Headlock ~ Lyrics

[AnimeChick2015]

So I'm pretty slow so could someone explain to me what this song means? :) I like it! thank you :3

[randomluxray]

@AnimeChick2015 I understand it as a girl talking to a guy who isn't/doesn't want to be in touch with his feelings, and she's saying he could be better then that. And maybe that they've known each other for a long time and she remembers him being fun and the two of them enjoying life together. I think haha.

[AnimeChick2015]

@randomluxray Sorry it's been so long! Thanks now I understand :D

[randomluxray]

@AnimeChick2015 Don't worry about it haha, and you're welcome :)

[TCjustlovinmusiq]

Simply hypnotizing sound, nice voice. The metophoric lyrics are great. When I found this song, I wished I was a ballet dancer. It sounds like it would be perfect for that. GREAT SONG!!!

[FunStuff141]

i love Imogen Heap her voice is soo gentle and i love this song cuz its more like out there and less soft

i dont know how to explain it :D

[joewu1981]

lol whats a head lock?.... it's a metaphor, the video has the lyrics?... If your still trying to figure out what a head lock is... your already in one.

[Xodarap777]

@joewu1981 Hey genius, I think the person asking what a headlock is isn't a native English speaker. Even English speakers could easily miss the "held down" aspect of the metaphor if they aren't aware that it's a fighting move that restricts one's movement considerably (and painfully).

[Bleach0190]

This song is so awesome it grew a hand and clicked the like button.

[BeatleLover919]

@Bleach0190 ????????????????

[CupcakeLover1700]

She can sing REALLY good!

[PettyferJonasGirl]

3 people are Idiots

[buggiebby]

3 people got their hearts in a headlock

[hadesrocs]

looooooooooooooooove

[Elkykinz]

:D Love the song, and it was uploaded on my bday! Ftw. 

[Uruth1995]

don't know if anyone watches Bleach, but this song fits Byakuya to a T.

[tinkermagic]

I wish they can play this song on the radio in America we have AWFUL music why cant others singers like her get to shine this is an incredible song i cant stop playing this song its just that good all america knows is Justin bieber and lady gaga and keshia etc... they not the only singers in this world. Pandora radio brought me to this song I'm glad it did.

[KaelinaLuvsLomaris]

this is a great song! i first heard it when my cousin had it stuck in her head an asked me to look it up for her! it's great! i'm addicted to this song right now!

[LiterallyLogan]

Each song is like reading a new novel. It's amazing, yet each of them are full of surprises and continue bringing smiles to my face.

[crazywow11]

we dance to this song in dance class :)

[snowfairy385]

I just wanna say that I found this song from watching a Durarara!! AMV. GO ANIME FREAKS!!! *ehhem* Twilight? GO read a book that's not for fourth graders (I personally read that book in fifth grade).

[xPhantomhiveCompany]

i love this song

[NaruFanForEva]

I can so relate to this. My heart is in a headlock as we speak. I'm afraid to love because I've been hurt so many times. Someone's just gunna have to unlock the headlock cuz im not...

[alexthekit]

The music at the beginning reminds me of Silent Hill 2's Promise Reprise for some reason

[temari9922]

@alexthekit i agree

[yalinegurl1]

I read all the twilight books and saw all the movies. It was enjoyable for a period of time, but it's just so overrated nowadays, it's not worth all this tween fangirl obsession.

[yayaloves]

@yalinegurl1 ... wtf what dose fucking twilight have to do with the song??

[yalinegurl1]

@yayaloves

I saw a bunch of people commenting on how they can relate twilight to this song...annoying

[yayaloves]

@yalinegurl1 very

[Felicityfergun]

Whoaaaa ! i♥this song

[mysteriousblackgirl]

@Stewbone

Actually, Twilight is a pretty good series but....I'm tired to get tired of all this commotion around Edward, Jacob and other blah blah blah...

[Stewbone]

I'm getting a cd.  I need one!

