In My Arms
Synkro & Manos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's not the same
But I feel it any way
Tell me if that's okay
No, I'll be on my way
Should've known, now I feel insane
Am I insane?

I've waited way too long
Yeah, I know you've changed
You have a different face to me
I guess that I was wrong
I'm the one to blame
And that's a shame, you see

Ooh-ooh you're in my head
And I keep on forgettin'
Ooh-ooh, you're here instead
And it seems never ending
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-ooh I know, I know you've changed
You don't feel the same
Ooh-ooh, you're in my head

You say it's all alright
But you're not who's up at night
You'll probably say "we tried"
This feels like all a lie
While you tend to try and hide
Your hold has got me tight

I've waited way too long
Yeah, I know you've changed
You have a different face to me
I guess that I was wrong
I'm the one to blame
And that's a shame, you see

Ooh-ooh, you're in my head
And I keep on forgettin'
Ooh-ooh, you're here instead
And it seems never ending
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-ooh I know, I know you've changed
You don't feel the same
Ooh-ooh, you're in my head

And nothing else is right
You're laced inside my mind
I'm holding on, I know it's wrong
But I can't see your side
And everything has changed
You're only in my brain
I can't seem to let this be
But I guess I'll refrain

Ooh-ooh, you're in my head
And I keep on forgettin'
Ooh-ooh, you're here instead
And it seems never ending
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-ooh I know, I know you've changed




You don't feel the same
Ooh-ooh, you're in my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Synkro & Manos's song In My Arms speak about the pain that one feels when they hold onto a relationship that has changed. The singer knows that things are not the same anymore but still feels the same way. It's difficult for the singer to accept the change and move on. There is a sense of contradiction in the lyrics when the singer says "Tell me if that's okay... No, I'll be on my way" as if they are not sure about leaving the relationship. The lyrics also evoke a sense of insanity as the singer questions "Am I insane?" It's understandable because when one holds onto something that has already changed, it might be mentally taxing.


The refrain that repeats throughout the song "Ooh-ooh, you're in my head and I keep on forgettin'" highlights the struggle of letting go. Even though the singer knows deep down that the relationship is not the same and that the other person has changed, they still can't forget them. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics where the singer says "You're laced inside my mind" and "I can't seem to let this be." The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has gone through a relationship that has changed but still finds it hard to let go of the person.
