Losing My Mind
Sam the Astronaut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you feel alright
I'm about to lose my mind
You didn't need the time
You got bored of us
And didn't wanna try
You said "I'm living life"
But when we were young
Too young to know
It made me feel alright
It made me feel alright
When life was fun
Throwin' sticks and stones
It made me feel alright
It made me feel alright
And if you're worried about
Me losing my mind
Tell it to me straight Woah Oh
Tell it to me straight Woah Oh
And if you're worried about
You loving the night
Tell it to me straight Woah oh
Or maybe I'm just afraid Woah oh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouu
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouu
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouu
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me
So colour me red
When you were sleeping in my bed
Oh you were thinking bout him instead
Yeah I was hoping for the sun to set
Sun to set
But when you're looking for me in the
Pitch black broken up cold
Thinking that love was enough to get home
Oh man I never knew a heart so cold
Heart so old
And if you're worried about
Me losing my mind
Tell it to me straight Woah oh
Tell it to me straight Woah oh
If you're worried about
You loving the night
Tell it to me straight Woah oh
Or maybe I'm just afraid Woah oh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me
What do you want me
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me
What do you want me
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me to say ouuh
What do you want me to say ah
What do you want me
What do you want me
The song "Losing My Mind" by Sam the Astronaut is a song about a break-up and the feelings that come with it. The song starts off by setting the tone – "today is cold, but you feel alright." This line suggests that the singer is not doing well after the break-up, but the other person seems to be moving on just fine. The singer expresses their frustration by saying "I'm about to lose my mind", indicating that they are struggling to cope with the end of the relationship.
The second verse of the song reflects on happier times. The singer remembers when they were young and carefree, and how those moments made them feel alright. As the song progresses, the singer becomes more desperate for answers. They ask the other person to "let them in" and reveal why the relationship ended. The chorus repeats the same question: "what do you want me to say?" This line suggests that the other person is not being truthful or forthcoming about their feelings, which is causing the singer even more frustration.
In the bridge of the song, the singer reflects on the times they spent with the other person, and how they always hoped the relationship would last. But now they see that the other person was thinking about someone else, and they are left feeling alone and heartbroken. The song ends with the same question: "what do you want me to say?" This time, it's clear that the singer is asking for closure and an explanation for the end of their relationship.
In summary, "Losing My Mind" is a song about the pain and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship, and the desperation for answers that can sometimes accompany it.

I sold a keyboard to one of you once. You said you were in a band called Sam the Astronaut - then you popped up on my news feed a year later so I decided to listen. Glad I did, ya'll are tight! I hope my keyboard made it into your music somewhere!
Stay beautiful
