On Your Mind
White Reaper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a while
Since you seemed like? and I hate to see you like that
You say "I'm tired, I lost my mind"
If you love me then?
But you don't need anything
You say, "let me be, oh don't come near me"
I'm trying?
not trying to be??
You're under the weather
You feel like you never
And I'm getting older
And I should have told her she's on my mind all the time
So lets? and close our eyes
You're so selfish you always want all of the (?) for yourself
You say, "let me be, oh don't come near me"
I'm trying?
I'm trying all the time
not trying to be??
(I give up on these lyrics sorry)
In "On Your Mind," White Reaper sings about a person who seems to be struggling with something in their life. The singer is concerned about this person's well-being and asks them why they don't smile anymore. They express their dislike for seeing the person in this state and acknowledges that they seem tired and have lost their mind. The singer also confesses their love for the person and reminds them that they don't need anything from them. However, the person responds by demanding they be left alone, not wanting any closeness or interaction. Nevertheless, the singer is determined to help and support the person and assures them that they are trying all the time.
As the song progresses, the singer seems to become more frustrated with the person's behavior. They call the person selfish for wanting everything for themselves and not sharing or accepting any help. But despite this, the singer still wants to be with the person and keep them close, even if that means holding them tight and closing their eyes.
Overall, the song appears to be about someone who is struggling but reluctant to seek help or accept it from others. The singer wants to support and care for this person, but their efforts seem to be met with resistance and rejection.
