Your Right Mind
The Americans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When danger is bitter
Fall where we stuck them
In cages of tither
And all the bridges you've burned
Leave you trapped off at all sides
And now the tables do turn
And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you, now
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Sit down, you're sinking
There's no one to watch you
Skip town, you're thinking
There's no one to stop you
And all the bridges you've burned
Leave you trapped off at all sides
And now the tables do turn
And it's all gone, what's left for you
And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you, now
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Don't run away
Stop feeling fine
It's better than your worst, your worst day
No words to say, I'll give you mine
And pocket all the hurt, and just stay
Don't run away
It's better than your worst, your worst day
And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you, now
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Don't run away
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Don't run away
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Don't run away
Change your mind
You let go too soon
Don't run away
Change your mind
The lyrics to The Americans' song "Your Right Mind" are about not giving up in the face of adversity. The singer encourages the listener to resist the urge to solve problems with violence and to instead stay in control of their emotions. The second verse paints a picture of isolation and despair, with the singer feeling trapped and alone. However, the chorus offers hope, with the suggestion that the key to overcoming these feelings is to change your mindset and give up on taking the fast road.
The theme of the song is empowerment and the lyrics focus on developing a strong sense of resilience. The singer urges the listener to stay calm in the midst of crisis, to hold on to hope when there may seem little reason to do so, and to fight the urge to flee. At its core, "Your Right Mind" is a song of encouragement, urging us to believe in ourselves and trust that we have the strength to survive any adversity.