[angelcute72]

I think this is her best song. XD i love it!

[igooog]

"*Music*" Win

[eedrale37]

headlock=head can't move (1)heartlock=heart can't move (2)=

no ambition, no pressing forward, no pursuance, =LISTEN 2 THE WORDS=IMOGEN HEAP IS SAYING THE MAN WHO SHE IS SPEAKING OF IS A WIMP AND KANT MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHUT HE WILL DO OR CAN DO. And she is trying to incourage him because she sees potential.

(don't wanna be a dik, but i had a girlfried who inaudibly song the same song.) MISS HER!!!

[Leafione]

haha love this song :D

[firelovesoccer]

awesome i love this song!

[kizzy1505]

she can hit any pitch you want her to! shes amazing! love this song!

[horsefreakforlife]

@Ifrah123 no your right

[musiczQT5]

love itttttt~

[acissejjessicah]

what does headlock mean, sorry im stupid? I tried to translate it but no can do?

[Ifrah123]

Well, headlock is a wrestling move. I don't actually watch or know anything about wrestling so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[swimmingdrummerboy]

@Ifrah123 a headlock is basically when the attacker grabs the victims head and clamps it in between the attackers ribcage and inner elbow. sometimes the attacker will punch the defender with his free hand. I know this because I am a first degree black belt

[Ifrah123]

@swimmingdrummerboy Ok, thanks.

First degree black belt, huh? That's really cool :)

[izzyGO52]

@swimmingdrummerboy That's really cool XD To be a black belt :D

[imurloser]

when someone puts u in a headlock, u can move. the person the some is talking about put their heart in a "head lock", not allowing it to move anywhere. their fear of loving has them in a heart headlock. make since? I'm not great at explaining things. =)

[Ifrah123]

Yes, it makes sense.

Thanks :D

[imurloser]

no problem =)

[LauraAnimeFan]

Headlock (I think....) is a restling move! xD I acually have no idea! :P

[HuskyOfTheWorld]

@acissejjessicah I know like a billion people have answered your question, but, In this song, I think she means ''Headlock'' like.... as in saying his heart is caught inbetween two poeple, like to people like him, and he doesn't know who to chose, and so she doesn't believe him,

[eatslepplove201]

@acissejjessicah its like a wrestling move thing, and its when you put someone's head in your arm. I'd show you but I can't... haha!

[ToxicSonata]

There's some serious ownage going on in this song. xDD

[marizlovyall]

Jeg ELSKER den her sang, den siger mig noget det er helt vild!- helt super godt lavet Imogen

[wawawubbzy]

is imogen heap a chik or a dude???

[apakotur]

it's a woman ^^

[yalinegurl1]

@wawawubbzy

She is a woman.

[whutzat]

Dear God I looooooove this song so much!!!

*sniffles*

[Annabear615]

Why is everyone talking about Harry Potter and Twilight in the comments? e_e

Anyway, this is like one of my favorite songs. IMOGEN WINS! 8D

[nicciallie]

I like Imogen Heap,

she's very intelectual with her music.

I love it!

:D

[SilhouetteSymphonies]

What is this song about?

[Limen4]

yer mom ha ah jus kiddinq!!!! it is about them havinq someones heart in lock down. like if yer fiqhtinq and someone qet yew n a head lock tht is how they qet someones heart!!!

[kyannagirl]

Ifah123 Thank you so much for putting the lyrics up....THX 2 U I FINALLY GOT THE SONG MEMORIZED!

[Ifrah123]

LOL! your welcome :D

[GLAM0URx]

i am so addicted to this song right now!!

[kanopener55]

as am i :)

[mysteriousblackgirl]

Why on every song I listen, I need to read about that fucking Twilight? If you want to discuss about Twilght just go and listen to the soundtrack. Good grief, guys your hopeless. I dont understand what's gotta do this song with twilight.

