What's on your Mind?
Lo-Fi-Fnk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you're so deaf,
say you're boring,
rumors going round.
head bowed down,
oh so quiet.
one with the ground.

tell me the last time that you smiled
and the last time that you cried.
there must be something going on inside,
there must be something going on inside.

why don't you tell what's on your mind?
nothing's gonna change if you keep on whispering.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
it's no reason to be all that boring.

why don't you tell what's...
why don't you tell what's...
why don't you tell what's...
what what what what's
why don't you tell what's...
why don't you tell what's...
why don't you tell what's...
what what what what's

oh so much you must be storing,
i can't hear your heart beat.
i tend to forget how it was before,
and why i don't feel you're heat.

tell me the last time that you smiled
and the last time that you cried
there must be something going on inside,
there must be something going on inside,
there must be riots going on inside.

why don't you tell what's on your mind?
nothing's gonna change you can keep on whispering.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
it's no reason to be all that boring.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
nothing's gonna change you can keep on whispering.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
there's no reason to be all that, all that.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
nothing's gonna change you can keep on whispering.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
there's no reason to be all that, all that.
why don't you tell what's on your mind?
nothing's gonna change you can keep on whispering.




why don't you tell what's on your mind?
there's no reason to be all that, all that.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lo-Fi-Fnk's song "What's On Your Mind?" are about a person who appears to be disconnected from others around them. The singer accuses the person of being "boring" and notes that there are "rumors going round" about them. The person's head is bowed down and they are "one with the ground." The singer then asks the person when the last time they felt any strong emotion or showed any sign of life was. They assume something must be going on inside the person, even if they're not showing it externally.


The chorus asks the person to share what's on their mind, saying that telling others won't change anything if they keep whispering. The chorus also notes that there's "no reason to be all that boring." The bridge expresses the idea that the person is holding onto so much that it's difficult to even hear their heartbeat. The singer notes that they tend to forget how things used to be between them and the person, and wonders why they no longer feel the person's heat.


Overall, the song seems to be urging the person to open up more and share what's on their mind. The use of the word "boring" suggests that the singer finds the person unengaging or uninteresting, and the repeated refrain of "why don't you tell what's on your mind?" emphasizes the singer's desire for a deeper connection with the person. The song also suggests that there may be internal struggles going on that are not being shared, which could be contributing to the person's seeming disconnection from others.
