My Head Is a Jungle
MK Marc Kinchen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a dark room we fight, make up for our love
I′ve been thinking, thinking about you, about us
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast
I′ve been dreaming, dreaming about you, about us

(Our hearts beat moving...)

Hey, hey, hey, hey
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh

(Our hearts beat moving... x10)

I was speaking soft, see the pain in your eyes
I've been feeling, feeling for you, my love
And our bodies are tired, our shadows will dance
I've been aching, aching for you, my love

(Our hearts beat moving... x10)

My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh
My love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be, hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I′m complicated, you won′t get me, I have trouble, understanding myself, understanding myself
And my love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be, hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I'm complicated, you won′t get me, I have trouble, understanding myself, understanding myself
My head is a jungle, jungle
My head is a jungle, jungle




My head is a jungle, jungle
My head, oh, oh, oh, oh oh...

This is why we're fucked as a society. We can't just experience moments as human beings anymore, we all find the need to record EVERYTHING. No one gives a shit, just be in a moment, be a person.

@mikeportlock1

Phones should be banned unless you are calling someone fucked out your head at 5am to tell them the song playing at that moment in time makes you think of them and you love them. 

@Cowofevil

Whatever happened to dancing? Only needs to be one person filming, Leave it to a professional.
