On Your Mind
Fiona Harte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seraphic sounds and real-life horse play
The Chelsea scene is driving me wild
Pressing something that makes my coldness mild
And glasshouses glow
Leaning on all you know
For you to say whatยs on your mind, so say whatยs on your mind
Well, I borrowed all of your charm, but you couldnยt recognise
How to say whatยs on your mind
So say whatยs on your mind
The incense of strangersย confidence
Stroll by, inhale your nonsense
Makes you dream and lean on beyond
Throwing your diamonds in a concrete pond
And glasshouses glow
Leaning on all you know
Well, I swallowed all of my haze and all of my grey skies
For you to say whatยs on your mind, so say whatยs on your mind
Well, I borrowed all of your charm but you couldnยt recognise
How to say whatยs on your mind
So say whatยs on your mind
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you call it out
When you
Well, I swallowed all of my haze and all of my grey skies
For you to say whatยs on your mind, so say whatยs on your mind
You know I borrowed all of your charm, but you couldnยt recognise
How to say whatยs on your mind, so say whatยs on your mind
In Fiona Harte's song "On Your Mind", the singer describes a day that starts out peaceful and serene, with beautiful sounds and playful activities. However, as the day wears on, the chaotic and wild nature of the "Chelsea scene" begins to take hold. The singer feels the need to "swallow all of [her] haze and grey skies" in order to hear the thoughts and feelings of someone she cares about, urging them to "say what's on your mind". Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and frustration with a relationship that seems to lack clear communication.
The lyrics touch on themes of vulnerability, honesty, and the challenges of maintaining meaningful connections in an environment that can be superficial and fake. The "glasshouses" that "glow" refer to the idea of living in a fragile and delicate world, where everything is on display and nothing is hidden. The singer is leaning on the knowledge and familiarity of her loved one, but there is a sense that they are unable or unwilling to reciprocate.
Overall, "On Your Mind" is a poignant reflection on how difficult it can be to truly connect with others, especially in an urban environment where appearances often take precedence over substance.
