Shape of My Mind
Neon Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're all expected to break expectations
I know it very well
And it ain't hard to tell
Everybody's looking for you (you,you)
Aye oh way oh (huh) aye oh way oh
Something so wrong feels so right
Aye oh way oh (huh) aye oh way oh
Everybody's looking for a new temptation
We're the never satisfied generation
I knew it right away
Watching you change exchanges
I was always lookin for you (you, you)
I'm like ooh for you
You wanted a new feeling
I set fire to the ceiling
I want news of you
Doing things I never thought I'd do
Aye oh way oh (huh) aye oh way oh
Something so wrong feels so right
Aye oh way oh (huh) aye oh way oh
That's just the shape of my mind
Looking in through her eyes
Spirits flying from here to Vegas
Swing like a pendulum
I can give you an education
Body feeling the motivation
Freed as the sun comes up
I'm like ooh for you
You wanted a new feeling
I set fire to the ceiling
I want news of you
Doing things I never thought I'd do
Aye oh way oh aye oh way oh
When something so wrong feels so right
Aye oh way (huh) oh aye oh way oh
That's just the shape of my mind
Aye oh way oh aye oh way oh
Something so wrong feels so right
Aye oh way (huh) oh aye oh way oh
That's just the shape of my mind
Looking in through her eyes I see
Spirits flying from here to Vegas
Swing like a pendulum
I can give you an education
Body feeling the motivation
Freed as the sun comes up
In "Shape of My Mind" by Neon Dreams, the lyrics speak to the universal human desire for something new and exciting. The first line "Everybody's looking for a new sensation" sets up the theme for the rest of the song. The use of the phrase "break expectations" suggests that the search for new experiences is not just about finding something enjoyable, but about breaking free from a sense of predictability and the status quo. The lyrics then focus on the idea that the search for new experiences is often incomplete without someone to share it with, as "everybody's looking for you." The line "Something so wrong feels so right" speaks to the idea that the thrill of a new experience can often come from doing something outside of one's comfort zone. The final lines, "Looking in through her eyes I see/Spirits flying from here to Vegas/Swing like a pendulum/I can give you an education/Body feeling the motivation/Freed as the sun comes up," suggest that the singer has found someone to share these new experiences with and that they are experiencing a sense of liberation and possibility together.
