Lost My Mind
Sumerlands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cluttered by confusion
On the verge of insanity
Hopeful disillusion
But I′m fine, lost my mind
It happens all of the time
See the signs, still I'm blind
I feel it go, slipping through my fingers
Take all that I know, a small bit of prudence lingers
Splinters of lucidity
Cluttered by confusion
On the verge of insanity
Hopeful disillusion
But I′m fine, lost my mind
It happens all of the time
See the signs, still I'm blind
So what if it happens just one more time
In the lyrics of "Lost My Mind" by Sumerlands, the singer expresses a state of mental turmoil and confusion. The phrase "splinters of lucidity cluttered by confusion" suggests that there are brief moments where the singer has clarity and understanding, but these moments are overshadowed by the chaos and lack of clarity in their mind. They feel on the verge of insanity, teetering between hope and disillusionment.
Despite this inner turmoil, the singer claims to be fine and acknowledges that losing their mind is something that happens frequently. They are almost sarcastic when they say, "See the signs, still I'm blind." This line implies that although they may recognize the warning signs of their declining mental state, they are unable to prevent it from happening again.
The second verse continues this theme of losing control. The singer feels their sanity slipping away, unable to hold onto the knowledge and understanding they possess. They acknowledge that a small amount of caution remains, indicating that they still have some rationality left, even amidst the chaos.
