I Try to Think About Elvis
by
American Aquarium
In a vivid tapestry of cultural references and daily distractions, the song explores the inescapable nature of obsessive thoughts about a significant other. The protagonist lists a diverse array of elements—ranging from iconic figures like Elvis and Oprah to mundane details such as hair-dos and street crimes—in an attempt to divert his attention. However, each effort proves futile as his mind persistently drifts back to the person he cannot stop thinking about. The recurring theme of distraction versus fixation captures the intensity of his emotional preoccupation, revealing how deeply love can infiltrate and dominate one's thoughts. This internal struggle is underlined by the repetitive chorus, which highlights his inability to focus on anything else. #ObsessiveLove #Distraction
