 Yes you are right and my first thought was listen to your head, but I looked it up on tureng site and it came up rest one`s head{#emotions_dlg.confused}

KAFA DINLENDIRMEK is an idiom that generaly means resting oneself, not only one´s head; usually in silence and seclusion.

KAFAYI YEMEK ?

KAFASINDAN GEÇMEK?

What interesting is "kafa" and "baş" look like they mean same but "kafasından geçmek" and "başından geçmek" have different meanings.

kafasından geçme: to think something

başında geçmek: to experience something

Meaningful lyrics from a Gülşen song for this structure:

 

Bu gece başımdan geçenlere değil,

Kafamdan geçenlere içtim.

Tonight, not for what I´ve experienced,

I´ve drunk for what I thought (considered, for the thoughts that made my mind busy).

thanks.
