On My Mind
Don Diablo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My feelings can't explain
Why after all this time
You stay on my mind, oh
You stay on my mind, oh
When I think about you
Why after all this time
You stay on my mind, oh
When I think about you
My feelings can't explain
Why after all this time
You stay on my mind, oh
You stay on my mind
You stay on my mind, oh
You stay on my mind, oh
On My Mind, a song by Dutch DJ Don Diablo, is a heartfelt expression of the lingering thoughts and feelings that the singer has about a former lover. The first verse, "When I think about you, my feelings can't explain, why after all this time, you stay on my mind, oh," suggests that despite the passage of time, the emotions associated with the relationship remain unresolved. The chorus, "You stay on my mind, oh," is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the intensity of these emotions and the extent to which they continue to occupy the singer's thoughts.
The second verse, "Every single night, I feel like I'm losing my mind, oh, trying to keep up the fight to leave it all behind," further illustrates the extent to which the singer struggles to move on from this relationship. They are tormented by thoughts of their former lover, and although they fight to let go, they can't seem to do so. The repetition of "You stay on my mind" at the end of the song is a poignant way to bring the narrative full circle, cementing the idea that these feelings are inextricably attached to the singer's psyche.

When I think about you
Whenever the artist reflects on you
My feelings can't explain
I have trouble expressing how I feel
Why after all this time
Even though it's been a while
You stay on my mind, oh
You continue to occupy my thoughts, oh
You stay on my mind
You persistently occupy my thoughts
You stay on my mind, oh
You persistently occupy my thoughts, oh
