In My Mind
Discovering Freedom: The Amazons' Reflections on Independence in 'In My Mind'
Lyrics
No you can't reach me on my phone
No availability for communication via phone.
No you can't see me, 'cause I'm better off alone
Desire for solitude, feeling better alone.
Don't have the strength to carry on
Lack of strength to continue.
Don't have the guts to let you know what's going on
Unable to express the true situation or feelings.
Baby, in my mind
Despite physical separation, thoughts persist.
I've begun to realise
A realization is dawning upon the speaker.
Baby, in my mind
Reiteration of thoughts existing in the mind.
You're not the one I need
The person is not the essential requirement.
Baby, in my mind
Contrast between mental and visual perception.
But you're everything I see
Despite not needed, the person dominates thoughts.
I wanna love, it's not enough
Yearning for love but realizing it's insufficient.
You've got me crawlin' back forever, baby
Returning to a relationship despite inadequacy.
It's not a question of what's wrong
Issues are not about identifying what's wrong.
It's not a question, girl I know I led you on
Acknowledgment of leading someone on.
When I'm afraid to be alone
Fear of solitude and avoidance of being alone.
When indecision comes to call, I know we're done
Realization that the relationship is over.
Baby, in my mind
Reiteration of the emerging realization.
I've begun to realise
Acknowledging the evolving understanding.
Baby, in my mind
Confirmation that the person is not essential.
You're not the one I need
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for the person.
Baby, in my mind
Mental conflict between realization and visual impact.
But you're everything I see
The person remains a constant mental presence.
I wanna love, it's not enough
Love is desired but recognized as insufficient.
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby
Continued return to an inadequate relationship.
Yeah, baby, in my mind
Reiteration of the mental realization.
I've begun to realise
Acknowledgment of the evolving understanding.
Baby, in my mind
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for the person.
You're not the one I need
Mental conflict between realization and visual impact.
Baby, in my mind
The person remains a constant mental presence.
But you're everything I see
Contrast between mental and visual perception.
I wanna love, it's not enough
Mental conflict between love and its inadequacy.
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby
Persisting in an insufficient relationship.
Crawlin' back forever baby
Continued crawling back to an inadequate relationship.
Crawlin' back forever baby
Reiteration of the continuous return.
I wanna' love, it's not enough
Desire for love, but recognition of its insufficiency.
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby
Continued return to an inadequate relationship.
(Crawlin' back forever)
Final emphasis on the perpetual return.
