Over My Head
Atomic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I am misunderstood
Maybe I'm missing Conviction
Maybe
Maybe I'm minding my own mind
Maybe I'm making moon senseshine
Maybe
I've turned my head around baby
I've turned my head around ...
And I'm better now.
Maybe I am just mad it seems
Maybe I'm sleeping in my dreams
Maybe
Maybe I am mistaken ,hey
Maybe I don't know know anything
Maybe
I've turned my head around baby
I've turned my head around ...
And I'm better now.
I call it what it is and what it's not
I say what I mean and what I don't
I worship God when I'm alone
Too much time inside ... My Dome
I've turned my head around baby
I've turned my head around ...
And I'm better now.
I used to believe
There is a house of prayer
I'm going crazy
I used to agree
Believers should meet there
I'm going crazy
Maybe I am a mandarin mad
Maybe I am a mountain head
Maybe
Maybe I am a blue mean freak
Maybe




My mystic mamma's heat
Maybe

At the beginning of the song, the singer is struggling with doubt and lack of conviction. However, as the song progresses, they come to a realization that they have turned their head around and that they are "better now."

They question the idea that there is a "house of prayer" and that believers should meet there, indicating a possible disillusionment with organized religion.
