Headlock Lyrics

Distant flickerings, greener scenery
This weather's bringing it all back again
Great adventures, faces and condensation
I'm going outside to 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, do 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

I'm 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
I'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

Can't make a 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 of Headlock?

Ever felt like you're holding yourself back? This track by Imogen Heap dives deep into that struggle. The lyrics tell the story of someone who feels stuck, their heart in a metaphorical headlock, held back by hesitation and fear. The protagonist in the song sees the potential in this person, urging them to break free and realize they are much more than their doubts. With vivid imagery and heartfelt repetition, the song is a warm, encouraging pat on the back to not let fear paralyze us, but to step into the light and embrace our true capabilities.
