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
I Try to Think About Elvis
Lyrics
I try to think about Elvis
Memphis
Oprah in the afternoon
I try to think about palm trees
Fig leaves
The creature from the black lagoon
I try to think about high heels
And good deals
Anything to get me through
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days
I try to contemplate the cosmos
What goes
Round and round the sky at night
I try to think about champagne
Freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines
Street crimes
Everytime I think I might
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days
My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do
My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do
I try to think about Shakespeare
Leap year
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones
I try to think about hair-do's
Tattoos
Sushi bars and saxophones
I try to think about the talk shows
New clothes
But I guess I should have known
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days
You're all I think about these days
