“TV Head”, by Elliot Lee, is about the struggles of trying to make yourself look like something you’re not, happy, in this case. Elliot talks about the lies she tells others in order to make herself look like she is a content person, when in reality she is barely getting by in life.
[Verse 1]
I wear a TV screen on my head, play the happy channels
Channel happy thoughts, make the people happy
(I'm not happy)
Flip dials, try to tune the mind I'm holding hostage
Never mind, I lost it
(Stop It!)
I'm a crazy, people
Showing people what they wanna see on a TV screen so they'll face me
I feel the static in the air I breathe
It's getting harder to keep holding up this TV
[Chorus]
Got a TV head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "Always try to look your best
Always try to look your best, TV Head"
[Verse 2]
Instead of looking like I feel, making everybody wonder
Should I even be here anyway?
Cuz when the only thing that's real is the meaning hidden under what I try to write on the page
Maybe that's why I'm here
They need me
I feel the static in the air I breathe
It's getting harder to keep holding up this TV
[Chorus]
Got a TV head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "Always try to look your best
Always try to look your best, TV Head"
[Bridge]
I'm happy on the outside
But dying on the inside baby
I'm happy on the outside
But dying on the inside baby
(Save me!)
I'm happy on the outside
But dying on the inside baby
I'm happy on the outside
I'm happy on the outside
*Scream*
[Chorus]
Got a TV head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "Always try to look your best"
Got a TV head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "Always try to look your best, TV Head"
