R+P Post 18: Analysis of my track's lyrics and instrumentation

Here is a lyric video that we used to help us work out how we would divide the video.

[Intro]
Mind, mind, you think I would
Mind, you think I would, mind
Mind, you think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh, my mind
Mind, mind, you think I would
Mind, you think I would, mind
Mind, you think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh, my mind

The almost incomprehensible lyrics at the start illustrate the uneasy mind of the artist, finding the words in her mind to express how she feels is an impossible task. The incoherent loop here reflects the relationship(s) the artist was in, she feels like she is going nowhere fast and is always ending up in the same bad situations. Despite all of this, the drop of the beat at the end as the lyrics gain clarity show that the artist is finally able to express how she truly feels.

[Chorus]
Don't want to feel you
Don't want you on my mind
Don't want to feel you
Don't want you on my mind
Don't want to feel you
Don't want you on my mind
On my mind, on my mind
Mind, mind, mind, mind

Here Jorja is done with her boyfriend and very literally wants to get him off of her mind. She wants to completely cut him out of her life.
[Verse 1]
Why on earth would I leave
If you were everything I wanted you to be?
When I saw what you did, who you were with
Got me questionin' the things that I believe

Here Jorja displays the inner dialogue she has with herself as she tries to justify her reasons for breaking up with her boyfriend. It is also the first chance that the listener gets to understand the reasons behind the breakdown of their relationship. 

[Refrain]
So I ask myself, do I let you go?
Or do I keep you in the frame of my mind?
Now I'm growing wise to your sugar-coated lies
Nothing's sweet about my misery, yeah

Here Jorja is unsure what course of action to take. Leave her cheating boyfriend or stay with him. As the refrain progresses so does Jorja's self confidence and strength as she has finally grown wise to her boyfriends sugar-coated lies.

[Pre-Chorus]
I finally found what went wrong
You think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh
I finally found the wrong in you
You think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh
I finally found what went wrong
You think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh
I finally found the wrong in you
You think I would mind
Oh, you think I, oh

Here Jorja has finally found sound clarity in her former relationship and has seen her unfaithful ex for what he truly is. 

[Verse 2]
You again, why'd you call?
I don't need to hear you cryin' out my name
Unlike before when you and I laid eye to eye
Now it's time for you to taste the bitter end

Here the boyfriend is asking for forgiveness but the newly empowered Jorja is not going to run back into his arms like she has in the past. The power roles have flipped with Jorja being the one in control. There is a clear link to the refrain here as her boyfriends "sugar-coated lies" has now reached its "bitter end".
