My Song
Titus & Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You don't wanna think about me
But you got my songs tattooed
In your memory
It's complicated
You wanna hate me
It's nauseating
The way you look at me
I'm running laps around your brain
I know you won't come out and say
The way you feel for me
But when you're finally alone
And there's no one else at home
Turn up the radio
Turn up the radio
You sing my songs in the shower
You're screaming the lyrics for hours
Your mom comes in and she's screaming at you
Said turn it down so you turn it up louder
You say you're over me
Ha, okay totally
I know you're jealous of my girlfriend
(Jealous of my girlfriend)
Your love sobriety
Gives you anxiety
But you still say that you don't need me
(Say that you don't need me)
I know no matter what you say
I'm running laps around your brain
I know you won't come out and say
The way you feel for me
But when you're finally alone
And there's no one else at home
Turn up the radio
Turn up the radio
You sing my songs in the shower
You're screaming the lyrics for hours
Your mom comes in and she's screaming at you
Said turn it down so you turn it up louder
Do do do do
La la la la
You sing my songs in the shower
Do do do do
Laaa
You sing my songs in the shower
The lyrics of Titus & Ross's song "My Song" explore a complex and tumultuous relationship dynamic between two individuals who outwardly express indifference towards each other, but are deeply entwined in each other's thoughts and emotions. The singer begins by highlighting the avoidance of thinking about each other, indicating a reluctance to confront their true feelings. Despite this, the other person has the singer's songs imprinted in their memory, symbolized by having them tattooed, suggesting a lasting impact and connection between them.
The lyrics delve into the internal conflict and contradiction within the other person, who outwardly displays animosity and attempts to distance themselves, yet harbors underlying emotions and attachment towards the singer. This creates a sense of tension and discomfort, described as nauseating, which is further emphasized by the way this person looks at the singer. The lyrics convey a sense of knowingness on the singer's part, as they recognize the unspoken emotions and thoughts running through the other person's mind, despite their efforts to deny or conceal them.
The chorus of the song captures a moment of vulnerability and intimacy, where the other person is alone and free to express their true emotions. Singing the singer's songs in the shower is portrayed as a private act of connection and release, where the lyrics are belted out passionately and defiantly. The conflict between the public facade of moving on and the private longing and obsession for the singer is highlighted through the interaction with the other person's mother, who tries to intervene but is met with louder defiance.
The repetition of the lines "Do do do do, La la la la" and "You sing my songs in the shower" at the end of the lyrics reinforces the theme of repetition and the inability to escape from the memories and emotional entanglement with the singer. The act of singing in the shower is symbolic of both vulnerability and catharsis, as well as a private sanctuary where true feelings can be expressed. Overall, the lyrics of "My Song" paint a poignant picture of a complicated and conflicted relationship, where outward appearances belie the deeper emotional currents at play.
