Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And see what you get
Spin the wheel
I know you wanna be a predator
Not much to do
When you live in the
Ghost world
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
And why won't you leave?
I don't want you to
Off your axis
Souped-up face
I got my steel wool in my pocket
With the turbo engine
Cause I got to escape
Because I got to escape
The ghost world
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
And why won't you leave?
I don't want you to
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
Alien in my head
The lyrics of "Come On in My Kitchen" by V.M. Bhatt and N.Ravikiran seem to explore the notion of being trapped in a state of mind which is beyond one's control. The opening lines, "Spin the wheel and see what you get, I know you wanna be a predator" suggests that life is all about chance and fate, and that one must be willing to take risks to succeed. This is followed by the recurring motif of the "ghost world", which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a state of consciousness that is troubled or unfocused.
The line "Alien in my head" suggests that there is an intrusive force that is causing disturbance to the singer's peace of mind. The refrain "And why won't you leave? I don't want you to" is an intriguing one because it suggests that the singer is not entirely at odds with this mind-altering force, and perhaps even feels a sense of comfort in its presence. The final lines of the song, "Off your axis, souped-up face, I got my steel wool in my pocket with the turbo engine, cause I got to escape" could be understood as a call to action to escape from this world of incoherent thoughts and negative energies.

Spin the wheel
Take a chance
And see what you get
And see what fate has in store
Spin the wheel
Another reminder to take a chance
I know you wanna be a predator
You have a desire to be in control
Not much to do
There's not a lot of options
When you live in the ghost world
When you live in a world haunted by past regrets
Alien in my head
Intrusive thoughts and worries in my mind
Alien in my head
Anxiety and stress that won't go away
Alien in my head
Negative thoughts and emotions that keep bothering me
Alien in my head
A metaphor for mental health struggles
And why won't you leave?
Why can't these thoughts and emotions go away?
I don't want you to
I can't control these thoughts
Off your axis
Feeling unbalanced and unstable
Souped-up face
Fake or exaggerated emotions
I got my steel wool in my pocket
I'm prepared to scrub away any negative emotions
With the turbo engine
With a burst of motivation or energy
Cause I got to escape
Because I need to break free from these negative thoughts
The ghost world
The haunting thoughts and memories of the past
Alien in my head
Repeating the metaphor of the struggles of mental health
Alien in my head
Continuing to emphasize the weight of these thoughts and emotions
Alien in my head
Repeating the metaphor once more to drive the point home
Alien in my head
Ending the song with a final reminder of this ongoing struggle
