Annotations and Meaning:

The lyrics to "Headaches" by Raveena find one within a romantic relationship filled with intoxicating toxicity. This song starts with a point of reluctancy. The protagonist had not intended in the first place to fall in love but has been hooked by an "amusing" one who craves him. The imagery "from the same bottle of something sweet with danger in it" would express the drawnness toward summer love affairs best as "OJ and soda.
The background chorus opens up the deeper conflict: "I'm giddy with headaches." Here, the metaphor is love causes emotional upheaval and disorientation. Mention of needing a medic would relate to the need of healing or something that would make the pain go away, and asking the partner to "stay still" while feeling so volatile would really emphasize wanting consistency in the face of chaos.

As the song progresses, the dynamics of their relationship are further explored. These lines of the song "She's the kind of girl who will fuck you up / I'm the kind of girl who will love too much," in fact, present a dichotomy between two opposite extremes: self-destructive tendencies and the propensity to love very deeply. This is made sharp by the memory of intimate care, wiping away a lover's tears who compared wanting endless care and infinite space with a hunger for the nearness of both closeness and freedom.

At the return of the chorus, it just reemphasizes the returning struggle between the mind and the heart of what they would want to protect vs. the wild, irrepressible nature of their feelings. "Lipstick on my neck" stands as concrete love, which is a reminder of the love and a mark very difficult to forget.

Finally, one visualizes the world without sunsets with a partner in another extreme tale of how much one would lose in life. The fact that the absence of beauty and closure in their life without the other person might run very deep goes on to show that their connection might be very strong, despite the troubled nature.
