In My Head

Galantis' song 'In My Head' delves into the overwhelming and consuming nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated, to the point where their thoughts and emotions are dominated by the presence of their beloved. The opening lines, 'Gasp four days but it's out of my hands / When I wake alone, I'm catching my breath,' suggest a sense of helplessness and longing. The protagonist is caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unable to control their feelings or escape the thoughts of their loved one.

The chorus, 'Now you're in my head and it's out of my hands / When you're in my thoughts I don't wanna pretend,' highlights the internal struggle between wanting to express their love openly and the fear of vulnerability. The metaphor of love being 'a tonne of bricks that will fade away' suggests that while the weight of these emotions is heavy, there is hope that they will eventually dissipate. However, the repeated line 'I do it for you' signifies a deep commitment and willingness to endure these intense feelings for the sake of the person they love.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of losing control, as seen in the lines 'And I lose control, with you / But you're in my head.' This loss of control is both exhilarating and terrifying, as the protagonist grapples with the intensity of their emotions. The imagery of love being 'a wave washing over my mind' and 'my heart is on fire' further emphasizes the all-consuming nature of their feelings. Ultimately, 'In My Head' captures the essence of being deeply in love, where rationality takes a backseat, and emotions run wild.
