On My Mind
S.A.L.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without peace and little sleep
Can't cool down and unwind
What I'm feeling is a feeling
That's just you down deep
Got a man on my mind
Haven't seen him for so long
He's always on the go
I don't care whatever happens
One thing I do know
Got a man on my mind
Sometimes I stand there
Just starrin' into space
And I talk about how I feel (yeah yeah)
Being there
Yet I clearly see his face
And I hold him and he's quite real
Never thought that I could care
For anyone that much
Oh how wrong can you be
I'm so hungry for his kisses
For his tender touch
He's the whole world for me
Oooh
Walk around in circles
Without peace and without sleep
Can't cool down and unwind
What I'm feeling is a feeling
That's just you down deep
Got a man on my mind
Sometimes I stand there
Just starrin' into space
And I talk about how I feel (oh yeah)
Being there
Yet I clearly see his face
And I hold him and he's quite real
Walk around in circles
Without peace and without sleep
Got a man on my mind
I'm hungry for kisses
I'm thirsty for love
Got a man on my mind
The lyrics of “On My Mind” by S.A.L.M focuses on the feeling of longing for someone who is always on the go, and the constant yearning for their presence. The singer is unable to cool down or unwind because this person is always on their mind, even causing them to circle around in their thoughts. They admit to talking about their feelings frequently and staring off into space, seeing the person's face vividly in their mind. The singer deeply cares for this individual and is hungry for their love and affection.
The use of repetition of “walk around in circles” emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in one's thoughts and anxieties. The line “Not the sticking round kind” implies that the person they are thinking about may not be interested in staying in one place for long, causing the singer to feel helpless in their longing. The repeated phrase “Got a man on my mind” reinforces the obsessive nature of the singer’s thoughts.
One interesting fact about the song “On My Mind” is that S.A.L.M is the musical project of German producer and musician Michael Schulte. The song was released in 2021 and is part of his album titled “Stay”. Schulte represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2018 with the song “You Let Me Walk Alone”. Additionally, the music video for “On My Mind” was shot in summer 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with precautions taken to ensure safe filming.
Another interesting fact is that the song has been described as having a nostalgic and romantic 90s pop sound. Schulte himself has cited 90s music as an influence on his music. “On My Mind” has also been described as having a catchy chorus and a relatable lyrical theme.

Line by Line Meaning
Walk around in circles
I feel lost and aimless, unsure of what to do next
Without peace and little sleep
My mind won't stop racing, and I can't find any rest
Can't cool down and unwind
I'm constantly on edge, unable to calm myself
What I'm feeling is a feeling
These emotions are consuming me, taking over my every thought
That's just you down deep
These feelings are all because of you and what you mean to me
Got a man on my mind
You are all I can think about right now
Haven't seen him for so long
It's been too long since we've been together
He's always on the go
You're a busy person, always on the move
Not the sticking round kind
You don't like to stay in one place for too long
I don't care whatever happens
No matter what comes our way, I will still feel this way about you
One thing I do know
I'm certain that I love you and can't stop thinking about you
Sometimes I stand there
I get lost in my thoughts and just stand still
Just starrin' into space
My mind is completely focused on you, with nothing else grabbing my attention
And I talk about how I feel (yeah yeah)
I try to express how much I love you to anyone who will listen
Being there
Even though you're not with me, I feel like you're here in spirit
Yet I clearly see his face
I can picture you perfectly in my mind, as if you're standing right in front of me
And I hold him and he's quite real
In my mind, I'm able to hold you close and feel your presence
Never thought that I could care
I used to think love like this wasn't possible for me
For anyone that much
I never believed I could love someone as deeply as I love you
Oh how wrong can you be
Now I realize just how wrong I was, and how much I truly love you
I'm so hungry for his kisses
I long to feel your lips against mine once again
For his tender touch
Your touch is one of the things I miss the most
He's the whole world for me
You mean everything to me, and I can't imagine my life without you
I'm thirsty for love
I crave your love and affection constantly

We we're young
I was wrong to let you
go alone
I was wrong to sing out
to sing out
to sing and go alone
I was wrong to sing out
Don't you know you're always on my mind?
Yeah, you know you're always on my mind.
Don't you know you're always on my mind?
Yeah, you know you're always on my mind.
come on
come on
come ooooooon
Don't you know you're always on my mind?
Yeah, you know you're always on my mind.
