In My Head
Eelke Kleijn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What are you waiting four, five
Damn i left out the tree by the riverside
Oh no! did i just say the tree?
I meant three years back...
When i walked thru the 6 with my woes
I think i have a hangover
′Cos i remember clearly
MAN of the store hand me that HAT with the TANnish color
... okay i do not know what i am writing but spotify i think we can work things out... give me a call soon.better still email
The lyrics to Eelke Kleijn's song "In My Head" appear to reflect the scattered thoughts and fragmented memories of the singer. The opening lines seem to reference someone waiting, possibly for the singer, before they stumble over the counting sequence, skipping the number three and landing on a memory of a tree by a riverside. They then correct themselves, realizing they meant to say "three years back" and launch into a disjointed recollection of walking through the "6" with their "woes" (possibly a reference to Drake's song "Know Yourself" which mentions "running through the 6 with my woes"). The singer then admits to possibly having a hangover and reflects on a memory from 7th Avenue in New York, requesting a tan-colored hat from someone in a store.
Taken as a whole, the lyrics seem to reflect a sense of confusion and uncertainty, with the singer struggling to piece together a coherent narrative from their jumbled memories. This theme is reinforced by the final lines, where the singer acknowledges their own confusion and suggests that they would appreciate some guidance or direction (from Spotify, in this case).
