Put Your Head On
Embrace Reality: Put Your Head On and See Life's Tougher Side
Lyrics
Said are you happy baby
Suggesting inquiry about the listener's happiness.
You think you need an upper
Implying a desire for a mood-altering substance (upper).
There is a difference between reality
Highlighting the distinction between reality and the desire for suffering.
And wanting just to suffer
Acknowledging the tendency to seek suffering willingly.
But when the lights come on
When faced with reality, logic becomes more challenging.
You find your logic seems just a little tougher
Suggesting a difficulty in rational thinking when confronted with truth.
Put your head on your shoulders, baby
Encouraging the listener to reflect or think.
Put it on
Reiterating the directive to put one's head on their shoulders.
When you decapitate
Metaphorically addressing self-destruction or recklessness.
Your world fits in the pockets
Suggesting a limited, confined worldview.
You see things just the way
Perceiving things according to personal desires and biases.
That you want to see
Plugging into external influences, possibly media or societal expectations.
You plug into the socket
Metaphorically connecting to a power source for influence.
Put your head on your shoulders, baby
Reiterating the directive to put one's head on their shoulders.
Put it on
Emphasizing the importance of the directive.
Before you get much older, baby
Encouraging the action before advancing in age.
Put it on
Reiterating the urgency of putting one's head on their shoulders.
Said are you happy baby
Repeating the initial inquiry about the listener's happiness.
You think you need an upper
Reiterating the desire for a mood-altering substance (upper).
There is a difference between reality
Restating the distinction between reality and the desire for suffering.
And wanting just to suffer
Reiterating the acknowledgment of seeking suffering willingly.
Put your head on your shoulders, baby
Reiterating the directive to put one's head on their shoulders.
Put it on
Emphasizing the importance of the directive.
Before you get much older, baby
Reiterating the urgency of putting one's head on their shoulders with advancing age.
Put it on
Reiterating the directive with a sense of urgency.
Put your head on your shoulders, baby
Reiterating the directive to put one's head on their shoulders.
Put it on
Emphasizing the importance of the directive.
Before you get much older, baby
Reiterating the urgency of putting one's head on their shoulders before advancing in age.
