Overthinking
Adna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my own head
Wondering if its been really as many
In yours
Every day
Is the day after
I'm screaming in silence
Can't stand the _____
Left alone with the words I never said
Overthinking you
Overthinking truth
Overthinking oh
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Stop
Pretending life doesn't terrify you
I still have the open sea
Now it's pouring blood
The heavens grieve
I pretend
Heaven will never touch us
Maybe I'll save myself this way
And dreams
I'll beg you to recognize
The willow
Beating by your side
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
The lyrics of Adna's song Overthinking paint a picture of someone who is trapped in their own thoughts and anxieties. The singer is spending many nights overthinking and wondering if the other person they are thinking about is doing the same. They are screaming in silence, unable to deal with the weight of their thoughts rushing through their veins. The words they never said to the person they are thinking about are left unsaid, and they are left with the regret of not expressing their feelings. The repetition of the phrase "overthinking" emphasizes the overwhelming and suffocating nature of their thoughts.
The singer then says "honey, I'm going home" repeatedly, as if they are trying to find a way to escape their thoughts and return to a place that feels safe and comfortable. They need to find out where home is first, as if they have lost their sense of self and are searching for an anchor to hold onto. The lyrics "stop pretending life doesn't terrify you" show that the singer is aware of the darkness in the world but is trying to push it away and stay in a bubble where they can control their thoughts and emotions. However, the singer acknowledges that they cannot hide from the pain forever, as "the heavens grieve" and the weight of the world feels like it's pouring blood.
The final lines of the song return to the phrase "honey, I'm going home," as if the singer is making a commitment to finding a way back to themselves and their true home. The repetition of the phrase feels like a mantra, a way to keep the singer focused and determined as they confront their thoughts and fears.
Line by Line Meaning
Many nights
I've spent countless nights
In my own head
Lost in thought with my mind as the only company
Wondering if its been really as many
Questioning if you've spent as much time thinking about me
In yours
As I have in my own thoughts
Every day
On a daily basis
Is the day after
Feels like I'm just going through the motions
I'm screaming in silence
Suffering inwardly with no one hearing my cries for help
Can't stand the _____
Unable to bear the weight of overthinking
Running through my veins
Consuming me and taking over my emotions
Left alone with the words I never said
Regretting the words I've kept to myself and the opportunities I missed
Overthinking you
Thinking excessively about you
Overthinking truth
Overthinking the truth behind my thoughts and feelings
Overthinking oh
Getting lost in my overthinking
Honey, I'm going home
I need to find a place where I feel comfortable and secure
Need to find out where home is first
I need to figure out where my true home is before I can go there
Stop
Cease
Pretending life doesn't terrify you
Acting like life isn't causing me fear and anxiety
I still have the open sea
I still have opportunities and possibilities to explore
Now it's pouring blood
Now something that was once beautiful and pure has turned violent and painful
The heavens grieve
The universe is mourning with me
I pretend
I put on a facade
Heaven will never touch us
We are doomed to suffer in this world
Maybe I'll save myself this way
Maybe I can save myself by escaping from reality
And dreams
And maybe by holding onto my dreams
I'll beg you to recognize
I'll still hope for you to understand me
The willow
A symbol of grace and femininity
Beating by your side
Growing and persevering despite circumstances

[Verse 1]
Many nights
In my own head
Wondering if it's been really as many
In yours
Every day
Is the day after
I'm screaming in silence
Can't stand the exciting running through my veins
Left alone with the words I never said
Overthinking you
Overthinking truth
Overthinking, oh
[Chorus]
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
[Verse 2]
Stop pretending life doesn't terrify you
I used to love the open sea
Now it's pouring blood
The heavens grieve
I'll pretend
Having an empty chest
Lately, I save myself this way
And in dreams
I'll beg you to recognize
The will of
Being by your side
[Chorus × 4]
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Need to find out where home is first
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
Honey, I'm going home
