Head First Lyrics by Knox, explores the struggle of trying to change while repeatedly falling back into old, self-destructive habits. The artist talks about putting on a brave face and pretending to be okay, but deep down they still chase temporary highs and ignore their own patterns. Despite wanting to improve, they often blame others, avoid self-reflection, and feel stuck in a cycle. In the end, they accept their flaws and embrace the fall, going “head first” into whatever comes next.

Head First Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Swear I’m doing better
Yeah, I’m cleaning up this time
Started getting it together
Telling everyone I’m fine
[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s a part of me that doesn’t wanna change, keep chasing highs
And the part of me that doesn’t learn keeps burning second tries
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna live like this again
Always tell myself that it’s the end
Always gonna fall right back to it
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down, yeah
Always be the one I’m gonna blame
Never look at myself face to facе
I feel like I’m dancing on my grave
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down
I’m going hеad first
[Post-Chorus]
If I’m going down, I’m going head first
[Verse 2]
I’m never getting it together
Yeah, I love it when it hurts
And I’m only feeling better
Yeah, when I just let it burn
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a part of me that doesn’t wanna change, keep chasing highs
And the part of me that doesn’t learn keeps burning second tries
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna live like this again
Always tell myself that it’s the end
Always gonna fall right back to it
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down, yeah
Always be the one I’m gonna blame
Never look at myself face to face
I feel like I’m dancing on my grave
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down
I’m going head first
[Post-Chorus]
If I’m going down, I’m going head first
[Bridge]
And I push it away, chasing runaways
Make another bad mistake ’cause I’m feeling lonely
I’ll push it away to another day
Feel like I don’t know me
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna live like this again
Always tell myself that it’s the end
Always gonna fall right back to it
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down, yeah
Always be the one I’m gonna blame
Never look at myself face to face
I feel like I’m dancing on my grave
So if I’m going down, then I’m going down
I’m going head first
[Outro]
If I’m going down, I’m going head first
