Story Behind The Song
A man lusts after a beautiful character named "Koko Sass". He is intrigued by her mysteriousness and her "issues", yet he is plagued by his own issues. He realizes he can't love anyone else until he loves himself.
The female character can also be viewed as a figment of the singer's imagination. An idealistic woman who is in his "head".
Song Description
The song is driven by a fuzzy guitar riff. The first part of the verses is driven by the male vocal, kick drum and bass. The second part of the verses is characterized by loud, in-your-face guitars.
The chorus is hooky and catchy.
THe song features a bridge after the second chorus. This part attempts to sound like a futuristic, mechanical, robotic hard rock song, but without any synthesizers.
This bridge section is abrasive, sexual, and is followed by a much more serene, and calming part. The contrast between the two parts is similar to the contrasting dynamics between other parts of the song, and mixed feeling of the song's characters.

Lyrics
V1-A
Koko's lost when she's found
She's lost in my head
V1-B
She keeps her place in mind
Somehow
I keep my space then I'm fine
For now
C1
She's in my head I know
I'm alone inside my head
Want to save her soul
But I need to save myself
V2-A
See the cut it runs so deep
She's a walking symphony
V2-B
Grow, change, love
All I see
Grow, change, love
Just breathe
C2
She's in my head I know
I'm alone inside my head
Want to save her soul
But I need to save myself
She's in my head .....
In my head (repeated)
