Elverum sings about a bad breakup and its effects.
Elverum uses the story of the “headless horseman” as a metaphor for losing someone who was a big part of your life, which might feel like losing part of your body.
[Verse 1]
I got hit hard, I'm on the ground
And if you swing again I'll duck
But I wish you the best of luck
You deserve yourself
And I'll return from my trip to hell
As a headless horseman
[Verse 2]
'Cause, oh, what a loss
I went back to get my stuff
And it was tangled up and tough
I stood there and stared you down
And I walked aimlessly around
With a flaming pumpkin head
[Verse 3]
Oh, what a loss
My soft hands replaced by claws
You turned me into a stray dog
From a mighty human man
[Verse 4]
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
I miss my closest friend
And now I cling to rocks and wind
It's a precious thing we lost
