Outta My Head
Leona Lewis | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel a little less of me
I though it's be easier
But it feels like things won't work out in the end
I'm done trying to pretend
This isn't over
I just want to let you know
It's in my head
It's in my head
That this is over
And I'm trying to see this through
But I don't know what I'm doing here
Every time I fall asleep I feel a little less of me
It gets so hard to be everything you see in me
I never thought that I would be
Someone who falls into routine
But it's all too real for me
I never thought that I would live a lie
Just trying to get by
But it's easy not to try
When you're scared of failure
I never thought that I would be
Someone who falls into routine
But it's all too real for me
I never thought that I would live a lie
Just trying to get by
But it's easy not to try
When you're scared of failure
It's in my head
It's in my head
It's in my head
That I'm scared of failure
It's in my head
It's in my head
It's in my head
That I'm scared of failure
The lyrics to Leona Lewis' song "Outta My Head" are a surreal stream of consciousness that mix elements of fear, desire, and violence. The singer is asking someone to believe in them and die for them, but also acknowledging that the noose they have chosen and the tracks they are on are nothing new. They hold their breath in fear, but also recognize that their thoughts are askew and that evil rains down around them.
The next lines shift focus to a scene of grey, with scantily clad women trailing off to the edge of the tracks where shanty shacks sit. The singer describes a violent encounter with a henchman, and how all the mirrors have been smashed except for one, which the singer recognizes as being the last. Despite all of this, the other person makes the singer laugh their head off.
The lyrics of "Outta My Head" are open to interpretation, but they seem to explore themes of fear, control, and violence, as well as the power of laughter and humor in dark situations.
