A Head With Wings Lyrics

I got a head with wings (x3)
And I can see so far away I can see so clear
You would not believe the view up hear
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
Now I'm floating around up here way above the clouds
So high about the ground
And the only thing that holds my head to the ground
Is this one little skinny string
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
I got a head with yea oh
A head with wings
I got a head with wings (x3)
And I can see so far away yea so far away
I can see the shadows fall across your face
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
I got a head with yea yea
A head with wings (x2)
Yea (x2)

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.

To me, this song is about being high. The narrator is telling everyone how great the view is up where he is; he's telling everyone how great he feels while he's high.

"And the only thing that holds my head to the ground is this one little skinny string" could mean that he's taking a lot of risks by being "way above the clouds", and that it can take very little for him to experience the drawbacks.

"I can see the shadows fall across your face" means that the people around him are sad (or perhaps even angry at him) because he's constantly high.

Lastly, the phrase "head with wings" could imply that what's lifting him into the air is all in his head.
