Left of My Right Mind

By SteveSkiano on June 30, 2024 5:16 pm

Lyrics:
Just take a breath
Sit in a dark room
Focus on my chest
That’s supposed to fix this shit

But my mind just keeps on racing round in circles
And no, I don’t want to read your book, or your blog, or hear your podcast

I’m leaning to the left of my right mind
Sanity turns to wave goodbye
And I’m not so sure
she’s ever coming back

Great now I’m broke
Therapy’s expensive
This shit’s a joke
A whole industry of frauds

all they really want is to dig into my pockets, not my mind
I’ve already tried the brain zaps, mushrooms, and Sonoran frog spit

I’m leaning to the left of my right mind
Sanity turns to wave goodbye
And I’m not so sure
she’s ever coming back

EMDR, CBT
What the hell is wrong with me?
IFS, DBT
What the hell is wrong with me?
Positive psychology
What the hell is wrong with me?
ACT, MBCT
What the fuck is wrong with me?

I’m leaning to the left of my right mind
Sanity turns to wave goodbye
And I’m not so sure
she’s ever coming back

Love the space in the main groove when it starts, and how it builds with the electric guitar. As always, I love your lyrics and vocals - great layering this week. Between the sound instrumental work and the vocals, this one makes me think of Girlfriend-era Matthew Sweet.  Great track! (Also “Sonoran frog spit” - LOL)

Great tune and lyrics. Vocals, and in particular your harmonies, are awesome. The overlapping vocals are a great touch. I need to keep that in mind. I had to look into your initialisms...lol. Mindfulness (or mindlessness, as I call it since that's really what the goal seems to be) is about all one can find anymore. Listening? Questions to ponder? It just don't seem to happen anymore. Nice work!
