Headstand

'Headstand' by Failure is an alternative track on the 2021 album 'Wild Type Droid'. The lyrics look like a pleading return, with sunlight and dust setting a weary mood, and a promise to keep trying, culminating in the line “I've always been your headstand”. There is a sense of intimate support and impatience too, as the address keeps asking for one more time and for the other person to come back again. The song’s imagery turns domestic objects into a kind of shared routine, even as it keeps circling the same emotional ask.
