All In Your Mind
Raul Midón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the cool wind brushes our face
You are welcome to do nothing at all
In the lonesome of this sheltered space
Through my eyes you can see the world
Well you might be surprised what you'll find
A cool wind and a warm touch
And a moment that is all in your mind
Might be the time and season for doing
What you've always wanted to do
Put my thoughts on a single page
But the paper didn't have any lines
For painting pictures of magic and light
And a moment that is all in your mind
Yeah, it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
And if you find a reason
To change your point of view
Might be the time and season
For doing what you've always wanted to do
What you wanted to do
Thought to call you the other day
But I figured that you don't have the time
For painting pictures of magic and light
And a moment that is all in our minds
It's a moment that is all in your mind.
And it might be that it's all in your mind.
In Raul Midón's song "All In Your Mind," the singer invites the listener to stand with him on a riverbank where the cool wind brushes their faces. The listener is invited to take a moment to do nothing and just exist in the sheltered space of their own thoughts. Through the singer's perspective, the world can be surprising and filled with both cool winds and warm touches. The singer suggests that if the listener finds a reason to change their point of view, then it may be the time and season for doing what they've always wanted to do.
The second verse describes the difficulty of putting one's thoughts on paper, as the singer attempts to paint pictures of magic and light, but the paper doesn't have any lines. The listener is reminded that the moment of pure imagination and possibility is all in their mind. The singer mentions that they thought about calling the listener, but assumed they wouldn't have the time to indulge in the world of magic and light that exists in their mind. Overall, the song encourages the listener to explore their own imagination and follow their dreams, as it may be the perfect time and season to do so.
Line by Line Meaning
Stand with me on the river bank
Join me in this peaceful place by the river
Where the cool wind brushes our face
We can feel the refreshing breeze against our skin
You are welcome to do nothing at all
You can relax and not worry about anything
In the lonesome of this sheltered space
We can be alone and protected in this space
Through my eyes you can see the world
I can show you my perspective on things
Well you might be surprised what you'll find
You could discover something unexpected
A cool wind and a warm touch
There can be opposing forces that complement each other
And a moment that is all in your mind
The experience can exist solely in your thoughts
And if you find a reason to change your point of view
If you have a reason to see things differently
Might be the time and season for doing
Maybe this is the right time to make a change
What you've always wanted to do
Do what you have always desired
Put my thoughts on a single page
Attempted to express my ideas in writing
But the paper didn't have any lines
The medium for expressing ideas was not conducive
For painting pictures of magic and light
For creating a vivid visual representation of wonder and enlightenment
Yeah, it's all in your mind
The experience may exist solely in your mind
And if you find a reason
If you have a reason
To change your point of view
To alter how you perceive things
Might be the time and season
This could be the opportune moment
For doing what you've always wanted to do
To pursue your long-standing aspirations
Thought to call you the other day
Considered contacting you recently
But I figured that you don't have the time
Assumed you were too busy
And a moment that is all in our minds
An experience that is shared only in our thoughts
It's a moment that is all in your mind.
The experience is singularly within your thoughts
And it might be that it's all in your mind.
The occurrence may primarily exist only in your thoughts
