My Poor Brain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Verse 2]
When you are so far
I'm fallin' apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel I'm gettin' stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck!
Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Verse 2]
When you are so far
I'm fallin' apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel I'm gettin' stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck!
[Verse 3]
You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Outro]
Sometimes I wish that I could change!
I can't save you from my poor brain! Ready!
Ready! Ready, okay
You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Outro]
Sometimes I wish that I could change!
I can't save you from my poor brain! Ready!
Ready! Ready, okay

Genius Annotation
According to Dave Grohl, “This song’s an experiment with dynamics, whether it’s the lyrics or the sound of the song. It’s just going from dreamy vocals to screamy vocals and Jackson Five to Black Sabbath. Sling it all in there.” The lyrics are about someone being so in love with someone else that is has completely taken them over, and when they are apart it gets to their head.
