Headless Horseman Lyrics
I got hit hard.
I'm on the ground.
And if you swing again I'll duck and I wish you the best of luck. You deserve yourself and I'll return from my trip to hell as a headless horseman.
Cause "O What a loss!" I went back to get my stuff and it was tangled up and tough. I stood there and stared you down and I walked aimlessly around with a flaming pumpkin head.
O What a loss! My soft hands replaced by claws. You turned me into a stray dog from a mighty human man. O what a loss!
O What a loss. I miss my closest friend
and now I cling to rocks in wind. It's a precious thing we lost.
I'm on the ground.

its "my soft hands replaced by claws", not "i solve tens replaced by clust" what the hell does that mean?
Taking this song at face value, it's very interesting. it makes you think of how the headless horseman spends his time. A man being turned into a stray dog, looking for himself after dying. What would the headless horseman do while there is nothing to chase after? How would he feel after turning into this ghost?
i think it's closer to what sethbrown was saying. Only elvrum didn't become a jerk. This song is localized to that moment during a breakup before you even know that's what's happening. He's full of anger that he can't help but lash out (You deserve yourself), and intense, unresolved solipsism.
This is the story of a Hessian soldier whose head was blown off by a canon in the American Revolutionary War.
im hardly believing that no one has commented on this song! Its Elvrum at his best..its so beautiful. The Glow Pt II is truly a gem.
it's about a guy who's been dumped and starts acting like a jerk. a lot of us have been there.
This song is amazing, Floyd-Eye sounds about right.. what to do after death.
i was listening to this song a few nights ago and for some reason it occurred to me that this song might have something to do with the complete loss of innocence. i feel like this is one of those "morning after" songs. so beautiful
this song is too much for me. its too much of a goodbye all too familiar.
the microphones are truly amazing, whenever i listen to them i want to be inside of the music. it moves me.
