A migraine is a disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that are moderate to severe. Studies have shown that migraines and depression are linked. Here, Tyler Joseph uses a migraine as a metaphor for there being something wrong with the world even if he can't figure out what. I-I-I I've got a migraine And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways Thank God it's Friday cause Fridays will always be better than Sundays Cause Sundays are my suicide days I don't know why they always seem so dismal Tyler explained to Kerrang: "The hurt is your body telling you something else is wrong. Your body gets your attention through pain."

Tyler Joseph wrote the lyrics long before he penned the music to go with it. He told Rock Sound magazine: "You can psych yourself out when you write the poetry first and then you just fall in love with the way that you said this thing. Then you're worried about the song part of it that's going to go with it and you're very protective of it, almost defending it. I'm really excited that I found the right song for it and it's one of my favorite ones to deliver live."

This was originally included on the Three Songs EP, released in the summer of 2012, which also included the tracks "Guns for Hands"and "Ode to Sleep."
