In Your Head
Jade Novah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That shit keep you up all night
Seeing things when they ain't even there
No time no time now
You outta your mind now
Cuz you in your head
Yeah you in your head
Maybe he took someone home
Maybe he chilling with her instead
You're crying you're crying now
You outta you mind now
Cuz you in your head
Yeah you in your head
I saw a shooting star come crashing through my window
There was green fire everywhere
What of these toxic colored dreams you like to follow
Ain't no monster under your bed
Running from nothing
Running for nothing
Running from you now you looking for something
But you can't find nothing
Searching for something
But it's all just voices lost inside your head
Ain't no monster under your bed
But it's all just voices lost inside your head
Ain't no monster under your bed
The song In Your Head by Jade Novah describes the feeling of jealousy and paranoia that can arise in a relationship. The lyrics portray the singer as being consumed by negative thoughts, so much so that they can't stop overthinking their partner's every move. The first verse, "Jealousy comes with a price, that shit keep you up all night, seeing things when they ain't even there," highlights the fact that jealousy can make a person see things that aren't really happening.
In the chorus, the line "You're crying, you're crying now, you're outta your mind now, 'cause you're in your head," further emphasizes how a person's own insecurities can spiral out of control, leading them to believe things that are not true. The second verse, "Why he don't pick up his phone, maybe he took someone home, maybe he's chilling with her instead," highlights the feeling of not being able to trust your partner, and constantly questioning their actions.
The bridge of the song offers a nod towards the fact that these negative thought patterns can feel isolating, with the line "running from you now, you're looking for something, but you can't find nothing, searching for something." The song ends with a reminder that there's often no real reason to be so consumed by these thoughts, with the line "ain't no monster under your bed."
