Raining In My Head
Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All in my head, head head head
Head head head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
All in my

Forced to deal with it like I've never dealt before
Voices in my head talking but I hear them low
Trying to cope with depression and all the stress I been facing
It got me in the sunken places, like the movie though
Get Out, but the walls caving in
Depending on friends, still my problems don't end
So I straddle the fence and runaway in a sprint
Every mile that I ran only felt like an inch
Breathe, like my Apple Watch told me
Do the choices that I make keep me lonely
Talking to myself put my mind at ease
Being lost in my thoughts, therapeutic to me
Until I'm able to be, where there's freedom of speech
And let nobody ever place judgement on me
See they can't relate, only crumble and break
It's like the world constantly getting louder to me, it's in my head

All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
All in my

Feeling like I do it wrong, it's never right
My current situations really keep me up at night
Despite the way that I feel, I'm constantly paying these bills
It's like another one keep coming and it's out of spite
On the daily keeping up with the bullshit
Drinking until my body fully out of commission
And my work got the headaches coming consistent
With trips to these hospitals, never to visit
I ain't lie here
Hear that shit, this is really real
I lost my dad, he was never here but still trying to heal
And deal with the bullshit from the relatives
Can a nigga live
Life's a bitch and I know it
'Cause I met her first hand, I'm just able to show it
My perspective is clear, I need a moment clear
What's on my mind all the time, please lend me your ear, because

I got a whole lot of shit to say
Too many cheeks turned the other way
It's time I let it all out, let it all hang
I contemplated disappearing for a life change
Then I thought to myself, is it gon' change?
Voices in my head told me leave everything
All this pain locked in, it's getting harder to keep
It's like the world constantly getting louder to me, it's in my head

All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
All in my head, head, head, head
All in my

I got a whole lot of shit to say
Too many cheeks turned the other way
It's time I let it all out, let it all hang
I contemplated disappearing for a life change (all in my)




Then I thought to myself, Is it gone change?
Voices in my head told me leave (all in my)
