Keep Your Head

to the two people before me, i looked for the lyrics, and I found this from a website:

Ting Ting Jules De Martino told Rhapsody about this song: "That track was just a riff we had on stage. Before we forgot the melody, we went to the studio and just turned on the vocal so we could remember it. That guide vocal that Katie put down is the track on the album. It's almost like you think she's singing something, but it's just complete gobbledygook. So we liked the idea that it was of its time. We're not into writing songs, storing them on machines and going back to them months later and finishing them."

In China this song is banned and all the Chinese album versions have had this track removed. De Martino explained to Rhapsody that because the lyrics can't be translated "they worried that there's some sort of secret message in it." -from: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=12017

I was lyk, "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!' XDDD

Schweet, first to comment this song. Pretty catchy. I think it's saying to stay sane even if you just don't want to be there. Like, don't get all crazy and berserk.

My favourite in the cd. :) Btw, anyone have any idea what "Impacilla Carpisung" says?

I was looking for that one too :D

I think it's a song about a party. And then the day after the party.

this song is always in my head at work

10 minutes to go, and i want to go home

I think that when you're under twenty-one, songs that mention certain ages/age-groups feel like they're written about you, even when they apparently weren't written at all. I like this song. "Fourteen, intimidated, and she's just fourteen"

I'm pretty sure this song is about going on stage for the first time.

The room's green It's got writing on the wall It's got one chair Its kinda small -Before you go on stage, you're hang out in a Green Room, usually they're small rooms.

Dirty shoes Running past the door. And then you go round Beat yourself up,

Ten minutes to go, And I wanna go home Ten minutes to go, Yeah, I've got to go home Ten minutes to go, And the air, it don't feel clear Everybody disappear, you're In it on your own

-Nerves, stage fright, you go on without any help, especially if you're doing a monologue or solo piece of music, but eventually you have to face it and ignore all the people in the audience.

Fourteen, Intimidated, and she's just fourteen She's getting pulled from the opposite side, Until it breaks down Blame it on the wrong crowd Stay, more make up, hair dye

-She's inexperienced and shouldn't be performing, and blames it all on the audience when it was really her own fault.

You can't sleep, You know it's over but you just can't sleep You've gotta face it, Gotta go outside And do the day-walk Living with the lights off, Ain't nobody home

-Nerves the next day and the worry that someone will recognize you. (I guess, I don't really get this part.)

The rest of it is pretty much the same idea :) Just throwing that out there, that's what I get from it.

I think that this song is about when a person wants to go home but the party has not yet ended. They have to keep their head because maybe something bad happened that made them want to go but they don't want to be rude by leaving early.

I'm not sure if this is right but I think this song MIGHT be like about bullying "fourteen Intimidated and she just forteen"
"hanging with the wrong crowd" could be like the mean person

But you know I could be wrong that's just what I think but I also like what Shanekmh said

actually, this reminds me of my first time having sex. i was fourteen, his room was green, he wore dirty torn-up converses.. he was a "bad boy", two years older, in a band, into heavy metal, he was kinda messed up.. he naturally broke up with me after i ran out of his house.. it was messed up. after that i could barely sleep, i regretted it so much.. i was starting to get more into the "wrong crowd", stayed out late, wore too much make-up, dyed my hair blonde (it looked horrible, lol, im a natural redhead) but after that, i just stayed at home and sulked. used myspace a lot. ignored my real friends. felt like becoming a "scene queen" :P now im getting better, but its just been almost two years.. haven't been able to completely get over it i really love this song <3
