Headsoak Lyrics

Cover art for Headsoak lyrics by Andrew Bird

I believe this song is about misjudging people. Disposition is the way people are, their essence and qualities. So a disposition fell over him, and things became the opposite of what they seemed. A normally restless child was patiently reading, the defensive armory wall was hurt and bleeding,

he was so surprised at these occurrences, his head was swimming.

And then soaking your head, people tell others to go soak their head when they believe the speaker has no idea what they're talking about.

So basically he made assumptions about a person based on his idea of their disposition, and he turned out to be wrong, and now he walks slower and takes his time to make assumptions about people.

Yup, that's my take away from this song.
