​looking for a star (CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD) Lyrics

[Intro]
Duh-duh, duh
Duh-duh, duh
Duh, duh-duh-duh

[Verse 1]
Can't seem to explain a thing
Goin' on in my head (On in my head)

The memories seem to fade away
With the thoughts in my head (The thoughts in my head)
Runnin' from different enemies
And the thoughts in my head (The thoughts in my head)
Runnin' from different enemies
And the thoughts in my head (The thoughts, in my)

[Chorus]
And where did you go as I slept? (As I slept)
I can't seem to get out my head (Out my head)

[Verse 2]
I wept and I'll count the tears I shed (Tears I shed, tears I)
She sat there and watched as I bled

[Bridge]
As I bled, as I bled
As I bled
As I bled
As I bled

About

Genius Annotation

“looking for a star (CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD)” by XXXTENTACION and Diplo marks X’s first attempt at a radio Pop single. Famous producer, Diplo, has collaborated with famous artists like Justin Bieber in creating radio hits.

This song features themes common in X’s music, like the inability to cope when he loses a relationship with someone close to him. This song is most likely directed towards Geneva, Jahseh’s ex-girlfriend, who accused X of beating her. The song name is a direct reference to Geneva, whose twitter handle is @hisl0nelystar.

X’s heavily autotuned voice plays over a repetitive, yet intriguing beat. The beat clearly is more mainstream than on the rest of X’s music, as a lot of his tracks consist of heavy bass and loud vocals.

The track was later included on X’s debut commercial compilation mixtape Revenge, titled simply as “Looking for a Star.”
