The Man In Your Head
Unveiling Dreams: The Intricate Palette of Desires in 'The Man In Your Head' by Matt Sterling
Lyrics
She's an artist
She possesses artistic qualities.
Anything you cook up, she'll garnish
She adds finishing touches to anything created.
Imagines a life she ain't started
She envisions a life she hasn't yet begun.
Has trouble with patience
Struggles with being patient.
She's far from complacent
Not content with the status quo.
I'm loving the way she surprises me
The speaker appreciates the surprises she brings.
Fills my eyes up with colors that I can't see
She brings vibrant colors to the speaker's perception.
Paints a picture of everything life could be
Creates an optimistic vision of life.
But I'm not in the palette
The speaker feels excluded from her world.
Keep searching for balance
Continues to seek equilibrium in life.
I just want to know
The speaker is curious about her perspective on him.
What did you see in me
Asks what she saw in him.
When you were falling
Reflects on her feelings when falling in love.
If I could choose, I would be
The speaker wishes to be the ideal version in her dreams.
The version you dreamed of instead, instead
Desires to be the man she envisions in her thoughts.
The man in your head, in your head
Repeats the desire to be the man in her head.
What did you feel with me
Asks about her emotions when interacting with him.
When we were talking
Reflects on their past conversations.
There's nothing new I could be
Expresses the speaker's limitations in being someone new.
To play in your world of pretend, pretend
Acknowledges the role of imagination in their relationship.
Be the man in your head, in your head
Desires to be the man in her head.
I don't even know
Expresses uncertainty about her expectations.
What you want from me
Questions what she wants from the speaker.
You always take some more
She consistently takes more from the speaker.
Leave me lifeless, then you show me to the door
Describes a cycle of emotional depletion.
That's the price, you say I'm lucky to be yours
She justifies the cost of being with her.
It's the way she surprises me
Reiterates the positive impact of her surprises.
Fills my eyes up with colors that I can't see
Continues to emphasize the vibrant colors she brings.
Paints a picture of everything life could be
Reiterates the optimistic picture she paints.
But I'm not in the palette
Expresses exclusion from her creative process.
Keep searching for balance
Still searching for balance in the relationship.
I just want to know
Curious about her perception of him.
What did you see in me
Repeats the question of what she saw in him.
When you were falling
Reflects on her emotions during their initial connection.
If I could choose, I would be
Expresses a desire to be the ideal version for her.
The version you dreamed of instead, instead
Repeats the desire to be the man in her dreams.
The man in your head, in your head
Reiterates the desire to be the man in her head.
What did you feel with me
Asks about her feelings during their conversations.
When we were talking
Reflects on the limitations of becoming someone new for her.
There's nothing new I could be
Acknowledges the imaginary nature of their relationship.
To play in your world of pretend, pretend
Desires to be the man in her world of make-believe.
Be the man in your head, in your head
Reiterates the desire to be the man in her head.
