Metalhead Lyrics
my head of metal
is digging my own hole
i don't like it like that
who likes to fall ?
let's take a hammer
and destroy everything around
once the rage's out
still things aren't the way we want
the pressure always
of never being good enough
(exhales) off i'm running
on my metal horse
at night in the night
there is only one thing i wanna do
dancing in the dark
where no one is talking to you
let's take a record
play it loud and fool around
sweat it out
and get lost into the sound
let's take a record
play it loud and fool around
sweat it out
and get lost into the sound

I think it’s about a thick headed slow person who messes up all the time and she realizes It and doesn’t like it . Then they tend to be destructive outside and once they do that everything is still not the way they wanted it. The pressure of not being good enough ( seems like the person is made to feel she’s not good enough) that’s an abusive environment which starts the cycle . Telling someone they are not good enough is abuse and then when in turn she gets destructive she’ sbusive. Both are abusive.
She needs to be rescued from that relationship but nobody’s there so she says To hell with everything I am own Knight . Doesn’t want to talk to anyone . SHe wants to do her own thing
I feel the metalhead refers to the needle of the record player (poss referring to her work as well as later in song, let’s play records etc).
Love the song.
