In My Head Lyrics
It's the cruelest joke to play
I'm so high I run in place
Only a line we separate
So
[Chorus]
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
You're the only thing I've got
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
[Chorus x4]
I need it
I need it
I need it now
I'm so high I run in place
Only a line we separate
So
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
I need it
I need it now

Why isnt anyone saying anything? This is a pretty cool song, it's pretty much about having someone in your thaughts while they are gone. Anyone catch the performance on SNL? it was pretty good.
I think this song is actualy about drugs, just like most of josh's love songs. Like the bit "Only a line, we separate" as in making lines and "We collide for one embrace" meaning hes peaking and also many other lines. Just think about it and you will see.
Getting high to music? Playing his favorite song after the drugs wear off
I heard this music for the first time in Need for Speed: Underground 2, it took me 8 years to understand the meaning of this music.
"It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, I run in place Only a line, we separate, so..."
This means he started to have a mental breakdown since his girlfriend broke up with him, and the "Line they separated" mean they have gone to separate ways.
[Chorus] "I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head so I need it"
The man puts the song which best represented the couple, and he turned the volume higher when she had gone and she means a very important thing to him and he needs her.
"You're the only thing I've got That I can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so..."
She was the only thing he had in his bad days and he wants to hug her to feel better.
[Chorus 2x]
"Hurry up and wait forever Hurry up and wait for forever"
It means that he believes he will not have a new chance to see her again.
[Chorus 2x]
"I need it I need it I need it Now"
Even with all the things happening above, he still wants her and now.
The real reason i could understand this music is because i am in a very similar situation.
I agree... its definitely about drugs. An awesome song to listen to while on a road trip!
yeah, i agree too, drugs. it's an awesome song to listen to anytime. KornOfTheStoneAge- they were great on SNL, but didn't the guy who sings mess up on the guitar solo for little sister (i don't know his name)?
its about a guy thinkin about his soul mate whose gone away, hes takin drugs, or maybe hes goin crazy and takin drugs because shes dead
Ever had a song that suits your relationship perfectly? This is the song, for that song. When you break up, your likely to do mushy shit like play it non stop. I dont think its referring to drugs at all. When you break up with someone thoughts of them ususally fill your head 24/7. And playing 'your song' gives you some sort of sad relief.
I saw them live last september and Josh said before he sang this song, and I quote " here's a song about fucking"
PS: and he says it on the "Over The Years And Through The Woods" live album
