Lyrics
[breathy close-mic whispers, distant vinyl crackle, soft heartbeat percussion fading in]
In my head…
Mmm… all up in my head…
[glitchy female vocal flutter pans left to right]
[Verse 1]
[smooth intimate delivery, Rhodes floating over muted kick + soft trap hats]
Late night, city lights blur through my windowpane
Your shadow lingers even though you’re miles away
Trace the outline of your name on foggy glass
Fingers slipping, chasing moments that didn’t last
Pour another drink, let the liquor slow dance
But it don’t wash you out, it only enhances
The way you move in slow motion behind my eyes
Every touch replayed in 4K every night
Every night… night…
[Pre-Chorus]
[layered harmonies swelling, sidechain pulse breathing with the kick]
Why you got this hold on me?
Even when you’re gone I feel you close… so close…
Too close…
[Chorus]
[stacked feminine crowd chants, wider 808 glide, lush harmonies filling stereo field]
In my head, in my head
All up in my head, boy you never left
In my head, in my head
Running circles ’round my bed, got me obsessed
In my… in my…
All up in my head…
[chopped & screwed vocal layers echoing into reverb]
Head… head… head…
[Post-Chorus]
[detuned pads swell, heartbeat percussion isolated briefly]
Can’t let you go…
Even in my dreams you pull me closer…
[glitch vocal fragments stutter softly]
[Verse 2]
[slightly darker atmosphere, heavier sub-bass pulse, airy harmonies underneath lead]
Smell your cologne on the hoodie that I stole
Play our song again, losing all control
Dreams so vivid I can taste your lips on mine
Wake up reaching for your body every time
You’re a ghost in my sheets, secret I can’t keep
Bittersweet addiction got me losing sleep
Every notification make my heartbeat skip
Praying it was you… but it never is
Never is…
[Pre-Chorus]
[harmonies thicken, drums pull back slightly for emotional lift]
Why you got this hold on me?
Even in the silence you’re the only voice I need…
[Chorus]
[bigger drums, shimmering harmonies, gliding 808 bends between lines]
In my head, in my head
All up in my head, boy you never left
In my head, in my head
Running circles ’round my bed, got me obsessed
In my… in my…
All up in my head…
[Bridge]
[strip production back — Rhodes, heartbeat kick, airy reverb tail, intimate lead vocal]
If I said I miss you…
Would it matter anyway?
Am I just a memory
You replay?
Or do you feel me too…
In your head…
All up in your head…
[glitchy vocal layers slowly swell and distort]
In my head… your head… our bed…
[Final Chorus]
[full production explodes back in, stacked harmonies, emotional climax, ad-libs floating throughout]
In my head, in my head
All up in my head and I can’t forget
In my head, in my head
You’re the sweetest kind of pain, my favorite regret
In my… in my…
All up in my head…
[crowd chants + chopped vocals repeat underneath lead]
[Outro]
[detuned synth pads, fading heartbeat percussion, distant feminine crowd chants dissolving into reverb]
In my head…
Mmm… all up in my head…
[soft vinyl crackle remains as the reverb slowly fades to silence]
