to fit in. If you cant be yourself then you are obviously not happy with yourself.
Every single day, what you say Makes no sense to me Letting you inside isn‘t right Cause you‘ll mess with me I never really know What‘s really going inside you I can‘t get my head around you
She is manipulative, and I let her in before and she basically broke my heart and manipulated me to believe her bs, and it ruined my relationship with my best friend because he saw through her but because I was into her I let my emotions cloud my judgement. So from now on I can't let her in, because she'll bring me down.
All your feeding Shows you‘re bleeding
She basically feeds off he insecurities of other people and always twists things around to make it out like she is innocent, however all of this feeding shows she is bleding. It shows she is insecure herself, so she has to use other peoples to her advantage to try and cover up for it. However, its obvious that she is just trying to make her feel better about herself.

I tried so damn hard to make her realize she needed to change some shit in her life or she would lose a lot of people close to her. But nstead she just tries to over it up instead of fixing it. Now I realize I have done all I can do, she is not going to change.
The cut‘s getting deeper The hill‘s getting steeper I guess I‘ll never know What‘s really going on inside you I can‘t get my head around you
This is me basically saying its only getting worse and I'm tired of trying to fix it for her. She isn't going to fix it, so I guess I will never know how she really is.
That was long, but thats what it means to me.
this seems pretty self-explanatory; the singer doesnt understand someone. the someone is making bad decisions and the singer cant understand why.
i love the bass drum on this song when the guitar intro finishes. the song is definitely about what lauraleye said.
"I beg of me" should be "abandons me," "don't mess with me" should be "cause you'll mess with me," "feeling" = feeding," and "breathing = bleeding"
Ok, you write a better song,prayingmantis84
prayingmantis was just saying what the correct lyrics are, not what they want them to be.. chill out
o, my bad
the song is about not understanding why someone makes such horrible decisions
this is one of the offsprings best short songs, if that makes any logical sense
This is my favorite song on their CD, "Splinter"
