The idea behind this song is that Headphone Girl knows that people are angry at her but she doesn’t get why. She sees their faces but she doesn’t hear them. This has happened to me many times – I’m not the best with headphones!
Headphone Girl (Excerpt)
Verse
Here it goes again, another cry for my attention
Mouths wide open spewing empty accusations
Once again staring at contorted faces
As the melodies drown their hollow declarations
Don’t really understand what I’ve done wrong
But they pull me from my music to break into the broken song
Here it goes again, another cry for my attention
Mouths wide open spewing empty accusations
Once again staring at contorted faces
As the melodies drown their hollow declarations
Don’t really understand what I’ve done wrong
But they pull me from my music to break into the broken song
Chorus
Headphone Girl, always tunin’ everybody out
Why ya always trying to avoid what we have to say?
Did we do you wrong? Do you have a petty score to settle?
Or is it just because no one cares what you have to say?
Whatever the case, the melodies you cherish won’t be your saving grace
So just take off the stupid headphones and embrace our howls
