In my head
Miakoda Lyrics

A broken house, dusty gradient
The singer describes the setting as a dilapidated house with walls and floors that are in the process of disintegration.

Where the walls and floors turn into sediment
The walls and floors of the house have deteriorated to the point that they are now turning to dust.

Waited out till there's no one left
The singer has remained in this desolate and abandoned place until everyone else has left.

In my head
The events of the song are taking place within the singer's own mind, rather than in an external setting.

A photograph of someone you'll forget
The singer refers to a snapshot of an individual whom they anticipate will ultimately be forgotten.

Burning up with one last cigarette
The individual in the photograph is smoking a final cigarette and is on the verge of a destructive end.

Drink it down till there's nothing left
The notion of drinking signifies the metaphorical consumption of life and its experiences until there is nothing more to be had.

All and all, you give it all your best
Despite the futility of striving for an unpredictable future, one continues to put forth their greatest effort.

All and all, nothing's definite
The singer recognizes that despite one's best efforts, nothing is ever truly certain.

Stuck in time, no breath left to hold
The individual in the photograph has been trapped in a particular moment in time, with no hope of escaping it.

Not alive but you wouldn't know
Although the individual in the photograph is no longer living, there is no evident sign of this fact.

You were dead inside your own home
The dilapidated house described previously serves as a metaphor for the individual's internal state - lifeless and barren.

All and all, you give it all your best
The repetition of this lyric emphasizes the persistent effort put forth despite the difficulty of the situation.

All and all, nothing's definite
This refrain provides a stark reminder that even though one might exhaust all efforts, the outcome is still uncertain and unpredictable.

(In my head) All and all, you give it all your best
The prefix 'in my head' emphasizes the fact that this struggle is simultaneously both internal and subjective.

(In my head) All and all, nothing's definite
Once again, the prefix 'in my head' underscores the personal and internal nature of this struggle, with no guarantees of success.

(In my) All and all, you give it all your best
The omission of the word 'head' in this iteration serves to communicate that this struggle is not only limited to the realm of the mind or the internal self, but permeates all areas of life.

All and all, nothing's definite
This repeated line continues to serve as a potent reminder that despite all attempts to control outcomes, the future remains uncertain.
