Losing My Mind
Love's Haunting Melody: Losing My Mind by Michael Ball
Lyrics
The sun comes up, I think about you.
The speaker begins the day thinking about someone they miss or desire.
The coffee cup, I think about you.
Even during routine activities like drinking coffee, thoughts are consumed by the person they long for.
I want you so
The speaker deeply desires the person they are thinking about.
It's like I'm losing my mind.
The intense longing for the person feels overwhelming, leading to a feeling of losing control or sanity.
The morning ends, I think about you.
As the morning progresses, thoughts about the person persist.
I talk to friends and think about you.
Even while socializing with friends, the individual's mind is preoccupied with thoughts of the person they want.
And do they know
The speaker wonders if their friends realize the mental state caused by their obsessive thoughts.
it's like I'm losing my mind.
The feeling of losing control or sanity continues due to the overpowering desire for the person.
All afternoon doing every little chore
Throughout the afternoon, the speaker occupies themselves with mundane tasks.
The thought of you stays bright
Despite the chores, thoughts of the person they long for remain vivid and prominent.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
At times, the speaker feels stuck or indecisive, unable to move forward in any direction.
Not going left, not going right.
They're metaphorically stagnant, not making any decisive choices or progress.
I dim the lights and think about you
The speaker creates an atmosphere conducive to reflection, all the while thinking about the person they desire.
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
Even at night, the speaker struggles to sleep as thoughts of the person persist.
You said you loved me
The speaker recalls the person's declaration of love.
or were you just being kind?
The speaker questions whether the person's expression of love was genuine or merely an act of kindness.
or am I losing my mind?
They question their own mental stability due to the overwhelming emotions and uncertainties.
I want you so...
Reiteration of the intense desire for the person.
All afternoon doing every little chore
Similar to earlier, spending the afternoon engaged in various tasks.
The thought of you stays bright
Despite the chores, thoughts of the person persistently occupy the speaker's mind.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Repetition of feeling stuck or unable to make a decisive move.
Not going left, not going right.
Metaphorical description of feeling directionless, neither progressing nor regressing.
I dim the lights and think about you
Creating an ambiance conducive to contemplation while thoughts of the person continue to dominate.
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
Struggling with insomnia due to persistent thoughts of the person.
You said you loved me
Recollection of the person's declaration of love.
or were you just being kind?
The speaker questions the sincerity behind the person's words of love.
or am I losing my mind?
Reiteration of the uncertainty and the impact on the speaker's mental state.
