HE SAID SHE SAID
BEDROOM - CHVRCHES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"I know you heard me the first time" and
"Be sad, but don't be depressed"
Just think it over, over and
He said, "It's all in your head"
"But keep an ear to the grapevine" and
"Get drunk, but don't be a mess"
Keep thinkin' over, over
I try
But it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like
I feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over, I try
He said, "You need to be fed"
"But keep an eye on your waistline" and
"Look good, but don't be obsessed"
Keep thinkin' over, over
I try
But it's hard to know what's right
When I feel like I'm borrowin' all of my time
And it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like
I feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over, I
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over
I try
The lyrics to "He Said She Said" by CHVRCHES convey a sense of frustration and internal struggle. The singer is being criticized and dismissed by someone, referred to as "he." This person belittles and devalues the singer's thoughts and emotions, telling her she bores him and that her feelings are all in her head. He advises her to be sad but not depressed, drunk but not a mess, and to focus on her appearance without becoming obsessed. These dismissive and contradictory statements create a toxic and oppressive environment for the singer, leading her to question her own sanity and feel like she's losing her mind.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses her efforts to maintain her sense of self and find clarity amidst this confusion. She tries to hit rewind and make sense of the situation, but it's difficult when she feels overwhelmed. She feels like she's losing control and her thoughts are spiraling, repeating over and over. The constant repetition of "I feel like I'm losing my mind" emphasizes the intensity of her struggle and the internal battle she is facing.
