all in my head
Love's Deception: Unraveling the Emotions in Kylie Muse's 'All in My Head'
Lyrics
Don't know why I turned a blind eye
Reflecting on not recognizing or acknowledging something obvious
Should've seen the writings on the wall
Should have noticed the warning signs or indications earlier
It was written in our story
The signs were evident within the narrative of their relationship
We were only ever made to fall
Their connection was destined to fail from the start
Let me tell you something
Introducing a statement to emphasize a point
You've been running round my mind
Thinking constantly about the person
The only time you go away is when I close my eyes
Only absent when one is asleep or not actively thinking about them
It hurts so bad to say it
Expressing emotional pain associated with acknowledging a truth
You were never mine
Realizing the person was never truly theirs
At least not in this life time
Suggesting a lack of belonging or connection in the present life
My glass was full till you knocked it over
Metaphorical representation of feeling emotionally shattered
You took all the best parts while I fell over
They thrived while the speaker suffered
All the shit that you said
Questioning the authenticity of past statements/actions
Was it all in my head, was it all in my head
Wondering if previous experiences were imagined or real
And if I wasn't yours
If the speaker didn't belong to the person
Guess that I don't need closure
Indicating a lack of necessity for closure if there was no initial connection
If we never started
Considering the absence of a relationship's beginning
Guess that we can't be over
Implies impossibility of ending something that never truly began
Was it all in my head, was it all in my head
Questioning the reality of past experiences
Was it all in my head
Reiterating doubt about the authenticity of past events
No we never had a label but we'll get our bitter end
No official commitment, but the relationship will still end unhappily
Cause it was pretty obvious that we were more than friends
Admitting the evident depth of the relationship beyond friendship
You played it off as nothing
Downplaying the significance of actions while repeatedly returning
You leave to come back again
Describing a cycle of departure and return
And I wish that I just didn't care
Desire to not care about the situation
But I just can't pretend
Unable to fake feelings of indifference
I've been hurting
Expressing emotional pain and suffering
Killing myself tryna make it work
Struggling to salvage the relationship
I've been drowning
Feeling overwhelmed and submerged emotionally
Tryna hold onto your empty words
Clutching onto promises or assurances that lack meaning
My glass was full till you knocked it over
Metaphorically referring to a shattered emotional state
You took all the best parts while I fell over
Emphasizing the inequality in the relationship
All the shit that you said
Questioning the sincerity of previous words/actions
Was it all in my head, was it all in my head
Wondering if past experiences were genuine or fabricated
And if I wasn't yours
Reflecting on a lack of belonging to the person
Guess that I don't need closure
Reinforcing the unnecessary need for closure if no belonging existed
If we never started
Contemplating the absence of an official start to the relationship
Guess that we can't be over
Implying an inability to end something that never began
Was it all in my head, was it all in my head
Revisiting doubts about the authenticity of past events
Was it all in my head
Reiterating uncertainty about the reality of past experiences
My glass was full till you knocked it over
Metaphorically referring to emotional shattering again
You took all the best parts while I fell over
Highlighting the one-sidedness of benefit in the relationship
All the shit that you said
Questioning the sincerity or reality of previous statements/actions
Was it all in my head, was it all in my head
Wondering if past experiences were imagined or genuine
