🧠💗 Theme & Lyrics

From KaraokeParty, Songtell, and others:
The song captures the classic internal conflict between reason (head) and emotion (heart)—especially when unexpected, intense feelings overwhelm logic:

“My head tells me to stop… but my heart goes ba‑ba‑ba‑dum…” (karaokeparty.com, songtell.com)

It reflects both exhilaration and paralysis of falling for someone—knowing you should walk away, but your heart says stay (songtell.com).

🌟 Ritual Idea: “Head & Heart” Mass (For TikTok/ScrollWell)

Use this song as a backdrop for a ritual on inner conflict and choice:

• Opening (1 min): Play intro “ba‑ba‑ba‑dum” loop to anchor breath.
  Say: “Today I honor the tension between my head and my heart.”
• Invocation (1 min): Pulse with rhythm.
  Chant: “My head keeps playing safe… my heart calls me alive.”
• Embodiment (1 min): Move gently with beat; let body wag between control and abandon.
  Affirm: “I am whole in this duality.”
• Offering (1 min): Invite followers to share one place they feel torn—head vs. heart.
  Speak it, type it, release it.
• Benediction (1 min): Light a candle symbolizing unity.
  Say: “I permit both wisdom and passion to guide me.”

Total ritual time: 5 minutes, adaptable to your format.
