Headstrong Lyrics | Trapt

Circling your, circling your, circling your head,
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth, I got doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I’m out
See you later
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that’s over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

[Chorus:]
Back off I’ll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we’re headstrong
Back off I’ll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can’t give everything away
I won’t give everything away

[Verse 2:]
Conclusions manifest, your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you’re full of shit, and that’s alright
That’s how you play, I guess you’ll get through every night
Well now that’s over
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that’s over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I know, I know all about [x3]
I know, I know all about your motives inside, and your decision to hide

[Chorus]

Song Interview with <anonymous>

When did you first hear this song? Cruising through the mean streets of Provo, Utah with my main man, Gene, in his crappy GMC suburban. Being the true thugs that we are, we had the radio jacked up all the way and one of the windows rolled down (the other was busted), much to the disdain of the elderly population of "Happy Valley", I'm certain.

What are your thoughts on this song? I love this song, it gets me psyched to take on the world even when things are going badly for me in my life. When I first heard it I thought that headstrong was someone's nickname and that they were singing about some guy who could take on anyone. It wasn't until later that I expanded my vocabulary and realized that headstrong was, um, an adjective. Embarrassed as I was, I must admit that I also was inwardly satisfied, because deep down inside, I always thought that I could take down "headstrong", whoever he was. ;)

What is your favorite line from this song? Line 8 from the chorus. It ain't "I think that you are wrong", it's I KNOW that you are wrong. Not an opinion. Fact. This line could be the anthem of self-absorbed egomaniacs all across the world who feel they are being wrongfully maligned by "the man" or "the establishment" or "mom". Fight reason with unreason, I say, and it is clear that Trapt agrees with me. Ultimately, that's all that matters, cause hey, they're the ones on the radio and we all know that the media doesn't lie. Seriously.
