In My Mind
M86 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Intertwined
Are our limbs twisted
Chase your goals
Chills for hours
Chemicals lifted
And you'll come walking
Fill in all the holes
From our explosions????????
You, you
In my mind
You, you
My mind
(Mind, mind, mind)
Hear your call
I capsize????
We keep chasing
Exit signs
As if they existed
You and me are madness
And I'll explore it
Waitin' for your return
And now you own (owe?) me????????
You, you
In my mind
You, you
My mind
(Mind, mind, mind)????????
You, you
In my mind
You, you
My mind
(Mind, mind, mind)

The phrases "intertwined" and "our limbs twisted" metaphorically convey a sense of closeness and intimacy between them. The next lines "Chase your goals, chills for hours, chemicals lifted" suggest that either the two are high on drugs or that the intensity of their connection is akin to being on drugs. The chorus "You, you, in my mind, you, you, my mind" highlights the obsessive nature of their thoughts about each other.
The lyrics continue with the lines "I'll lay the stones and you'll come walking. Fill in all the holes from our explosions". The words "lay the stones" imply that the singer is creating a path for their relationship to follow. The reference to "explosions" might suggest that their intense physical attraction has caused emotional eruptions.
