The lyrics in Juice WRLD's song "In My Mind" suggest that the artist is struggling with various aspects of his life, particularly his mental and physical health. In the first verse, Juice WRLD notes that while people recognize his talent, they do not understand the extent of his pain and suffering, which he tries to ease with prescription pills that do not work. He also suggests that he is at a low point in his life, feeling lost and alone as he wanders through LA, an environment that makes him feel cold and isolated even though he is from Chicago. Juice WRLD contends that he would be better off dead than alive, and although that may be a bleak outlook, his art and music would still live on even if he were gone.
The chorus has a slightly different tone, with Juice WRLD repeating that "This is my life in a nutshell." By acknowledging that his life is condensed into a single idea or phrase, he implies that he is struggling to control it or cannot fully express the complexities of his experiences. The more he describes his life, the more he realizes how far away Heaven is for him and how he is beginning to accept Hell as a familiar place. For Juice WRLD, pain is a constant reminder of his mortality, but he still wants to die in such a way that his music and legacy will live on.
The third verse builds on these themes by suggesting that death has become one of Juice WRLD's most consistent preoccupations. He refers to "death melodies" and "cardiac arrest notes," which speak both to his personal feelings and his artistic inspiration. At the same time, he acknowledges that these dark and negative thoughts are not what people want to hear, but sometimes honesty is the most important thing. Juice WRLD ends the song with a nod to the future, stating that he is moving on to the next chapter of his life, but also implies that nothing really matters in the end.
