In My Mind
Mind's Odyssey: Embracing Change and Finding Fulfillment
Lyrics
In my mind I think there’s something
The speaker believes there's something in their mind that they can alter.
I can change by where I stay
They feel they can affect this 'something' by changing their location or environment.
But I just got here yesterday
The speaker recently arrived, suggesting a lack of time for change to take effect.
And I don’t think it’d fill the space
Despite the change, the speaker doubts it would satisfy the emptiness they feel.
If I could fill it up, well then I’d have it made
They believe that if they could fulfill this emptiness, they'd achieve success or contentment.
And if I had it made, well then I’d want a change
However, even upon success, they anticipate desiring further change or improvement.
That’s the way it keeps going around
This cycle of seeking change and feeling unsatisfied seems perpetual.
In my mind I think I’m wasting every day down where I stay
The speaker feels they're wasting time where they currently reside.
But I don’t have a plan today
They lack a specific plan for the present.
And I don’t wanna make a change
The speaker is hesitant about making any changes.
If I could fill it up, well then I’d have it made
Similar to line 5, they feel fulfillment would lead to an ideal situation.
And if I had it made, well then I’d want a change
Even in an ideal state, the desire for further change persists.
That’s the way it keeps going around
The theme of perpetual dissatisfaction and seeking change continues.
Turn it all off if I need to
The speaker contemplates shutting everything down if necessary.
Go somewhere where I’m not see through
They wish to escape to a place where they won't feel exposed or transparent.
Tell myself that I’m better off here than if I was there
The speaker rationalizes that their current situation is better than being elsewhere.
Turn it all off if I need to
Reiteration of the idea of shutting off things if needed.
Go somewhere where I’m not see through
They desire a location where they can maintain privacy or anonymity.
Tell myself that I’m better off here than if I was there
They convince themselves that their current place is preferable to another.
If I could fill it up, well then I’d have it made
Similar to lines 5 and 11, fulfillment seems crucial for contentment.
And if I had it made, well then I’d want a change
Even in an ideal scenario, the craving for change persists.
That’s the way it keeps going around
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of seeking change and dissatisfaction.
