Turn Off My Mind
Unraveling the Midnight Tapestry
Lyrics
A penny for your thoughts
Asking for your thoughts, seeking your perspective
A dollar for your troubles
Willing to pay for your difficulties or problems
Pour me up a shot
Requesting a drink, possibly for coping or escaping
Fuck it, make it a double
Expressing a disregard for consequences, asking for a strong drink
It's four in the morning wherever you are
It's late at night, indicating a longing or connection despite distance
And my head spins around you but you're still so far
Feeling emotionally entangled yet physically distant from someone
I've been stuck on your line
Feeling emotionally trapped or fixated on communication with someone
I've been wasting my time
Feeling like time is being wasted on a specific pursuit or person
I wanna turn off my mind
Desire to stop overthinking or obsessing
I wanna turn off my mind
Reinforcing the desire to stop overthinking or obsessing
Got you on every side
Feeling surrounded or overwhelmed by someone's influence
And it's killing my vibe
Feeling that someone's presence is negatively affecting mood or energy
Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Deciding to disconnect mentally from overwhelming thoughts or feelings
Gonna turn off my mind
Reinforcing the decision to disconnect mentally
Turn off my mind
Reiterating the need to mentally detach
Turn off my mind
Continued emphasis on the desire to disconnect mentally
Turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
-Just about had it with the madness
Feeling fed up with chaos or stress
And the rat packs and the tactics and the practice
Referencing negative influences, pressures, and strategies
That it takes to get past this
Expressing the difficulty in overcoming these challenges
If I get lit can I last this
Questioning if coping mechanisms like intoxication can endure
If I run fast and unpack this
Wondering if quick actions or avoidance can resolve issues
Can I let like elastics
Questioning the flexibility to let go or release tensions
Can I let like elastics
-Small talk is cheap, gotta get me something
Desire for meaningful conversation or interaction
It's dry out here in the summertime
Feeling emotionally parched despite the summer season
Drink might be nice for a little longer
Suggesting the appeal of a cold drink for extended relief
Make it on ice
Desiring a drink served cold for maximum comfort
I've been stuck on your line
Continued sense of being emotionally trapped or fixated
I've been wasting my time
-I wanna turn off my mind
-I wanna turn off my mind
Reinforcing the desire to stop fixating or feeling overwhelmed
Got you on every side
-And it's killing my vibe
-Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Commitment to disconnect mentally from overwhelming thoughts
Gonna turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
Repeated emphasis on the desire to disconnect mentally
Turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
-Love only happens in the movies
Skepticism about the authenticity of romantic love
I only wish you really knew me
Expressing a desire for deeper understanding or connection
You think I'm sugar and spices
Perception of being misunderstood or misrepresented
You leave me to my devices
Being left to cope alone with one's thoughts or actions
I wish you could see through me (turn off my mind)
Wishing for transparency or understanding from someone
I wish you'd wanna do me (turn off my mind)
-My mind is unruly, my mind is unruly
Expressing the turbulent nature of thoughts and desires
I've been stuck on your line
Continued feeling of being emotionally trapped or fixated
I've been wasting my time
-I wanna turn off my mind
-I wanna turn off my mind
Reiterating the desire to disconnect mentally from overwhelming thoughts
Got you on every side
-And it's killing my vibe
-Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Commitment to mentally detach from overwhelming thoughts or feelings
Gonna turn off my mind
-Turn off my mind
