In My Mind
The Amazons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No you can't reach me on my phone
No you can't see me, 'cause I'm better off alone
Don't have the strength to carry on
Don't have the guts to let you know what's going on
Baby, in my mind
I've begun to realise
Baby, in my mind
You're not the one I need
Baby, in my mind
But you're everything I see
I wanna love, it's not enough
You've got me crawlin' back forever, baby

It's not a question of what's wrong
It's not a question, girl I know I led you on
When I'm afraid to be alone
When indecision comes to call, I know we're done
Baby, in my mind
I've begun to realise
Baby, in my mind
You're not the one I need
Baby, in my mind
But you're everything I see
I wanna love, it's not enough
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby

Yeah, baby, in my mind
I've begun to realise
Baby, in my mind
You're not the one I need
Baby, in my mind
But you're everything I see
I wanna love, it's not enough
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby
Crawlin' back forever baby
Crawlin' back forever baby
I wanna' love, it's not enough
You've got me crawlin' back forever baby
(Crawlin' back forever)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Amazons' song "In My Mind" depict a person who is struggling with their feelings for someone they have been involved with. The singer is not able to connect with the other person in a meaningful way and decides to end the relationship. The singer struggles with this decision but ultimately realizes that they need to move on. In their mind, the other person is not the one they need, but they cannot seem to shake the image of them out of their mind. The chorus repeats the phrases "Baby, in my mind, I've begun to realize, You're not the one I need, But you're everything I see."


The song highlights the difficulty of breaking off a relationship when the feelings are still there. The singer has a real desire to love and be loved, but knows that it is not enough to keep crawling back to the same person who is not the right fit for them. The repetition of the phrase "crawlin' back forever baby" shows the struggle of the singer to move on from the person they are addressing in the song. There is a sense of sadness, longing, and emotional stress throughout the song as the singer tries to reconcile their feelings for the other person with their own inner turmoil.

No you can't reach me on my phone
You won't be able to contact me through phone


No you can't see me, 'cause I'm better off alone
I prefer being by myself and don't want to see you


Don't have the strength to carry on
I don't have the energy to continue this relationship


Don't have the guts to let you know what's going on
I don't have the courage to tell you what's happening with us


Baby, in my mind
In my thoughts


I've begun to realise
I'm starting to understand


You're not the one I need
You're not the right person for me


But you're everything I see

I wanna love, it's not enough
I want to love, but love alone is not sufficient


You've got me crawlin' back forever, baby
You have me coming back to you, never-endingly


It's not a question of what's wrong
The problem is not about what's incorrect

When I can't decide, I know this relationship is over

Yes, in my thoughts


Crawlin' back forever baby
Coming back to you repeatedly

@@myssangela4872 They (Royal Blood) have a similar instrumental sound with the old Muse.
I'm a huge Muse fan. But I haven't gotten into Royal Blood much. Heard a couple of their songs tho'. They sound great.
