Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love, I am so different
Love, I am so different than before
Love, can I have be loved
Love, could I ever really be loved
Love, if you ever find me I wonder
Will you try me I'm so different than before
Love, the kind that I've dreamed of
Well let's start right here inside of me love
Love, if you ever find me I wonder
Will you try me I'm so different than before
Love, I am so different than before
[Love I am so different] Love I am so different
[Love I am so different] Love I am so different
Love, where are you waiting
In dark and smoky room I hear you singing to me
Love, let my voice take you
And the song we make would be so different than before
Ooh yes
My love, if you ever find me
Then I ask you try me I'm so different than before
Love, I am so different than before
[Love I am so different] Love I am so different, oh oh so different
[Love I am so different] So so different, I'm so different
[Love I am so different] So so different, I am so different
[Love I am so different] Love I am so different than before..
The word is out, the time is gone
Begin again I remember love
Make it strong with absolve
Stretching out to everyone
Nothing replace
This is what I want, this is what I made
Every little thing will be alright
One day so may you'll be mine
This time you won't mistake me
I'm ready love for you to take me with you
Love, if you ever find me I wonder
Will you try me I'm so different than before
Ooh yes
My love, I know when you found me I'll rock yourself all around me
Then I ask you try me I am so different than before
Ooh yes,
My love I know you will show me
The words you never told me I'm so different than before
The lyrics of Johnny Warman's song "Mind Games" revolve around a theme of transformation and self-discovery. The song starts with the singer reflecting on how much he has changed and evolved in his capacity for love. He wonders if he is capable of receiving or giving love, even if someone finds him. He then ponders about the kind of love he has always dreamed of and begins to look for it within himself. In the chorus, the singer expresses that he is so different than before and wonders if love will try him, meaning if love will give him a chance despite his differences.
In the second verse, the singer is actively seeking love and hears it calling from afar. He imagines creating music with love and envisions a different kind of love, a love vastly different from what he has known before. In the bridge, the singer acknowledges the passing of time and the importance of beginning again, with a stronger foundation rooted in love. In the final chorus, the singer declares that he is ready for love to find him, and when it does, he will embrace it and be a different person than he was before.
