In My Mind
Lyn Lapid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiet as the city air on a summer night after it rains
Faster than a bolt of lightning, the speed of a Japanese bullet train (a train)
And you know, it's always trying stay awake (stay awake)
Oh, but darling, running ain't enough
To escape from the monsters in my brain (in my brain)

People say I'm quiet most of the time
If only you knew what goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
(I'm not toxic, I swear)

Two in the morning, I'm lying awake
These thoughts in my brain
They come out to play
I'm replaying Gumball to keep 'em way

Deep in the silence
May end up violent
What an anomaly
What is so wrong with me?
(Me)

People say I'm quiet most of the time
If only you knew what goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)

(If only you knew) what goes on in my
(If only you knew) what goes on in my
(If only you knew) what goes on in my mind
(If only you knew)
(If only you knew) what goes on in my
(If only you knew) what goes on in my




(If only you knew)
What goes on, what goes on in my mind

I despise stereotypes about being quiet. For ex

Quiet = cute/innocent
Quiet = edgy phase
Quiet = dangerous/shooter
Quiet = boring
Quiet = book smart

To everyone who's studying with this music:

Checklist:

• A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate💧

• Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time🔋

• Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone🎧

• a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.☕

• Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.⌨️

•Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy 🐈


Reminder: After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me.
You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight 😴🧸
