This Trumpet In My Head Lyrics

I can't get that trumpet out of my head
I can't get that trumpet out of my head
I woke up and I can't get that trumpet out of my head
And you say you can't stand me when I'm quiet,
and so I shot you in my silence

I can't get that trumpet out of my head

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.

melodies and desires...its what I hear in this song...this song really feels for me like intro to her album....so she shot us with her silence...or with her try to share things with us that are beyond all words... this song is about so many things...but lets say i think its about a thought...this thought is something that is between them and she isn't ready to share....and its all the time in her head...it can be made of memories, it can be a wish, or really a trumpet...melody that is saying something to her...it doesn't mean she wants to harm him...just not ready or has a secret that she just saves for herself... the more I try to explain what I think the less I actually say. one thing is sure. this is wonderful song, short, explicit, full of meanings and melodies.... it just shot us.
