Don't Don't come around I've been working on myself Tryna find the ground And I've found A new way out of my head Talk slow so I shouldn't drown Oh maybe we could see A little of each other Unpacking all of me I'm not the same that I was back then Butting heads, starting fights, count my breath to ten I got a mind with a double life Take me way too far like an ex at night I'm used to an overdrive Fell in love with wasted time Far from the city lights Where I lost my mind Where I lost my mind Home I'm home now By the trees and the woods Wherе I walk around Oh big clouds Where my head is now I got timе alone Can't pull me down Maybe we could see (Maybe we could see) A little of each other Unpacking all of me (Unpacking all of me) I'm not the same that I was back then Butting heads, starting fights, count my breath to ten I got a mind with a double life Take me way too far like an ex at night I'm used to an overdrive Fell in love with wasted time Far from the city lights Where I lost my mind Sometimes I feel lonely yet obsessive and I used to cope by doing things that get me lonely again Back and forth on things I did and things I said But it's over now I'm not the same that I was back then (I'm not the same that I was) Butting heads, starting fights, count my breath to ten (one, two, three) I got a mind with a double life (a double life) Take me way too far like an ex at night (oh like an ex at night) I'm used to an overdrive (an overdrive) Fell in love with wasted time (wasted time) Far from the city lights (far from the city lights) Where I lost my mind Far from the city lights (far from the city lights) Where I lost my mind Far from the city lights (far from the city lights) Where I lost my mind

Meaning of "Lost My Mind" by Tanner Carlson
The lyrics paint a picture of someone actively recovering from a period of intense internal turmoil, marked by a chaotic mind and destructive habits. The narrator is establishing boundaries, stating, "Don't come around," as they focus on self-work and finding stability, "Tryna find the ground." This deliberate separation is crucial for their healing, allowing them to discover "A new way out of my head" and avoid being overwhelmed. The central tension lies in the contrast between the narrator's past self and their present state of recovery. They acknowledge a "mind with a double life" and a tendency towards "overdrive" and "wasted time," suggesting a history of self-sabotage and impulsive behavior, perhaps fueled by the "city lights." Now, seeking solace "By the trees and the woods," they are embracing solitude and a slower pace, aiming to "unpack" their past without succumbing to old patterns. The repeated phrase "Where I lost my mind" functions as an anchor, a stark reminder of the place and state the narrator is actively leaving behind. This isn't just about a physical location but a mental and emotional wilderness. The deliberate repetition emphasizes the gravity of that experience and the profound relief found in the current, quieter existence, where they can finally feel "home" and "can't pull me down."
