In My Head
Lost in Echoes: Unspoken Memories of an LA Apartment
Lyrics
God I hate the traffic when'd it get so bad
Expressing frustration about worsening traffic conditions.
wait a couple years and then we'll see
Implying a suggestion to wait and see how things evolve over time.
my stereo is busted and my thoughts are fucking loud count the cars try not to think
Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts due to a broken stereo and noisy mind while observing traffic.
about who you're with
Trying to avoid thinking about the person the speaker is addressing.
and what you're doing
Avoiding contemplation of the actions or whereabouts of the addressed person.
oh but that just reminds me of
Recalling memories associated with the person.
that apartment in Los Angeles
Referencing an apartment in Los Angeles, possibly significant to the relationship.
I know we never really lived there but sometimes we did
Acknowledging the emotional connection to the apartment despite not physically living there.
in my head
Imagining or remembering scenarios involving the addressed person.
you always hated when i smoked cigarettes gave me shit til i fell asleep
Recalling criticism from the person about smoking cigarettes.
a box a soap to be better than my best
Striving to improve oneself, possibly influenced by the person's advice or expectations.
i think you stayed til you had to leave
Suspecting that the person stayed until circumstances required departure.
now i don't know where you're going
Expressing uncertainty about the addressed person's current whereabouts or plans.
and somehow
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the situation.
that just reminds me of
Continuing to connect current thoughts to memories of the Los Angeles apartment.
our apartment in Los Angeles
Reiterating emotional attachment to the apartment despite not physically living there.
I know we never really lived there
Repeating acknowledgment of not physically residing in the Los Angeles apartment.
but sometimes we did
Reiterating emotional connection to the apartment through memories or thoughts.
in my head
Continuing to emphasize the mental presence or imagination of being in that apartment.
in my head
Repetition emphasizing the mental space where memories of the Los Angeles apartment reside.
in my head
-in my head
-somehow that just reminds me of that apartment in Los Angeles
Associating current thoughts with the Los Angeles apartment, reinforcing emotional attachment.
I know we never really lived there
Reiterating the absence of physically living in the Los Angeles apartment.
but sometimes we did
Continuing to emphasize the emotional resonance of memories associated with the apartment.
in my head
Further emphasizing the persistent mental presence of memories tied to the Los Angeles apartment.
