I think it means you got hit on the back of the head more than fourteen times but less than sixteen!

The phrase is from a song by Radiohead called "Climbing Up The Walls". The word fifteen was probably chosen for the way it sounded with the other lyrics and the beat. Most of the places on the Internet that this is mentioned also follow with the next line of the song, "Fifteen blows to your mind"

Number fifteen will blow to the back of your head. Kind of explaining what any connection to number 15 will do to you.
Am confused now

Fifteen in this sentence is an adjective. It explains how many blows were given to the "back of your head" It does not mean "Fifteen" as a noun is blowing at your head!

that someone was hit on the head 15 times, or that someone or something called 15 blows the back of the head??

fifteen = 15
A paraphrase of the sentence: Strike the back of your head 15 times.

The number of blows. Why does this seem so difficult?

It's one more than fourteen, and one less than sixteen.
Is it really 'blows' you are asking about?
That means to hit , either with a fist or a pickaxe, or any other hard object.
