In this song, Derek dwells on how being a successful artist has given him the “big head I got”. However, this big head has lead to his demons becoming more prominent in his life.
[Chorus]
Carry on, that's that bag on me
Carousel, I've been spinnin' for a week
Life a dream, I see nightmares when I sleep; so I don't sleep
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
[Verse 1]
Space out no cadet, might just cut the checks (cut the check)
Moon rocks on my breath, yeah that's one small step
T to F, MGs Percocets, empty like a net
Know me I float like Boba Fett, float like Boba Fett
Came too far to lose it all on you now
Get a clue now, earthquake when I move 'round
Too damn big, so my head don't got no room now
And every demon that lived in it got a room now, wow
[Chorus]
Carry on that's that bag on me
Carousel I've been spinnin' for a week
Life a dream, I see nightmares when I sleep; so I don't sleep
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
[Post-Chorus]
Should I let you in my head for so long, so long
[Verse 2]
I push people away
Can not let anyone near me
And even happy to scar
I'm like it's only a win
Try not to big head a lot
But that's the big head I got
Don't even get me a hat
That shit won't fit at all, that shit won't fit at all
Out with my head on the wall, I do not kneel to a crown
So if you go run with the dogs, please just make sure I fall
I did not want it this way, big head just want me to bow
Guess I got no one to blame
Big head could never be small
[Chorus]
Carry on that's that bag on me
Carousel I've been spinnin' for all week
Life a dream, I see nightmares when I sleep; so I don't sleep
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
[Outro]
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
Big head weigh you down
Big head safe and sound
Big head wear the crown
Watch you come around
