Going Out of My Head
Brasil '66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I think I'm going out of my head
Over you, over you.
I want you to want me.
I need you so badly,
I can't think of anything but you.
I need you so badly,
I can't think of anything but you.
And I think I'm going out of my head
'Cause I can't explain the tears that I shed
Over you, over you.
I see you each morning but you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
Going out of my head over you,
Out of my head over you,
Out of my head day and night,
Night and day and night wrong or right.
I must think of a way into your heart.
There's no reason why my being shy should keep us apart
And I think I'm going out of my head.
Yes I think I'm going out of my head. Repeat and fade
The lyrics to the Brasil '66 song "Going Out of My Head" express the feelings of unrequited love that are causing the singer to feel like she's losing her mind. She's so consumed by thoughts of the person she's in love with that it's affecting her ability to function normally. She's desperate for him to acknowledge her and reciprocate her feelings, but he seems oblivious to her existence.
The repetition of the phrases "I want you to want me" and "I need you so badly" drive home the singer's desperation and longing. The lines "I can't think of anything but you" and "There's no reason why my being shy should keep us apart" hint at an underlying insecurity and fear of rejection that's fueling her obsession.
The imagery of seeing the person each morning but being overlooked creates a sense of frustration and helplessness. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Going out of my head over you," emphasizes the singer's overwhelming emotions.
The final lines express a glimmer of hope as the singer resolves to find a way to win over the person she loves. Despite her current state of distress, she remains determined to pursue a connection with him.

Lyric:
Well, I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but, but you
And I think I'm going out of my head
'Cause I can't explain the tears I shed
Over you
Over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
I'm going out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way
Into your heart
Oh, there's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
Going out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way
Into your heart
Oh, there's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
Going out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Day and night
Night and day and night
Day and night
Night and day and night

Classic Album. I was barely old enough to read the Liner Notes, but, thank my Parents for the gift of good music. They enrolled me in music (piano) at Five years old. Jazz is still my love and first choice of all genre's of music.
