"In My Mind" lyrics
"In My Mind"
Quiet as the city air on a summer night, after it rains
Faster than a bolt of lightning, the speed of a Japanese bullet train
And you know, it's always trying stay awake
But darling running ain't enough to escape from the monsters in my brain
People say I'm quiet most of the time
If only you knew what goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
(I'm not toxic, I swear)
2 in the morning I'm lying awake
These thoughts in my brain
They come out to play
I'm replaying gumball to keep 'em away
Deep in the silence
May end up violent
What an anomaly
What is so wrong with me
(What?)
People say I'm quiet most of the time
If only you knew what goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my, what goes on in my
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my mind
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my, what goes on in my
(If only you knew, if only you knew)
What goes on in my, what goes on in my mind

Lyn Lapid told about this song in a press release, "I wrote 'In My Mind' about my experience growing up as the 'quiet kid'. People would always tell me how I never talked at all and how quiet I was. Well, they weren't wrong, I kept to myself all throughout school, even when I hung out with my friends."
The music
video for this track was directed by Eliot Lee. Lyn Lapid commented on it,
"I wanted the video to center around the many things that run through my mind, and so what better way than to focus on the concept of daydreaming? The entire video focuses on me working at a mundane office job, trying not to doze off while I get paperwork done. Then suddenly you see me go on a rampage, chuck office supplies everywhere, and maybe swing a bat once or twice at my stingy mannequin boss. The catch is that whatever you see when I'm not typing my life away at my computer is all a daydream. It was exhilarating being able to destroy the office space in my little rampage moment. I think it was the first time someone ever told me to let loose and make a mess. I loved working with everyone on set, and one of the best parts was all of the snacks there. Eliot Lee is super talented, and he did a fantastic job bringing my initial vision for the video to life."

Salem Ilese - "Coke & Mentos" You take me back to the third grade
Holding hands on a playdate, oh oh oh
Tongues tied like a shoelace
Heart beats like a horse race
Almost failed out of chem class
Only learned all the fun facts, oh...
Julia Michaels - "What A Time" I feel a little nauseous and my hands are shaking
I guess that means you're close by
My throat is getting dry and my heart is racing
I haven't been by your side
In a minute, but I think about it...
Sabrina Carpenter - "Sue Me" Remember when you said it, there's no second chance?
Oh, baby, I heard you been hoping you could change the past
You miss the long goodnights, you miss the long goodbyes
You miss the long goodnights...
CORPSE - "agoraphobic" Yeah, yeah, hey
'Cause I can't do shit right, I can't learn my lesson
I can't do shit right, take anti-depressants
Illness and welfare robbed my adolescence
My friends probably hate me, can't answer...
Mother Mother - "Burning Pile" All my style, all my grace
All I tried to save my face
All my guts, try to spill
All my holes, try to fill
All my money been a long time spent
On my drugs, on my rent
On my saving philosophy
It goes...
