Teenage Headache Dreams

Teenage Headache Dreams
"Teenage Headache Dreams" is a dreamy collaboration between Mura Masa and Ellie Rowsell from Wolf Alice. The song finds the pair looking back at a teenage romance, wondering if such escapism is healthy. Teenage headache dreams Come back to me at night And try as though I might to live for now I don't know how, I just feel down Masa said: "It's possible to feel happy even if it means relying on something that isn't necessarily true, or is half-imagined, or might not even have happened at all."
Masa's wrestling with the emotional crutch of nostalgia is a theme that runs throughout R.Y.C. "I think it must be some sort of reptile brain thing where it's like, 'Well, if I try and remember a good time, maybe that means there will be another one,'" the producer told The Guardian .
Mura Masa is best known for his electronic productions, but here he plays a spread of typical rock band instruments fueled by his childhood obsessions with bands such as Blur, Joy Division and Talking Heads. He told Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 radio show this was an attempt to "reflect this otherworldly idea I have about the music I grew up with." He added that he wrote the lyrics very quickly. "It felt like I was speaking from the heart about what it feels like to be caught up in the cycles of nostalgia, and how it feels to grow through that."
Masa had never met Rowsell before, but he reached out to her as he felt she was the perfect person for this track. He told Dazed Digital : "I had already written the first verse and the main bones of the song, and then she came in and wrote her verse as well. I think it slots in perfectly."

Mura Masa, Ellie Rowsell & Wolf Alice Lyrics

I want to be free
Remember how we used to be?
Sit at home and dream
Stare at each other like TV
Teenage headache dreams
Come back to me at night
And try as though I might to live for now
I don't know how
I just feel down
Teenage headache dreams
Seems like the good time's over
But nothing's really over anymore
Just take control

I want to be free
Romanticize reality
Reminds me what it means
To be me
Teenage headache dreams
I'd give up on the fight
To try as though I'd like to leave the moment
I don't know how
Teenage headache dreams
Up all night
To taste life twice
When I think back again
And back again

She rests her head on my shoulder
Blue
Just like always
Teen movies, older too
She softly spoke the words
Is it gonna be okay?
What the hell am I gonna do today?
I'm like a runaway train and I
Try to explain
It has to be
Just try and see tomorrow
You'll look back fondly, I promise

Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
Up all night
To taste life twice
Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
And try as though I might to live for now
