Mind Made Up
Pause for the Cause Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

(Ain′t going home)
(I've got my mind made up)
(To be out the door now)
(Ain′t going home)
(I've got my mind) -
Can't even look in your eyes
I gotta look away
Go focus up on something else
My ears reject all your words
You got a lot to say
But everything′s about yourself
I′ve seen this coming for a long, long time
But we can't keep dragging on through the dirt
Hmmm, I love you
But this one′s gonna hurt
But I got my mind made up
To be out the door now
Ain't going home
I know your all messed up
No one to abuse next
Sucks being alone
But don′t you blame me
Not to leave your heart
It's breaking I know
But I got my mind made up
To be out the door now
Ain′t going home




No, no
I could've given up.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Mind Made Up" by Pause for the Cause convey a strong determination to leave behind a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "Ain't going home, I've got my mind made up," signify a firm decision to move on and not return to the current situation. The repetition emphasizes the resoluteness of the singer's mindset.


The following lines, "Can't even look in your eyes, I gotta look away," express a sense of discomfort and avoidance towards the other person. There is a clear indication of emotional pain or betrayal, causing the singer to shift their focus and not engage with the person's words. The phrase "My ears reject all your words" further emphasizes the disconnection and unwillingness to listen.


The lyrics continue to describe a growing awareness of the toxicity in the relationship, indicating that the singer has anticipated the eventual breakup for a long time. The line "But everything's about yourself" suggests self-centeredness and a lack of consideration from the other person. Despite acknowledging the pain and potential hurt caused by the breakup, the singer is determined to go through with it.


The chorus highlights the singer's conviction to leave, emphasizing it through repetition. The phrase "But I got my mind made up" reinforces their unwavering decision, while "To be out the door now" signifies their readiness to move on. The lyrics also imply that the other person has a history of mistreating or abusing others, with the line "No one to abuse next, sucks being alone." This further justifies the singer's choice to leave, as they do not want to be subjected to the same treatment.


Despite the pain involved, the singer states that they cannot be blamed for leaving. They acknowledge the other person's broken heart, but ultimately prioritize their own well-being and mental health. The repetition of "Ain't going home, no, no" underscores their determination to avoid returning to the toxic relationship.


The closing line, "I could've given up," indicates that despite the challenges faced, the singer has chosen not to give in or continue enduring the toxicity. This suggests a desire for personal growth and a refusal to remain in a harmful situation.

Mind Made Up - Pause For The Cause

LYRICS
Can't even look in your eyes now
(I gotta look away i'm focusing on something else)
My ears reject all your words.
(Yeah. You got a lot to say but everything's about yourself)
And I've seen this coming a long long time.
But we cant keep dragging on through the dirt.
I love you but this one's gonna hurt.
But I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home.
I know you're all messed up no one to abuse and it sucks being alone.
But don't you beg me not to leave, your heart is breaking I know.
But I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home NO NO.
(Yeah. I could have given up on me and only thought of you)
(We would have been the perfect couple even married too.)
(I should have never been the one to break your heart but then I could have would have should have done a damn thing for you)
No girl you didn't get paid now
(I just walked away cause I refuse to be your slave)
Relationships aren't a game
(It's all about the things you do and things you say)
And I've seen this coming a long long time.
But we can't keep running circles in place.
I love you but we both need to change.
And I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home.
I know you're all messed up no one to abuse and it sucks being alone.
But don't you beg me not to leave, your heart is breaking I know.
But I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home NO NO.
(I never meant to be the enemy but i'm not see through)
(I don't accept no heart breaks and I don't inflict them)
(I don't go out looking for them but I can predict them)
(Love comes and goes it ain't nothing but a system)
(Got my bags all packed i'm about to leave)
(Suddenly I woe death to apology)
SO I GUESS I'LL BE ON MY WAY.
And I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home.
I know you're all messed up no one to abuse and it sucks being alone.
But don't you beg me not to leave, your heart is breaking I know.
(But I got my mind made up two feet out the door and I ain't going home NO NO.) x4

I've been watching your cat videos for several years. Just went a little further today to see your music -- dang, dude, you guys are GOOD! Reminds me a little of Twenty One Pilots in story telling (and slightly like the lead singer)

@marccoderre

Given Steve's fame with his cats I'm almost surprised the band isn't called "Paws for the Claws"
