I think i need a holliday
Oh my word im going insane
I can't tell if its sun or rain
And all these cause they look in pain
And all these voices they sound the same
They go La La La
La La La
Im fadin' out
To shades of blue
My cloudy mind
Only thinks of you
I try so hard
To keep it in
The way I feel under my skin
La La La
LaLa La
La La La
LaLa La
Oh darlin please call my phone
I have no one Im on my own
Tell me everthing is alright
And help you soldier gotta win this fight
My mind is goin crazy
I just need you my baby
Now your here I see your face
My heart is skippin at a different pace
Im fadin' out
To shades of blue
My cloudy mind
Only thinks of you
I try so hard
To keep it in
The way I feel under my skin
And my heart goes Boom Boom Boom
BooPooBoom
Boom Boom Boom
BooPooBoom
And all i can think of baby
Is how your gonna see me
Boy
When Im feelin homesick
When Im feelin lost a bit
And when Im feelin low
I look at you and I know
Im fadin' out
To shades of blue
My cloudy mind
Only thinks of you
I try so hard
To keep it in
The way I feel under my skin
Boom Boom Boom

BooPooBoom and my heart goes

The lyrics of Sydnee Carter's "Under My Skin" delve into the emotions of someone who is going through a tough time and seeking comfort in their loved one. The singer struggles with their mental health and feels like they are going insane, and the daily struggles they face are taking a toll on their well-being. They are unable to differentiate between good and bad things and feel overwhelmed by the constant pain they see in others. The repetition of "La La La" in the song could represent the singer trying to ignore the chaos around them and focusing on their inner turmoil.
The singer seeks comfort in someone they love, asking them to call them and reassure them that everything is going to be okay. They find solace in the presence of their loved one, whose face they see when they feel low. The chorus of "Boom Boom Boom" represents the singer's heart racing with excitement, comfort, and relief in being with their loved one.
The lyrics suggest that mental health issues are complex and challenging to deal with, but with support and the love of the people who care about us, it is possible to find peace and hope.

Love you, keep singing and doing what you love, because we all love it! Brisbane is waiting for you xx :)
