“Messing With My Head” and “Streetlights” by Fletchr Fletchr

 

    We chanced upon “Streetlights” and were comfortable with concluding that it was the strongest single from Fletchr Fletchr. Not true! “Messing With My Head” is even stronger. Both tracks feature deep and engaging vocals and guitar flares. And both will be on the EP “On The Island We Call Home,” which is scheduled for release on August 21, 2026.
 
       Messing With My Head” is about breaking away from the internal struggle of self-doubt and playing self-defense against attacks from within. The lyrics personify the source of the attacks. Our favorite verse is:
I've watched your game of whispers
Twisting every word that has been said
And I hate you and the way you
Turn every good thing into a mess
 
     The song is the slightly cleaner version of ““Fucking With My Head.” Fletchr Fletchr is based in Berkhamsted, UK. The members are Adam Sanders (lead guitar), Rohan Fletcher (vocals, guitar), Oli Williams (drums), and George Green (bass).

Lyrics of “Messing With My Head” by Fletchr Fletchr
I've seen you in the morning
Lurking round the bottom of my bed
I've heard you spreading rumors
Putting thoughts in everybody's head
 
I've watched your game of whispers
Twisting every word that has been said
And I hate you and the way you
Turn every good thing into a mess
 
You're messing with my head
And taking all my breath
And I've got nothing left
I'm stuck in self defense against myself
I know myself the best
Stop messing with my…
Playing with my…
Messing with my head
 
Well, I've seen you in the evenings
Rubbing salt in wounds that you create
I've heard you in the distance
Mocking me for all of my mistakes
 
I feel you on my shoulder
Every single second of the day
And I hate you 'cause I gave you
Everything you need to make me break
 
You're messing with my head
And taking all my breath
And I've got nothing left
I'm stuck in self defense against myself
I know myself the best
Stop messing with my…
Playing with my…
Messing with my head
 
Just give it a rest
Give me break
Gimme some hope
Take all the weight
Off my chest
And out of my home
Stop taking my breath
Get out my head
And leave me alone
 
You're messing with my head
And taking all my breath
And I've got nothing left
I'm stuck in self defense against myself
I know myself the best
Stop messing with my…
Playing with my…

Messing with my head
And taking all my breath
And I've got nothing left
I'm stuck in self defense against myself
I know myself the best
Stop messing with my…
Playing with my…
Messing with my head


     “Streetlights” looks at a night with a love interest of a faltered relationship. The highlight of the track resides with the vocals in the final minute.

Lyrics of “Streetlights” by Fletchr Fletchr
Did the streetlights turn on just for us?
Did the bar close just to tell us that we′ve had enough?
 
When we got so high in the city
Felt like there was no time when you're with me
Now you got no time, you′re so busy
I wonder if you think about the night
That we got so high in the city
Stayed up 'til the sunrise, was so pretty
Now you got no time, what a pity
I wonder if you think about the night
 
When the streetlights
When the streetlights
When the streetlights
Turned on just for us
 
It's always the same with us
When will we learn to talk it out?
Instead of "We messed it up"
Nothing has changed because you don′t wanna talk about
 
What we′ve become
So why is it at 2 in the morning you keep calling my phone?
And saying you miss me, you're lonely, you′re sorry
You can't stop thinking about
 
When we got so high in the city
Felt like there was no time when you′re with me
Now you got no time, you're so busy
I wonder if you think about the night
That we got so high in the city
Stayed up ′til the sunrise, was so pretty
Now you got no time, what a pity
I wonder if you think about the night
 
When the streetlights
When the streetlights
Oh, when the streetlights
Turned on just for us
 
When the streetlights
When the streetlights
Oh, when the streetlights
When the streetlights
Turned on just for us