[spinnykid1123]

well the people are just saying the song reminds them of the books/movies

[HarmonyBaronStep]

umm well... twilight would go great with this... and err.... your not a fan so you hate everything about it, true?

[mysteriousblackgirl]

No really. I read the books, watched the movies. Really enjoyed the books. But I'm getting tired of all the Twilight commotion. That's all.

[Ifrah123]

LOL! Wow, I haven't noticed this whole argument going on here... well, I think with the movies coming out and everyone already read the books, it's getting old, but people are still acting like it got published yesterday.

LOL! I have to say though, everytime someone says 'This has nothing to do with twilight' someone comments anyway. It's just giving it more publicity ;)

[kanopener55]

i will, and always have, HATE TWILIGHT!

[kanopener55]

totally ah-greed. OUT WITH TWILIGHT, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! or Harry Potter :D <3 sorry

[InSunshineInRain]

@kanopener55 yessss! harry potterrrrrr!

[kanopener55]

who doesn't love harry potter?! cuz if ur obsessed with it, then ur the sister/brother i never had!

[InSunshineInRain]

i am insanely obsessed with it! i can't see how anybody could not be!

[kanopener55]

yes! ur awesome :)

[InSunshineInRain]

why thank you! =)

[kanopener55]

you're welcome. though, i must give 100% credit to sexy watson from sherlock holmes :)

[sasusakui]

so true i'm partiallly a twilight fan but iatleast i kno how to talk about it else where

[EndlessCandieez]

@mysteriousblackgirl wtf this song is too good for twilight!

[Stewbone]

@mysteriousblackgirl  I hate twilight

[saharaxwolfie]

@mysteriousblackgirl

Finally somebody understands. Dx

[hawknose10]

@mysteriousblackgirl omg....this is in twilight?????? WHICH MOVIE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LIFE MEANS NOTHING ANYMORE!!!!

[TheVampireShinigami]

@mysteriousblackgirl I Know Right. I fukin hate Twilight. Every song I go listen too there always has to be a Tilight comment=.= annoying as hell! WTF is so "awesome" about Twilight!? I mean just a bunch of wanna be emo's or scene and shit. =__=

[katizzlexo]

I don't think any of us mean to be a total twilight fan. I don't like to admit it, but I am. hahah It is definently my guilty pleasure(;

[Ifrah123]

Aren't we all... ;)

[kanopener55]

i would be so guilty if i loved twilight. edward is ugly and only was put in that movie cuz he got famous from playing cedric diggory from HARRY POTTER!

[LovelyLoner72]

i don't mean to be the total twilight fan here but this song would be perfect for New Moon from Jacobs point of view towards Bella

[Ifrah123]

Hmmm, now that you mention it, it does match Jacob's perspective, especially the chorus and bridge :D

[CrumsNotAgain]

the firs time i heard this song after reading the books i thought this!!!!! =OOOO =)))))

lol

[mariarules11]

song=awesome

[dancegal101888]

this song is soo kool! :)

[KiddyBrucie15]

*music* hehe, that made me laugh a little :D i love this song. The beat is amazing and her voice is just plainly unique.

[ZeroTheHero010]

AWESOME!!!!

[ciccina9000]

:D stupenda canzone

[PurpleMysticDew]

This song is awesome :D So faving the video. Thank you so much for posting the greatest song ever!!

[Ifrah123]

your welcome :D

[Hablero]

Are you sure it's "Monitering"? I always heard "Imma a train you" Whatever

[Ifrah123]

yeah, i'm pretty sure it's monitering because you can actually hear the 'm' in the beginning of the word when you listen to it.

Anyway, it wouldn't make sense if it was 'Imma train you, like machines do.'

Whatever, it's no big deal.

[starlightmoon19]

this might sound really stupid, but are Frou Frou and Imogen Heap the same person because they look and sound similar. srry if this question sounds like a total waste of time but please answer back somebody.

