Lyrics:
There’s a leak in this boat
Someone toss me a rope
And a headrest for my, headrest for my soul
There’s a leak in this boat
How the hell will I float
With this headrest for my, headrest for my soul
I got a headrest for my, headrest for my soul
Let the whispers unfold
And darling do what you’re told
Headrest for my, headrest for my soul
If the hospital burns
If it’s really my turn
How the hell will I, How the hell should I learn
There’s a leak in this boat
Someone toss me a rope
And a headrest for my, headrest for my soul
Give me that headrest for my, headrest for my soul
You know I got a headrest for my, headrest for my soul

This track is a perfect intermediate song. A nice slow, somewhat short song, really helps bring the whole album together.
You were on a Awol binge too, huh?
My favorite AWOLNATION song for sure
My fav on this album is the last song lol
I love this song and the meaning behind it
He's slowly sinking, filling up with water [read negative emotions] (Tears maybe..? Perhaps not that literal.) And is going to drown in them
Asking for help (Someone toss me a rope) because he can't go for much longer without the aforementioned sinking, and he *needs* someone to help him. Perhaps him being on the boat is a metaphor for him seeing himself (and maybe everyone) as always having to avoid the water?
This would be an appropriate metaphor, as it can show how difficult it becomes to stay afloat above the water when it gets stormy (Bad things happening in life). Then you can also speak about the difference in stability in any one persons boat and that attaching 2 boats together would increase that stability; and the more you had the more stable everyone would become (such as with friends and support networks in life). Following the metaphor often bad weather will break this group of boats apart along the weakest bonds, leaving all of the pieces smaller increasing the dependency on the bonds you do have, and therefore strengthening them or breaking them.
Certainly it can become a very 'deep' metaphor in the sense of how many layers it has, even to the point of having as many layers and being stretched as far as each individual cares to think about it, though they seem to get more tenuous the further you go in. Regardless, if this is what was intended then I think it's rather clever how it can be used to demonstrate more than a couple abstract concepts regarding the dangers of loneliness, isolation, and the necessity of closeness with others. I would like it to be true.
And then him asking for a headrest for his soul as well, says to me a need for a space where he can feel relaxed and safe and warm and not need to worry. In this way I think he's talking about home. His home. Whatever it may be, whether it's a person, a group of people, or a place. Some place that makes him feel calm. I haven't yet thought of a way this fits into the metaphor, maybe someones boat in particular I think(?) he's a married man, perhaps this is a song about how much he needs and appreciates his wife's support or if not it could be the support of anyone important to him. Or, perhaps it simply doesn't fit into the metaphor/the metaphor is wrong.
Though, this it just a theory I had. *I* don't even think it's very likely, but I liked the thought
good interpretation
***** i read it, and that's not a word
Man, what a difference. I haven’t heard this song in over a year?
Back in August 2015. This song was blasting on my laptop speakers while I was physically self-harming myself by aggressively slitting my wrists/arms with a razor, heavily intoxicated. My brother and sister had to picklock my door to try and turn down the music; only to find me bleeding on my bed, wasted as hell. They tended to me and told me the next morning. (didn’t remember doing that to myself) I had to get 20 stitches and admitted into counselling sessions. Anyway, if you’re suffering from any depression or thoughts of self-harm, GET HELP. I know how shitty it can get being alone with your feelings and loneliness. You may not see it, but you have friends and family who care about you.
I'm glad you got help and that you're still here💕 keep going
Glad to hear you got help. Your comment touched me, thanks for that. As an aspiring psychologist it‘s beautiful to hear from people like you getting such an important message out. So thank you!
I am amazed how hard it was to find, but I did, after I found out about the album, and after I set out to find every song. This comes to be one of my favorites, after the hunt to find it. Keep it up AWOLNATION, you keep me going.
wait i like this one
Damn this song is beautiful. Splendid album
Has a Megalithic feel to it, a nice, short reminder of where this all began
I love you. I love you so much.
This song tho!!!! ❤❤❤

Still here and wondering why these guys are so underrated as heck :/
Excellent song! 🎼🎼🎼🎵🎶
Head Rest for my Soul.

