Interpretations:I Can't Hide From My Mind

From This Might Be A Wiki

Seems to be a song about doubt and duality, a familiar Flansy theme, and in that it could be a twin to Apollo 18's My Evil Twin. Musically it is very much in the vein of Another First Kiss (mink car version), with Flans using his pretty pretty voice. Flans bows out of the Spine on a high, even if the song is about a low. (Mr Tuck)

Must be a song just for me then! --My Evil Twin's Twin

Could be about pedophilia -- J-Dogg

The first verse is quite humorous (especially as performed in 2003's Gigantic), with Flansburgh staging a "police standoff" with his own brain. But in the second verse and bridge, the song goes somewhere rather dark; by revisiting and expanding upon this song, he has turned what could've been a cheeky exercise in smarty-pants wordplay into something very melancholy and vulnerable. I think this is his best song on the album and possibly one of his best songs ever - an elegant, classy album-closer on a par with his own "Road Movie To Berlin" (Flood), as well as Linnell's "Kiss Me, Son of God" (Lincoln) and "End of the Tour" (John Henry). -- GR

This song is actually about me and the time I went crazy. It was like my brain was finally coming to bear on the one part that didn't really make sense. I'm All Logical now, All Over. --HearingAid
