Eat My Mind
Filiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it all consume you
Breathe my soul, feed your demons
Let them dwell within you
And right here, is an awful place
That I've tried to keep inside of me
And right here, is an awful sound
Let your gloom, reside within
I will walk beside you
Paint your black, let it reign
Don't be scared I'll guide you
And right here, is an awful place
That I've tried to keep inside of me
And right here, is an awful sound
That I've tried to keep outside of me
Every time I turn around
Every time I go
I see clearly
I can't stand it
Every time I look at you
Every time I go
I can't get it
I can't stand it
Should have known, should have seen
I can't be your savior
Heard them call, heard them cry
I need to surrender
And right here, is an awful place
That I've tried to keep inside of me
And right here, is an awful sound
That I've tried to keep outside of me
And right here, is an awful place
That I've tried to keep inside of me
And right here, is an awful sound
That I've tried to keep outside of me
Feel my blood, eat my mind
Let it all consume you
The lyrics to Filiz's song Eat My Mind delve into themes of surrender and acceptance of inner turmoil. The opening line, "Feel my blood, eat my mind" is a visceral and intense invitation for the listener to consume the singer's very essence. This speaks to a deep sense of vulnerability and surrender to another person, inviting them to intimately know the singer in a way that goes beyond just the physical. The subsequent lines, "Let it all consume you/Breathe my soul, feed your demons/Let them dwell within you," reinforces this idea of deep connection and an acknowledgment of the darker parts of oneself.
The chorus lines, "And right here, is an awful place/That I've tried to keep inside of me/And right here, is an awful sound/That I've tried to keep outside of me," allude to the singer's inner demons and the struggle to contain them. This struggle could be interpreted as an attempt to maintain a certain level of control or the aftermath of trying to hide one's true self for too long. The repetition of these lines throughout the song emphasizes the torment and frustration that come from not being able to fully express oneself.
The verse, "Should have known, should have seen/I can't be your savior/Heard them call, heard them cry/I need to surrender," may suggest an inability to save oneself or others from their inner turmoil. The singer acknowledges that they can't be a savior and that sometimes the only option is to surrender to one's own demons.
Overall, the song presents a complex and emotional exploration of the human experience, inviting the listener to consider their own inner turmoil and the struggle to balance the light and dark parts of themselves.
