My Mind
Echoes of Love Lost: Dani Miché's 'My Mind' Unraveled
Lyrics
You, you’re the first thing I think of the last thought before I can sleep
You constantly occupy my thoughts, being the first and last thing I think of before sleeping.
And just when I think that you’re gone you come back in my dreams
Even when I believe you’re absent from my life, you appear in my dreams, disrupting my thoughts of moving on.
I don’t know what to do when I close my eyes I’m faced with you
I struggle when I try to escape thoughts of you; closing my eyes brings your presence to my mind.
I, thought I burned all my bridges and left it all back in the past
Despite attempting to leave the past behind, memories of our time together persist and affect my emotions.
But the memories locked in my mind keep on playing with my heart
The memories stored in my mind continue to emotionally impact me, causing inner turmoil.
Totally in denial, but I’ll face the truth in a little while cos,
Though I deny it, I acknowledge that I will eventually confront the truth about my feelings.
You’re right there in front of me
You are visibly present in my surroundings.
I’m too scared, so I don’t breathe
I'm too afraid to face my emotions regarding you, resulting in a sense of breathlessness.
It’s been months, could be years
The duration of time since our separation is uncertain; I've lost track of it.
But I’ve lost track and I’ve lost tears
I've become disoriented and have shed countless tears due to this emotional turmoil.
Out of sight
When you're not physically present, it's presumed that you're also absent from my thoughts.
Means out of mind
Traditionally, when something is out of sight, it's supposed to be out of mind, but this doesn’t apply to you.
So why can’t I get you out of mine
Despite the saying, I can't seem to remove thoughts of you from my mind.
Out of sight
Reiteration of the concept that being out of sight should lead to being out of mind, yet it’s not the case here.
Means out of mind
Despite being physically apart, thoughts of you persist within my mind.
So why can’t I get you out of mine
Continuation of the theme that separation should lead to detachment, yet thoughts of you persist.
You’re on my mind
You are a prevalent and persistent presence in my thoughts and consciousness.
You’re on
Emphasizing the continuous and unyielding nature of your presence in my mind.
You are, You are on my mind
Repeated emphasis on how your presence dominates and consumes my thoughts consistently.
You are, You are on my mind
-You are, You are on my mind
-You are, You are on my mind
