My Mind I Find in Time
Mary Halvorson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it is not predictable my mind
potential to deal a dangerous lie
it is not predictable my mind
and if i disappear it is for this
it is not predictable my mind
enormous in its attempts
lost in spectacular performance
the pull is still here i find
past the division the joy of forgetting
the pull is still here i find
status is an obstacle
reconstruction is required in time
the storm that sends us smoking
reconstruction is required in time
into some other life or another
reconstruction is required in time
In "My Mind I Find in Time," Mary Halvorson delves into the complexities of the human mind. The first verse describes the mind as unpredictable and dangerous, with the potential to spin tales that could cause harm. The line "if I disappear it is for this" suggests that the singer may be struggling with mental illness or some other internal battle.
The second verse continues to explore the power of the mind, with the line "enormous in its attempts." The pull referred to in this verse could be interpreted as the force that drives us forward in life, even in the face of adversity. Despite moments of confusion or disillusionment, the singer ultimately finds comfort in forgetting and moving forward.
The final verse acknowledges that the quest for status or success can be a hindrance to true self-discovery. The storm imagery may represent the trials and tribulations of life that threaten to consume us, but the prospect of "reconstruction" provides hope for a new beginning. In a nutshell, the song is a reflection on the unpredictable, powerful and mysterious nature of the mind.
