Lyrics

Everybody thinks my head's full of nothing

People perceive my mind as empty or lacking substance.

They wanna put their own special stuff in

Others want to impose their own ideas or beliefs on me.

Fill up the space with candy wrappers

They try to fill the void with trivial things like candy wrappers.

Keep out sex and revolution

Attempting to keep away aspects of life such as sex and revolution.

But there's no hole in my head

Contrary to belief, there is no emptiness or vulnerability in my thoughts.

Too bad

Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.


They call me a dupe for this and the other

People label me as easily deceived or manipulated.

Call me a puppet on a string

Described as a puppet controlled by external forces.

They don't know my head's full of me

Contradicting the perception by asserting self-awareness and individuality.

And that I have my own special thing

Emphasizing possessing personal uniqueness.

And there's no hole in my head

Reiterating the absence of emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Reiterating a sense of regret or disappointment regarding the misconception.


I have lived since early childhood

Reflecting on a lifetime spent understanding life's complexities.

Figuring out what's going on

Claiming knowledge about what is happening in the world.

I know what hurts, I know what's easy

Being aware of both pain and ease in life.

When to stand and when to run

Understanding when to face challenges and when to retreat.

But there's no hole in my head

Asserting that there is no emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.


So please stop shouting in my ear

Requesting others to stop shouting and allow for attentive listening.

There's something I wanna listen to

Expressing a desire to focus on something meaningful.

There's a kind of birdsong up there somewhere

Referring to a metaphorical birdsong as a positive and uplifting element.

Feet walking when I wanna run

Desiring freedom to move at one's own pace.

And there's no hole in my head

Reiterating the absence of emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.


Everybody thinks my head's full of nothing

Repeating the initial misconception that people think the mind is empty.

Try to put their own special stuff in

Reiterating the attempt to impose external ideas on the mind.

Fill up the space with candy wrappers

Continuing the metaphor of filling the mind with trivial things.

Kill out sex and revolution

Mentioning efforts to suppress aspects like sex and revolution.

But there's no hole in my head

Stating again that there is no emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.

No, there's no hole in my head

Reiterating the absence of emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.

There's no hole in my head

Emphasizing once more that there is no emptiness or vulnerability in the mind.

Too bad

Concluding with a repeated sense of regret or disappointment about the misconception.
