Stupid Mind
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tearing your mind apart
Way in your head God your thoughts are jumbling all around
It's not like sanity lacking it's not like you're not found
Your mind is pulling but pulling is what you cannot take
You've got to cut the line of your mind it's hanging dead weight
My stupid mind come in head I fight it all the time
My stupid mind (my stupid mind
My stupid mind (mind mind)
My stupid mind come in head I fight it all the time
My stupid mind (my stupid mind
My stupid mind (mind mind)
You choose your words better you choose to react your mind
You sit real cool like a fool you say it's gonna be fine
Like a drug that's in my mind I say I'm giving you up
Your wit is spit seeping down down into my cut
(Chorus)
Well I be sitting taking it easy on a summer's day
I have no answers to my questions but I say hey
The people and friends the ones who be keeping me in line now
You clean your thoughts with your stupid mind stupid mind
(Chorus)
Keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Just keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Just keeping my mind stable
Keeping my mind right
Just just just just
Just keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Just just just just
Just keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Keeping my mind stable keeping my mind right
Just just just
(Chorus)
My stupid mind becomes right my stupid mind becomes wrong
My stupid mind becomes right my stupid mind becomes wrong
My stupid mind becomes right my stupid mind becomes wrong
My stupid mind becomes right my stupid mind becomes wrong
The lyrics of "My Stupid Mind" by Big D and The Kids Table deal with the internal struggle of trying to keep control of one's own thoughts and mind. The opening lines describe the anguish and chaos caused by the person's own thoughts, tearing their mind apart. The song then goes on to describe the difficulty of maintaining mental stability, with the mind jumbling all around, and urging the person to cut the line of their own mind to stop the mental pull.
The chorus of the song becomes a sort of battle cry for the person, repeatedly telling their own mind to come in line and fighting it all the time. The bridge of the song brings the idea of community and the support and grounding that comes from friends and loved ones. The final repetition of the chorus becomes more ambiguous, with the person acknowledging that sometimes their stupid mind becomes right, and sometimes it becomes wrong, but the struggle remains the same.
Overall, "My Stupid Mind" is a powerful exploration of the difficulties of maintaining mental stability, and the ongoing fight to keep control of one's own thoughts and emotions.
