The Head and the Heart - Lost In My Mind
Put your dreams away for now
I won't see you for some time
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind
Momma once told me
You're already home where you feel loved
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind
Oh my brother
Your wisdom is older than me
Oh my brother
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry
Don't you worry, don't worry about me
How's that bricklayin' comin'?
How's your engine runnin'?
Is that bridge gettin' built?
Are your hands gettin' filled?
Won't you tell me, my brother?
'Cause there are stars
Up above
We can start
Moving forward
How's that bricklayin' comin'?
How's your engine runnin'?
Is that bridge gettin' built?
Are your hands gettin' filled?
Won't you tell me, my brother?
'Cause there are stars
Up above
We can start
Moving forward
Lost in my mind
Lost in my mind
Oh I get lost in my mind
Lost, I get lost
I get lost in my mind
Lost in my mind
Yes I get lost in my mind,
Lost, I get lost
I get lost
Oh I get lost
Oh I get...
The Head And The Heart's "Lost In My Mind" is a testament to living in the moment and valuing happiness. Ultimately its message boils down to being able to accept yourself and your position in life, valuing the things that really matter in life, like "the stars up above" rather than work and money -- "bricklaying" and our "hands getting filled." Jonathan Russell, the lead singer, calls us to be honest with ourselves: are we satisfies with the conventional life we're living? If not, we should own up to our position so that "we can start moving forward" The speaker in this song is Jonathan Russell, a guitarist, percussionist, vocalist and lyricist from Virginia. Russell partly sings this song to his brother. Jonathan thinks his brother is too focused on material pursuits, and isn't happy on the inside because he doesn't spend enough time after abstract pursuits. So in essence, Russell is singing out of deep empathy for his brother's situation. This motive sets the tone for the song.
