Lost My Mind

In 'Lost My Mind,' Finneas delves into the consuming nature of love and longing. The song opens with a vivid metaphor, comparing the person of interest to a song that he can't get out of his head. This sets the tone for the entire piece, highlighting how deeply ingrained this person has become in his thoughts. The lyrics 'You're the calm in the storm, you're the voice sayin' / Come back to bed' suggest a sense of comfort and safety that this person provides, making it clear that their presence is both soothing and essential.

As the song progresses, Finneas explores the idea of unexpected love with lines like 'Maybe you're what I never saw comin'' and 'Not since I found what I never went lookin' for.' These lyrics indicate that the love he feels was unanticipated but has now become a central part of his life. The recurring question, 'Am I in your head / Half as often as you're on my mind?' reveals his insecurity and yearning for reciprocation, emphasizing the emotional turmoil he experiences.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and the difficulty of moving on. The lines 'There's an empty space beside me / And I'll keep it that way until you're here' and 'I sent her away / 'Cause you're not here' illustrate his unwillingness to fill the void left by this person with anyone else. This highlights the depth of his attachment and the extent to which this person has affected his emotional state. Finneas's raw and honest lyrics, combined with his hauntingly beautiful melody, create a poignant portrayal of love's complexities and the mental struggle that often accompanies it.
