Here In My Head Lyrics

Cover art for Here In My Head lyrics by Tori Amos

It's about being used...the guy's got a girlfriend, and she's just "the horizon you run to when she has left you"...so she doesn't mean that much to him, he's ultimately just using her, yet he's constantly in her head...she adores him. the way she wails "hey, do you know know what this is doing to me, here in my head?" is so emotional it's spine chilling, shows how much he means to her, how much he's taken over her...

He's lying to her: "So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born in your back yard, like you have said...", and she doesn't mean anything to him compared to what he means to her. Sometimes he'll have her, sometimes not. "i found you there...but you don't oh dare now..." It's a painful situation.
