Meaning of “Lose My Mind” by Dean Lewis
On the song “Lose My Mind” by Australian singer Dean Lewis, the narrator finds himself deeply worried about losing a very special person to him. From the lyrics, we find out that that person is his lover. The narrator apparently hurt her in some way for her to say goodbye to him.
According to the song’s writer (Dean Lewis), the lyrics are about the sad and hopeless feeling that overcomes you when you are about losing someone that “you can’t live without”.
Based on the above statement by Lewis himself, we guess it is safe to say the lyrics of “Lose My Mind” are autobiographical. In effect, Lewis once found himself in that unpalatable situation where for some reason the relationship he had with a very special person to him collapsed. While we don’t know what caused him to lose that person, it’s abundantly clear his life was rife with misery – misery so intense he felt like he was losing his mind. Hence the song’s title “Lose My Mind”.
