Despite being used recently in some shitty song, this is still one of my favorite Imogen Heap songs.

The lyrics are wide open for interpretation

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can’t be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won’t catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a (you don’t care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
oh no, you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit

4 non-blondes - What’s up

The shit she comes up with while I’m doing algebra homework is astounding. BTW, looking back at the artists of the early 90s is just a massive reminder that I was born 10 years too fucking late to really appreciate the culture and music. 11 year olds don’t get it the way 21 year olds would.

She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart

Some days, I have no idea what my Mental DJ is thinking when she lines up tracks to play. Not at all sure where this one fits with the other two.

Skin - Trashed

I swear I’m not feeling emo or broken hearted or anything today.

Janet Jackson feat Q-Tip - Got til it’s gone

I’d be remiss if I didn’t post this one on strength of the last one. Hell this is how I found out about Big Yellow Taxi to begin with. My family was not big on Joni.

I woke up the other day with this song on my brain.

Fastball - The Way.

No clue why this one popped up since I haven’t heard it in years. The DJ spins what she damn well feels like and there’s no asking her why and what for.

My Mental DJ is a collection of songs that play in my head during the day. Sometimes they’re great songs. Sometimes they’re horrible songs. Other times they’re songs that I have no idea why they’re stuck in my head, they just are.

I’ll probably take submissions later, for now, you’ll have to sit back and enjoy my earworms.