[Ifrah123]

Yes, they are the same person.

[Crymz]

Technically they are the same person. Originally Frou Frou was Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth, but they went their separate ways in 2003 or something

[barefootcapegirl]

Hey thanks so much for this, she's so amazing but she doesn't have great articulation so I have trouble learning the lyrics to her songs without having them in front of me. :)

Just being pedantic, there were two spelling mistakes. 'Where' should be 'wear' (in 'wear a different pair') and it's 'monitoring' not 'monitering'. But that's just if you care about that sort of thing. :)

Thanks again!

[Ifrah123]

Oh, I really didn't notice, and I'm usually very particular about these kinds of things myself, so thanks.

[mattielaa]

wicked lovely.

[Royredfirelion]

lol itsnt that just silence? lol :D

[KelsieAndMicaelShow]

[Royredfirelion]

i think it make more sence if its cant but thats my opition

[SumireXnoXhana]

imogen heap's songs are all ah-mazing!!!

[wonderfullyXrandom]

its great how the lyrics match up with the timing of the song! i HATE when the timings all messed up!

[Ifrah123]

Thanks :D

[toyprofessor]

all of their songs are beautiful

[KingdomEllipsis]

By the way, at 2:39 I'm pretty sure she says "I'll make a start" instead of "Can't make a start."

[Ifrah123]

Really? I replayed it and it sounds more like 'Can't' instead of I'll.

[KingdomEllipsis]

To me, it sounds more like "I'll" instead of "Can't." Unless she happens to say "Can't" as "KAAAH." (Because, listening to it as if it was "can't" sounds like "kaaah" to me. Listening to it as "I'll" sounds like "I'll" to me.) As far as the song goes, it also makes a lot more sense if she's saying "I'll" as opposed to "Can't."

Matter of opinion/way you hear things, I suppose.

[dryycleaningg]

i love this song

[niave123]

what's the meaning of this song ?

it's SO weird ....but I like it

[Ifrah123]

I really don't know what the meaning is, but the song is still really good.

[KingdomEllipsis]

To me, it sounds like she is singing about a person she happens to have a crush on. However, the person she likes is too shy to come out and confess their inner feelings. But neither of them feel alive alone. That's what I interpreted this song as. :)

[bugzteen]

i think its about her boyfriend or something, i cant remember

[KayPictures]

It sounds like it's about moving on when you're heartbroken.

[BunnyChann]

I love this song. I think it's about a girl who has a crush on a boy who just came out of a rough relationship, and isn't ready to have another one. However, the girl thinks it's just an excuse, and that the boy is sinking inside himself.

Something like that. :)

[Niccirox909]

Omg i have never herd this song before i love it.

[mandylau12345]

itsa girl!

[summertime071]

[Reitsumapanta]

LOve this song!! I never get tried of it..

[SmegLeeds]

woow... BIGGG difference to Mr Figz vers lmao

[Ifrah123]

I've never heard any other version other than this, but I guess it's really different.

[newsiesmashed]

Haha true. I Think the Mr Figz version ruined the song.

[Ifrah123]

Well, I listened to it and it's not that bad, but you can't really hear what she's saying.

[BADxBWOIxAKY]

yoooo g respct 4 puttin dis up nw i knw wa da hell shez sayin insted of humming anytin lol

[Ifrah123]

umm... sorry, but what are you saying?

[BADxBWOIxAKY]

lmao (laughing my ass off) erm i guess you are not from the U.K? basically i thanked you for putting the lyrics for this song up... because if you have heard the niche remix of headlock you would not understand what she is saying lol (laugh out loudly)

[Ifrah123]

No, I live in North America somewhere. And your welcome, but that was a strange way of saying thank you :)

Don't worry, I have the basics of chatting language, so I do know what lol and lmao means, but there are still things I wonder about:)

[scarblade808]

He's speaking an alternate version of "English"... it's "Engrish". ^^

[Ifrah123]
