Queens of the Stone Age – I Think I Lost My Headache

  General Comment:Sounds like a hangover, and trying to beat it with hair of the dog. The love is blind sounds like alcoholism, but I may just be seeing the whole thing through my life-goggles.

  General Comment:I think the annoying ass ending is part of giving you a headache or some sort of irony.
  
  Am i the only person that has had sex while the entire song played? :P don't know how I did that....
  I want to play it at bars on the jukebox but I would get shot I'm sure for the horns.

  General Comment:Absolutely correct lyrics:
  
  
  You know why
  They called and just let it ring
  No reply
  The door is open I swear
  Ain't no use in picking up
  You know why
  
  It's all my head I know
  So they tell me so
  Until my head explodes
  Into my head it goes
  
  Tastes so good
  Oh, but I knew it would
  Tastes so good
  Burn like a match house
  Medicate just to make you soft
  Love is blind
  
  Catch and release me
  What the hell were they thinking of?
  You know why
  
  It's all my head I know
  So they tell me so
  Until my head explodes
  Into my head it goes

  Song Meaning:I think this song,you'll be surprised to know, is about Josh Homme over coming the emotional breakdown that followed after he killed former Queens of the Stone age bassist, Nick Oliveri, with a screwdriver after he found Nick had been copulating with his bitch.Josh killed him in a fit of rage,drove out of town with the body in his trunk and buried it beside the motorway(it still hasn't been found yet). He then wrote this song to explain the brief emotional guilt that followed that night and how it came and passed like a headache. I think he got of likely with the murder by recieving like 24 hours of community service cause he made such a kickass song and also no one really agreed with Nick's antics i.e playing naked on stage and his foot fetish...but yeah there's a whole lot of meaning behind this song and all the shit u just read above is all relevant to it!!

  General Comment:ok...i dont think any of you guys have i right yet...the chorus is:
  It's all my head I know
  Or so they tell me so
  Until my head explodes
  until my headache goes.
  
  and that is correct.

    It's "Into my head it goes". Listen to him play it live on youtube, it's much easier to tell.

  General Comment:The only problem I have with this song is the ending. It's far too drawn out, in my opinion.
  
  Other than that, I like it very much!

  General Comment:For some reason I have always thought of this song as the periods of deep dissociation (an almost dream-like, numbed mental state) one can go into after periods of prolonged mental pain.
  
  It's like the intro is the pounding repeating thoughts and feelings of lethargy and misery, and then the guitar enters into a dreamlike, floating verse. I think this fits especially good with the first verse and the chorus, but it might as well be about drugs.
  
  This is just what it means to me anyway.
