I Think I Lost My Headache

ok...i dont think any of you guys have i right yet...the chorus is: It's all my head I know Or so they tell me so Until my head explodes until my headache goes.

and that is correct.

I think this song,you'll be surprised to know, is about Josh Homme over coming the emotional breakdown that followed after he killed former Queens of the Stone age bassist, Nick Oliveri, with a screwdriver after he found Nick had been copulating with his bitch.Josh killed him in a fit of rage,drove out of town with the body in his trunk and buried it beside the motorway(it still hasn't been found yet). He then wrote this song to explain the brief emotional guilt that followed that night and how it came and passed like a headache. I think he got of likely with the murder by recieving like 24 hours of community service cause he made such a kickass song and also no one really agreed with Nick's antics i.e playing naked on stage and his foot fetish...but yeah there's a whole lot of meaning behind this song and all the shit u just read above is all relevant to it!!

I think the annoying ass ending is part of giving you a headache or some sort of irony.

Am i the only person that has had sex while the entire song played? :P don't know how I did that.... I want to play it at bars on the jukebox but I would get shot I'm sure for the horns.

Cannabis gets you paranoid (sometimes) but most times it turns out to be just in your head. Also, as I said before, pot kills headache and every stoner will tell you that. However, the lyrics also refer to other drugs, mostly downers.

Ofcourse this is not the only way to look into this song but you can use that as a starting point. I hate when people who actually hadn't used any drugs try to comment on a song, obviously influenced by different types of drugs. It just sounds silly.

Absolutely correct lyrics:

You know why They called and just let it ring No reply The door is open I swear Ain't no use in picking up You know why

It's all my head I know So they tell me so Until my head explodes Into my head it goes

Tastes so good Oh, but I knew it would Tastes so good Burn like a match house Medicate just to make you soft Love is blind

Catch and release me What the hell were they thinking of? You know why

It's all my head I know So they tell me so Until my head explodes Into my head it goes

This sounds like after a long party Josh is sitting in his living room holding his head in his hands thinking of all the drugs he took, taking another dose of medication, mayby painkillers. The doorbell rings and he can´t even get up to open the door so he wishes the door was already open. Reminds me of a situation in my life when the cops were standing in front of our door and we were all too drunk to open the door... They were very patient and kept on ringing for about one hour. lol

Josh has said this song is about paranoia:

However, I think there's a little more to it than just that.

The only problem I have with this song is the ending. It's far too drawn out, in my opinion.

Other than that, I like it very much!

I get the feeling this might have something to do with hypochondria

Sounds like a hangover, and trying to beat it with hair of the dog. The love is blind sounds like alcoholism, but I may just be seeing the whole thing through my life-goggles.
