Inside My Head
Reflecting on Lost Love: Inside My Head by The Connells
Lyrics
Inside my head I hurt a lot
Expressing emotional pain within one's mind.
'Cause I'm thinking about me
Feeling remorse and self-centeredness.
And what I did to you
Reflecting on personal actions that caused harm to someone else.
I can't imagine what I have lost
Acknowledging the magnitude of personal losses.
I'm not bold enough to be
Admitting a lack of courage to meet certain standards.
Man enough for you
Feeling inadequate for the person being addressed.
There's no way to save
Accepting the impossibility of resurrecting a shattered dream.
The dream that's dead
Referring to a dream that is now beyond revival.
The water has passed beneath us
Using the metaphor of water passing beneath a bridge to symbolize irreversible time.
On a bridge reaching down fro you.
Describing a bridge reaching down as a connection or opportunity that was missed.
Would you have been a movie star
Pondering on an alternate life path, possibly one of fame.
Or would you have been like me
Contrasting the hypothetical life with the speaker's own, feeling inadequate.
Nothing but a fool
Expressing a sense of self-deprecation and regret.
I can cry and hide and pray a lot
Describing attempts to cope through crying, hiding, and praying.
But there's nothing I can do
Acknowledging helplessness despite efforts to save a dream.
To save the dream for me
Emphasizing the inability to salvage the dream for oneself.
There's no way to save
Reiterating the impossibility of rescuing a dead dream.
The dream that's dead
Referring to a dream that is unattainable and lost.
The water has passed beneath us
Repeating the metaphor of passing water beneath a bridge.
On a bridge reaching down fro you.
Describing a missed opportunity symbolized by a bridge.
Inside my head I hurt a lot
Reiterating internal pain caused by self-reflection.
'Cause I'm thinking about me
Continuing to express remorse and self-centered thoughts.
And what I did to you
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions on another.
My home is just not big enough
Expressing limitations in providing a suitable home for a family.
To start a life for three
Desiring to create a family but feeling hindered by circumstances.
But I wish I could for you
Expressing a heartfelt wish to provide a better life for the addressed person.
