In My Mind
Dani Murcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew I'd regret
All the choices I'd make
Is it love, is it fate?
Or is it just momentarily?
You seem dead to it too
I thought your feelings were true
Making love, sharing life
And I said goodbye
Can't get out of my mind about you
Hope in time I'll forget about you
Though it's only been a few moments with you
I know how this ends
You know just the right things to say
You know how to play the game
I can't tell if you're here to stay
But I think I'm gonna walk away
Been up a few times
Ate it down with no ties
Then we said our goodbyes
And put on a disguise
Waiting for the next time
You say you can't
Be the kinda man you know I deserve
So you leave me to hurt
Oh, how it hurts
Can't get out of my mind about you
I hope in time I'll forget about you
Though it's only been a few moments with you
I know how this ends
You know just the right things to say
You know how to play the game
I can't tell if you're here to stay
But I think I'm gonna walk away
In my mind hides a dying light I used to keep alive
But I know that the flame will burn out
My loves so far from love
Still I find...
I can't get out of my mind about you
I hope in time I'll forget about you
Though it's only been a few moments with you
I know how this ends
Go on and pretend you know just the right things to say
You know how to play the game
I can't tell if you're here to stay
But I think I'm gonna walk
I think I'm gonna walk away
The song "In My Mind" by Dani Murcia is about regret and uncertainty in the aftermath of a brief encounter with someone who seemed to be a perfect match.

The lyrics emphasize the mixed emotions felt after a breakup, alternating between hope and despair, and the need to move on.
Throughout the song, the singer struggles to reconcile their feelings with the reality of the situation. The other person seems to be similarly hesitant, not fully committing to the relationship and leaving the singer to hurt. The chorus repeats the idea that the memories of their brief moments together are hard to forget even though the outcome is predictable.
The final verse is a reflection on the nature of love and how it can sometimes be fleeting, represented by the metaphor of a dying light that once burned bright. Despite this, the singer still holds onto hope, saying that they will find love again.
Overall, "In My Mind" is a raw and emotional portrayal of the ups and downs of romance.
