She combines intellect and feeling to produce a uniquely feminine, understated and occasionally darker minimal grooveβyet one thatβs filled with all the warmth and sensuality of the culture of her Arabic roots and current environment.
Sometimes heavy, always smooth β her sets breathe life into a room β effortlessly offering her dance floor an environment from which to let go into the sound and inside themselves.
Causing trouble with homebase Hushlamb crew since 2008, and more recently under the Brain & Booty moniker, Zeina has her hands full as a working dj, producer and promoter in Montreal, staying focused on delivering an environment that allows for the expression of unique sound.
Expect to hear and feel more from Zeina in the years to come.
In my head
Zeina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I prayed for this life to come true
Now I ride up the hills in the ubs
With the crew mid June
Knowing we cannot lose
In the city where they shake it for the loot
In a place where they flex to hide the truth
Yeah I come in the spot and I swoop
'Cause you trynna figure out my head
In my head, In my head, In my head
Oh I
Won't give in u know I see through your lies
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
My mind
And I know
How you switch trynna fit the roll
Do the most just to get close
Smiling warm but the heart is cold
Want me down you just want my lows
So many friends turn into foes
And at the top thats how life goes
And I know
And I know
You know the feeling
See it I want it
305 ocean drive on a Sunday morning
Type of life everybody wanna be living
Make the moves go right so I know I get it
Life's a bitch gotta play her
'Cause she unforgiving
If you can't move forward you ain't with it
Takin notes on who's out here moving suspect
And I go ghost just to filter out the toxic
In my head, In my head, In my head
Oh I
Won't give in u know I see through ur lies
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
My mind
And I know
How you switch trynna fit the roll
Do the most just to get close
Smiling warm but the heart is cold
Want me down you just want my lows
So many friends turn into foes
And at the top thats how life goes
And I know
And I know
The lyrics of Zeina's song "In My Head" speak about the singer's self-awareness and determination to achieve her goals in life despite the challenges she may face, such as people doubting her, talking behind her back or pretending to be her friends. The first verse shows a flashback to the time when Zeina was praying for her dreams to come true, and now, she's living her dream and enjoying the success that comes with it while hanging out with her crew. Zeina is aware of the city's party scene, where people dance to shake off their problems, and although she's part of it, she doesn't forget who she is and what she wants. She's confident in her abilities and knows that people are trying to figure her out and talk about her, but she won't let them intimidate her.
The chorus emphasizes Zeina's resilience and independence, as she repeats that she won't give in to anyone's lies or let anyone in her mind. She's aware that people are trying to get close to her for their benefit and not hers, and she won't let them bring her down. The second verse repeats and emphasizes the same idea that people are unpredictable and can easily switch from being friends to enemies, but Zeina is aware of this and won't let them affect her. She acknowledges that life at the top can be tough, but she's determined to stay focused and move forward towards her dreams.

Flash back last year in my room
Remembering a past moment in the past year alone in her room
When I prayed for this life to come true
Begging for the life she is now living
Now I ride up the hills in the ubs
Cruising in the city with her crew
With the crew mid June
With her group in the middle of June
Knowing we cannot lose
Having confidence that they won't fail
In the city where they shake it for the loot
Living in a place where people show off for their own gain
In a place where they flex to hide the truth
In a society where people flaunt material possessions to mask the truth
Yeah I come in the spot and I swoop
Making a grand entrance and taking over the scene
And I know you talking shit
Aware that someone is spreading rumors or hate
'Cause you trynna figure out my head
Because they are trying to understand her thoughts and feelings
In my head, In my head, In my head
Repeating the fact that all of this is in her mind
Oh I
Expressing frustration or disappointment
Won't give in u know I see through your lies
She won't give up and can see through someone's dishonesty
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
She can't allow anyone to mess with her thoughts
Oh no I can't let anyone in my mind
Reinforcing the idea that she must guard her mind
My mind
Emphasizing that all of this is about her own thoughts and feelings
And I know
Acknowledging that she is aware of something
How you switch trynna fit the roll
Realizing how someone changes to fit in
Do the most just to get close
Going over the top just to seem close to someone
Smiling warm but the heart is cold
Appearing friendly but actually having a cold heart
Want me down you just want my lows
Feeling like someone is only around when things are bad
So many friends turn into foes
Experiencing betrayal from former friends
And at the top that's how life goes
Understanding that in high positions, people will try to bring you down
You know the feeling
Referencing an understood feeling
See it I want it
Spotting something she desires
305 ocean drive on a Sunday morning
Dreaming of a luxurious address on a relaxed day
Type of life everybody wanna be living
Yearning for a life that most people desire
Make the moves go right so I know I get it
Planning to make the right moves to achieve that life
Life's a bitch gotta play her
Life can be challenging, but you have to make the most of it
'Cause she unforgiving
Because life doesn't give any free passes
If you can't move forward you ain't with it
If someone can't make progress, they won't make it
Takin notes on who's out here moving suspect
Being cautious and watching out for suspicious behavior
And I go ghost just to filter out the toxic
Disappearing to remove negative influences from her life
And I know
Reiterating that she knows something
How you switch trynna fit the roll
Understanding how someone might change to fit in
Do the most just to get close
Realizing someone is going above and beyond just to be near her
Smiling warm but the heart is cold
Being aware that someone is being friendly even though their heart isn't warm
Want me down you just want my lows
Feeling like someone only wants to be a part of her life when things are bad
So many friends turn into foes
Having been betrayed by people she thought were close friends
And at the top that's how life goes
Accepting that people in high positions will always have to deal with negative behavior
And I know
Ending with another statement of self-awareness
