Story Behind The Song
I was going through some really trying times in my life. It was incredibly hard to balance, face and deal with all that was happening around me. Sometimes it felt as if I were going to break inside.
Song Description
Recorded LIVE in ONE take in our garage/studio/rehearsal space. Came up with a riff and sound I really liked. The melody, words and music came all at once! I knew it was a 'strike while the iron is hot' type of moment and my brother and our drummer were all in our garage anyway...and always recording as we did, it was a quick and very brief run through of the 'basics' of the song (me and our drummer always had a great chemistry and knew what the other was going to do). did a quick level test of the few mics we had, hit the record button, and what is here is the only recording of this song. One take, all at once, live. nothing added or taken away. Very LIVE and raw feeling. One of my best. Was always proud of it. Besides being one of the very very few live & completely recorded songs, it had a Jake E Lee /Rhoades guitar sound that I always like to get and love as well as that LIVE Van Halen recorded style/sound that was captured on their first album.

Lyrics
Out Of My Head
Let's go
I got something to say today
Things aren't going my way
Look at me, what you see
Someone who's broken and torn
Taken all but my last breath
Inside nothing much left
Even in my dreams I run
But I just can't find the right door
Gotta hide gotta get away
Find a place for my head to lay
Get high get drunk today oh no
I'm out of my head
Everytime I turn around
Something there to knock me down
How much more can I take
Find the strength to get off the floor
Gotta hide gotta get away
Find a place for my head to lay
Get high get drunk today oh no
I'm out of my head
Hunts me down but I can't keep
Fighting back feeling so weak
Last battle too much pain
Make it stop, get out of the rain
Gotta hide gotta get away
Find a play for my head to lay
Get high get drunk today oh no
I'm out of my head
Out of my head
I'm out of my head
I'm out of my head
I'm out of my head
I'm out of my head
I'm out of my head
-End-
