Get You off of My Mind
Unshakeable Echoes: Dori Freeman's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Can't you just admit, it's grown hard to ignore
Difficulty in ignoring the situation or feelings
I've been barking up your tree, you're knocking at my door
One person's persistent pursuit while the other is receptive
Pretty little bluebird, sitting in a tree
Reference to a delicate, attractive, innocent presence (metaphorically symbolizing someone)
Without even asking, you sang your song to me
Symbolic action or gesture of sharing feelings without expecting anything in return
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Expressing frustration or confusion about inability to stop thinking about someone
Waded in the water, breathed the mountain air
Engaging in nature-related activities to find mental peace or solace
Tried to cleanse my mind of you, but you're still swimming there
Struggling to eliminate thoughts or memories of the person
Do you find it comfortable, roaming through my head
Wondering if the person is comfortable in the speaker's thoughts
Going through the catalogues of things we left unsaid
Recalling and contemplating things left unsaid or unresolved
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Repetition of frustration or confusion about persistent thoughts of someone
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle of not being able to forget someone
Seeds do often scatter, taking root unknown
Metaphor for scattered feelings or emotions taking root unexpectedly
Asking no permission, they paint the ground and grow
Emphasizing the natural progression of emotions without control or consent
Soaking up the sunshine, swaying in the breeze
Enjoying positive experiences that bring thoughts of the person back
Make you second guess your heart, and bring you to your knees
Causing doubt and emotional impact, leading to vulnerability
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Continued frustration or confusion about persistent thoughts of someone
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle of not forgetting someone
Now why can't I get you off of my mind
Repetition to emphasize the inability to stop thinking about the person
