In my head
Old Man Canyon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're hiding in the shadows
Talking to ourselves
Now I see spirits glow
Taking tokes till my head chills
Gotta filter the show
Yeah, it's out of control, but I got
Something in my head
Dreams in the summer
Thought it never would end
I got you in my mind
We came from the stardust
We're never fading in time
It's all in my mind
Well, look at us, we made some cash
Welcome to the desert
Yeah, where the paper is ash
And you got it figured out
Yeah, I wish that I would follow
Those dreams I had
But my wills gone bad
And all those days we spent
Running form the monsters inside our heads
And all the wasted time
We couldn't see it all lived inside our minds
I got you in my head
Dreams in the summer
Thought it never would end
And I got you in my mind
We came from the stardust
We're never fading in time
I got you in my head
Dreams in the summer
Thought it never would end
And I got you in my mind
We came from the stardust
We're never fading in time
The song "In My Head" by Old Man Canyon delves into the idea of escaping reality, living in a world of dreams and escaping one’s flaws. The first verse creates a haunting image of individuals hiding from the truth in society’s shadows, living in their own world, listening to the voices in their heads. The second verse refers to living in the present time where people get carried away with worldly affairs, the need to make money and attain success. The singer of the song realizes he should have followed his dreams but succumbed to his weakness of falling into the norms of society. Both verses show the importance of understanding one’s priorities, living without regrets, and embracing life's true purpose.
The chorus, "I got you in my head, Dreams in the summer, Thought it never would end, We came from the stardust, We're never fading in time", portrays the idea of living forever in dreams, finding solace in the things that make us happy. The summer dreams signify that the surrounding atmosphere is beautiful and enchanting, and the stardust refers to the immortality of the soul.
Overall, “In My Head” takes a deep dive into the human psyche, questioning the true meaning of life, how we perceive reality, and how the voices in our head dictate our thoughts and actions.

Dreams in the summer
I had great aspirations for the future at one point
Thought it never would end
I believed my dreams would always be possible to achieve
We came from the stardust
We are all made of the same particles from the universe
We're never fading in time
Our essence and energy will always exist
It's all in my mind
The things that have been holding me back are all in my head
Well, look at us, we made some cash
We have achieved monetary success, but at what cost?
Welcome to the desert
We are in a metaphorical desert, dry and barren
Yeah, where the paper is ash
Money doesn't mean anything here and is worthless
And you got it figured out
You seem to have everything under control
Yeah, I wish that I would follow
I wish I had the strength to follow my dreams like you do
Those dreams I had
The things I wanted to achieve in life
But my wills gone bad
My motivation and drive to achieve those dreams has diminished
And all those days we spent
The time we wasted being held back by our inner demons
Running form the monsters inside our heads
Avoiding facing our internal struggles and fears
And all the wasted time
The time we could have spent achieving our goals
We couldn't see it all lived inside our minds
We were not aware that our issues were all in our heads
I got you in my mind
You are constantly on my mind
Dreams in the summer
I had great aspirations for the future at one point
Thought it never would end
I believed my dreams would always be possible to achieve
And I got you in my mind
You are constantly on my mind
We came from the stardust
We are all made of the same particles from the universe
We're never fading in time
Our essence and energy will always exist
I got you in my head
You are constantly on my mind
Dreams in the summer
I had great aspirations for the future at one point
Thought it never would end
I believed my dreams would always be possible to achieve

You are constantly on my mind
We came from the stardust
We are all made of the same particles from the universe
We're never fading in time
Our essence and energy will always exist

Only 11, 000 views? Really? What’s going on with this world... this song and video are absolutely amazing and I can’t take my eyes out of it. P.S. The main actor is very beautiful. Who is he by the way? Lots of love from Ukraine❤️🌈
