- Headlock Lyrics

Distant flickering, greener scenery
This weather's bringing it all back again
Great adventures, faces in condensation
I'm going outside and take it all in

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Wear a different pair, just something out of step
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile
With big intention, still posted at your station
Always on about the day it should have flown

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Afraid to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

(You've) been walking, you've been hiding
And you look half dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

(You've) been walking, you've been hiding
And you look half dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

You know you're better than this

Come back and start
Got your heart in a headlock
No I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Afraid to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

What is the meaning behind Headlock lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, the track 'Headlock' by Imogen Heap narrates the story of a person who feels stuck and is not willing to take the risk of starting something new, though he or she knows perfectly well that he or she is capable of more. The songwriter resorts to metaphors such as to have one's heart in a headlock to convey being imprisoned by fear of making a bold move but eventually recognizing one's own power and courage to get out of the prison of self-limitation. The lyrics of the song 'Headlock' mainly express heartbreak, angst, despair, empowerment, and inspiration. At the same time, the song highlights the role of self-doubt and the fear of starting over alongside the support and the promise of one's potential. The lyrics embody the themes of emotional conflict and inner self-discovery which perhaps are not suitable for very young children. Nevertheless, the song does not contain any explicit language, violence, or adult content that could justify a higher rating.
