sarangui ttatteuthamdo neukkyeobwatji
I've felt the warmth of love before
dutongi simhae nan
This headache's hitting me hard
mwot gateun ilsange
In this messed-up daily life
dodaeche wae ireoneunji moreugesseo
I don't know why I'm like this
gyeou heulryeobonaen sigana, nareul chatji marajwo
Time I've barely let pass, don't come looking for me
yego eopneun i time bomb nuga meolri deonjyeojwo
This warning-less time bomb someone throw it far away
goerouni
Cause it hurts
peongpeong sido ttaedo eopsi teojyeo
Pop pop it keeps exploding at any given moment
soksagideon japsaenggakdeurui soriga keojyeo
The whispers of stray thoughts grow louder
balgeoreumeun uimunui majinoseone geolchyeo
My steps stand on the mysterious Maginot line
momirado himdeulmyeon jom deolhalkka bwa
Thinking maybe if my body suffered it'd ease a little
gwaenhi deo gyeokage buditchyeotna bwa
Maybe I crashed into it too hard for no reason
meoritsogui jungsimeun an japigo
I can't keep my mind centered
witaeropge heundeulryeo when will this end?
I sway precariously, when will this end?
sarangui ttatteuthamdo neukkyeobwatji
I've felt the warmth of love before
dutongi simhae nan
This headache's hitting me hard
mwot gateun ilsange ah-yeah, ah-yeah
In this messed-up daily life, ah-yeah, ah-yeah
dodaeche wae ireoneunji moreugesseo
I don't know why I'm like this
mwot gateun ilsange ah-yeah, ah-yeah
In this messed-up daily life, ah-yeah, ah-yeah
mwot gateun ilsange ah-yeah, ah-yeah
In this messed-up daily life, ah-yeah, ah-yeah
mwot gateun ilsange ah-yeah, ah-yeah
In this messed-up daily life, ah-yeah, ah-yeah
dodaeche wae ireoneunji moreugesseo
I don't know why I'm like this

SONG MEANING

In My Head captures the moment when your thoughts turn into a noisy roommate you cannot quiet.

Through vivid images of lying in bed, explosive time-bomb emotions, and pounding headaches, Stray Kids paint a picture of someone trapped in a never-ending loop of worry and confusion. The lyrics swing between English and Korean to emphasize how universal this mental tug-of-war feels: one minute you recall the warmth of love, the next you are questioning why nothing seems to change. This song is not just about feeling sad – it is about the frustration of knowing you have tried everything yet still waking up to the same “뭣 같은 일상” (“this messed-up daily life”). By the end, the repeated chorus turns into a rallying cry, inviting listeners to recognize their own mental clutter and shout back, “I’m messed up in my head, but I am still here.”

Packed with raw honesty, genre-blending beats, and the group’s signature high-energy delivery, In My Head offers comfort to anyone who has ever felt stuck inside their own thoughts. Instead of providing a tidy solution, Stray Kids remind us that admitting the chaos is the first brave step toward change.