For everyone who's wondering, the "go" in the beginning is intentional.
favourite song guys! nice tune and makes me feel happy p.s love you spectrum between slow and rock-like songs :)
oh my god man. Lol I haven't listened to this album in a while and let's just say I have a specific favorite song and I can't find it cause they are all my favorite right now
already liked four songs from album :)
AWOLNATION!
Good music I really like 🔥🙂💓
really hoping they play this one in london on the 1st!!!!!
Pretty sure it was a "you know what... leave it in" kinda thing, 'cause even with simple audio editors quieting that would have been super easy. So most likely intentional.
ya i heard a "go" too at the beginning just right before he sung

+AAASteve if you listen closely you can here it lol
+AAASteve i dont hear shit xD
Aparently this is the song that breaks my internet
I feel like this song could be interpreted many ways, but I think the most obvious is that the song is about suicide. I absolutely interpreted it that way.
"There's a leak in this boat" could mean that his life is slowly falling apart. The boat represents his life and the waters he's sailing represents the journey he's made so far and the journey ahead of him. However, the leak is slowly ending his journey, and it's only a matter of time until it's over. The leak could represent something (or things) that is affecting his life, which leads to the next verse.
"Someone toss me a rope" implies that he's going to commit suicide. This fits in with the boat thing in the sense that he doesn't want his life to end slowly. If it's gonna end anyway, it might as well end now. Instead of waiting for the boat to sink, (his life to slowly come to a close), he's going to end it now. This leads to the next verse...
"And a headrest for my soul" could mean that he wants his soul to rest in peace. Even though he ended his journey early, he wants to ensure that his soul will be put to rest properly.
Wow, that's the first time I've done a song analysis. Pretty sure I got some of that right.
But usually when your boat is sinking and you ask someone for a rope it's because you want them to help you. This song makes me feel happy because I had a rough childhood and now that I'm grown and can choose my family, I can relax. The people who really love and care about me, they're the headrest for my soul. They're the ones who tossed me a rope when I was ready to sink.
+Susannah Bautista that's a great interpretation, and a much happier one at that. That's what I like about AWOLNATION and the like, their songs are meant to be thought about.
Don't blame you for the negative perspective, as it sure does seem to carry a melancholy tone...
+Tyler Sawinski "Toss me a rope" is a cry for help -something that suiciders do often. It is a cry for help, not asking for someone to help him end his life (you did not really flesh out that idea too much ....is that what you were implying?).
Well damn
🤟🌻💕
this the best song ever....i am fucking lovin it
This song is different
i thing the GO was unintentional but it actually doesn't make it sound bad
Anybody got that headrest? I could really use it right about now.
That one shitposter that lives under your bed dammit.
Anyone else think of Supernatural?
Just Get Some Duck tape Bro...
Duct
Is this about depression?
No idea, but I seem to feel understood with this song, and I have depression so it could be haha
It has different interpretations, but suicide and depression is one of them
The go is pretty noticeable. Intentional?
Isn't a headrest for your soul called a were or something?? Google it xD
Your pfp is my reaction to whatever the fuck you just said
I think I'm the only one in the world that hates this album. I am not a huge AN fan. I've actually barely heard any of their songs, but the ones I have heard were good. But I'm seven songs into the album and I've hated every single one. There is no tune to move to and there are random beats every now and then that don't fit. And then there is the fact of the repeated lyric lines that just get annoying. So I really don't like this album. But if you do, that's great.
I'm not asking this to be rude but why did you feel the need to share that?
Not sending you hate or anything, I just really want to know.
Katelyn Williams just sharing my opinion. everyone else loves it. so i thought i'd share the opposite view
Some fantastic bands have used repetitive lyrics in the past. Even excessively in some albums, it's just an artistic choice of simplification. It's okay to not like that though, music isn't supposed to please everyone's ears. It's nice if a lot of people like it, but obviously not everyone will like the same music.
AWOLNATION!
