Wrapped Around My Head
Diana Ah Naid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In an unknown sort of way
Like we're on the same road
But different sides
And you're calling out my name
I've never met you but I won't forget
The dream of your voice
Wrapped around my head
But I know it's strong
With a world of people in between
Yours is the only one
Eventually your shouts
Became a whisper of wind
That I couldn't hear for anything
And you, unseen are as my King
Touch my tenderness
Like a feather on my skin
Ok I admit it I'd like to spend
Some time with you in person
Would that be ok with you
Alright here I am
What are you going to do
I think I'll stop and sit instead
Of following your shadow
Maybe you'll go round the block
And stop you never know
If you did I don't know what I'd say to you
Maybe just the closer you get, the better the view.
The song Wrapped Around My Head by Diana Ah Naid talks about a feeling of connection with someone even though they haven't physically met each other. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels like she has known this person all her life, in an unknown way. It's like they are on the same road, but on different paths. The singer feels that this person is calling out to her in a way that she can hear, hence she won't forget the dream of their voice wrapped around her head. She might not have had the opportunity to meet this person, but their touch is strong and has left an impact on her. In a world full of people, this person's voice is the only one she remembers.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that she would like to spend some time with this person in person. She wonders what this person would do if they were face to face with each other. The lyrics reveal a sense of excitement and anticipation, but the singer is also cautious. She decides to stop following this person's shadow and let them come to her. It's like she is willing to let fate take its course to bring them together. The song ends with the singer wondering what she would say to this person if they were to meet, and expressing a desire for a closer view.
