Lose My Mind
Lucy and the Rats Lyrics

The lyrics of Lucy and the Rats's song "Lose My Mind" are open to interpretation, but they can be perceived as referencing the struggle to get rid of negative thoughts and feelings. The line "Cleaning my room for the last time" could refer to a final attempt to organize one's thoughts and clear their mind. The bugs and termites mentioned in the next line are likely symbolic of the damaging thoughts and emotions that have been festering in their mind. In the following line, "Chipping away at my block of wood," the singer could be referring to their attempt to break down the mental blockages that are preventing them from moving forward.

In the chorus, the line "Now they're gone for good, I wish I kept them creatures for myself" could suggest a desire to hold onto the negative feelings as a source of inspiration or to avoid feeling emptiness. The verse that follows reinforces the idea that the singer is plagued by certain recurring images or thoughts that they cannot put into words ("We are phasmid in my head, just some words that can't be said"). The final line ("Now I'm dreaming of bloody red") could be the result of the singer's efforts to rid themselves of negativity - perhaps they've gone too far in trying to clear their mind and are now experiencing a kind of mental backlash.
