Cover art for Dementia lyrics by Owl City

I think this song is about the start of a new relationship after being hurt in a previous one. His heart is falling in love, but his head is telling him no, so he doesn't get hurt again. It's like he has dementia and is forgetting about all the pain he's been through.

For example:

"Every voice in my head shouted yes and no Every freight train in my head make it stop and go Keep the peace just in case all the magic dies Cause this is drivin' me crazy"

and also...

"Every hand let me go that I tried to hold Every warm hearted love left me freezing cold Keep the peace just in case all the magic dies Cause this is drivin' me crazy"

He's falling in love, but everything he's experienced in his past is telling him not to. He's trying to keep a straight head just in case the magic of this new relationship dies.
