Straight Through My Head (DO IT!!!) Lyrics – Cavetown

Cavetown‘s barreling toward a fresh chapter with Running With Scissors, his sixth album hitting shelves January 16, 2026, on Futures Music Group, and Straight Through My Head (DO IT!!!) lands like a glitchy spark in the dark—fierce, unfiltered, and begging you to scream along.

This track explodes as the seventh cut, a two-minute burst of hyper-pop fury laced with emo edges that Cavetown’s been teasing in his live sets. It’s all warped synths, pounding drums, and those raw, frustrated screams bleeding into the outro, clocking in around 3:32 of pure catharsis. Robin Skinner, the mind behind it all, channels that bedroom-pop intimacy into something louder here, blending his signature tenderness with a sharp creative pivot toward noise and release. Lyrically, it’s a gut-punch on the rage that bubbles up from loving too hard in a world that pushes back—think lines wrestling with denial and defiance, all wrapped in that urgent “DO IT!!!” hook that feels like a call to arms for anyone who’s felt erased.

Tucked into Running With Scissors, the album’s a 13-track diary of risks and reinvention, kicking off with “Skip” and weaving through standouts like “Cryptid” for shadowy introspection, “Rainbow Gal” with its warm glow, and a collab-heavy “Sailboat” featuring Chloe Moriondo’s bright vocals. The full list rolls from “Baby Spoon” to closer “Running With Scissors,” hitting themes of messy love, societal anger (especially transphobia’s sting), and those quiet evolutions that make us who we are. It’s less a tidy concept album and more a snapshot of Skinner’s life right now—new relationship joys, family shifts, and that post-depression clarity.

Skinner’s at this electric point in his run, fresh off two years of healing and a move to New York that’s got him leaning harder into collabs—like Orla Gartland on “Tarmac” or Underscores adding flair to “Sailboat.” What started as lo-fi folk confessions has bloomed into bolder sounds, trusting his gut to mix silence with screams. This album feels like his leap, ditching safe zones for tracks that mirror how growth hurts but sets you free.
