Losing My Mind

SOJA's song 'Losing My Mind' delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who has physically removed reminders of their former partner, such as pictures on the wall, and attempts to convince themselves they are fine alone. The absence of phone calls and conversations signifies a complete cut-off from communication, suggesting a deliberate effort to heal and not dwell on what was lost.

However, the recurring theme of rain serves as a metaphor for moments of weakness and reflection. It's during these times that the protagonist is reminded of the past and the desire to rekindle what was lost becomes overwhelming, leading to a sense of losing control or 'losing my mind.' The internal struggle is evident as the lyrics oscillate between a resolved stance of moving forward and the undeniable pull of nostalgia and longing for the past relationship.

The song also touches on the idea of acceptance and the futility of writing the song itself, as it won't change the past or the feelings that linger. This resignation is tinged with sadness, acknowledging that despite the outward appearance of moving on, there's an internal battle that continues to rage, threatening the narrator's peace of mind. SOJA, known for their reggae-infused music, often explores themes of love, life, and social issues, and 'Losing My Mind' is a poignant example of their exploration of the complexities of the human heart.
