Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, oooh oooh, oooh

With your feet in the air and
Your head on the ground
You try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
And there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Way out in the water see her swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks, yeah
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind

Way out in the water see her swimmin'

With your feet in the air and
Your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Way out in the water see her swimmin'

Oooh, oooh oooh, oooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Where Is My Mind" by Zombina and the Skeletones are open to interpretation, but they seem to explore themes of disorientation, confusion, and feeling lost. The opening verse speaks of a disconnection between the body and mind, as illustrated by the unusual position of having one's feet in the air and head on the ground. The lines "You try this trick and spin it" suggest an attempt to change one's perspective or alter reality in some way. However, this trick leads to a collapse of the mind, leaving it empty and searching for answers. The repeated question, "Where is my mind," reflects the singer's confusion and yearning for understanding.

The mention of being "way out in the water" and seeing someone swimming adds another layer of metaphorical meaning. Water often symbolizes the depths of the subconscious or emotions. This person swimming in the water could represent someone who is more in touch with their emotions or has a clearer sense of self. The singer may feel detached from this sense of inner clarity and desperately longs for it.

Overall, "Where Is My Mind" appears to be a contemplation of mental disarray, existential questions, and the desire to find a sense of self or purpose.

Line by Line Meaning

With your feet in the air and
In a state of disorientation and confusion

Your head on the ground
Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain

You try this trick and spin it, yeah
Attempting to deceive yourself and change perception

Your head will collapse
Your thoughts and emotions will become unstable

And there's nothing in it
There is a void of understanding and clarity

And you'll ask yourself
You'll question your own sanity and sense of self

Where is my mind
Where is my mental stability and coherence

Way out in the water see her swimmin'
Floating far away from reality, lost in thoughts

I was swimmin' in the carribean
Engulfed in a fantasy or escape from reality

Animals were hiding behind the rocks, yeah
The truths and realities are concealed and obscured

Except the little fish
Except for the small hints or insights
