Taking Heads Lyrics
Tip-toe through the ruins of my mind
Desolation in disguise
I've been locked out of my thoughts for a long time
The rusted gates
Deteriorate
Do my insecurities relate?
It's like I'm waiting to fall apart
To fall apart
Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall apart
My eyes are a sight below the surface
The veil's wearing thin
I don't fit into my skin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head
The voices in my head
My mind is silenced
By the talking heads
Chattering at me
With every waking breath
My eyes are a sight below
These voices I can't put to rest
My eyes are a sight below
The veil's wearing thin
I don't fit into my skin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head
The voices in my head
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Drowning out reason, drowning in lament
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head
Outspoken by the voices in my head
Fuck!
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Chattering with every waking breath
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head
Desolation in disguise
I've been locked out of my thoughts for a long time
The rusted gates
Deteriorate
Do my insecurities relate?
It's like I'm waiting to fall apart
To fall apart
Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall apart
The veil's wearing thin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head
By the talking heads
Chattering at me
With every waking breath
My eyes are a sight below
These voices I can't put to rest
My eyes are a sight below
The veil's wearing thin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head
Drowning out reason, drowning in lament
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head
Fuck!
Chattering with every waking breath
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head

I think this is about someone on the brink of losing it. They have all these voices in their head & they no longer have any idea which ones to listen to. They're losing any grip on reality & are lost in the dark maze of landmines crowded inside their own mind.
