Going Out Of My Head
Jimmy And The SoulBlazers Lyrics

I talk to her picture
I converse with the image of my beloved on a photo or an object in the room.

And stare at the wall
I fix my gaze on an empty space, perhaps a spot on the wall, while feeling lost in thought.

And my friends come and offer their help
My acquaintances show up and gesture to assist me in whatever way possible.

To my back they're afraid I'm losing it all
Behind my back, they worry that I am gradually losing my grip on reality and hopelessness takes over.

To my face they say I'm not myself
In front of me, they claim I behave differently or my personality has changed.

And they name all the doctors they think I should see
They suggest various medical professionals that can aid me in my distress.

But they don't understand it's not me
They do not realize that the cause of my problem is not something physical or treatable. It is an emotional aspect.

[Chorus] She's going out of my mind
My lover's memories, presence, or essence gradually departs from me.

And I'm showing all the signs
My outward behavior or manifestation exhibits various indications of distress, such as confusion, depression, or anxiety.

I thought that our love was one of a kind
I genuinely believed that our affection was unique and special, unlike others.

Now she's going out of my mind
But now, the thought of losing her entirely is driving me crazy, like a form of madness.

The place that I've kept her
The manner or way I remember or perceive her is how I imagined she would like it to be.

Has suited her well
Her image, as I perceive and maintain it, is appropriate for her.

Though its not where she wanted to be
However, the person she was, or what she wanted out of life, was different from what I have made of her.

And from up on that pedestal I couldn't tell
I had put her on a figurative pedestal, idealizing her to a degree that I was unable to see how what I was doing was hurting her.

That she'd rather be down here with me
What she truly desired was to be with me, in a way she could relate to.

Now she just tells me how we can't relate
Currently, she affirms we cannot understand each other, connect, or share mutual feelings or values.

But she leaves out the part that I can't take
She does not express that such lack of compatibility pains me to such an extent that I find almost unbearable.

[Chorus]
She is fading away from my thoughts, and I am displaying attributes of psychological and emotional collapse.

There's a tear in her eye as they drive me away
As the medical personnel take me away, I see a drop of sadness in her pupil suggesting that she, too, may regret the present state of affairs.

And I turn to the doctors and say
I pivot my head towards the doctors and plead for them to help me overcome the emotional crisis.
