About ADHD (My Mind's Long Gone)

This track is a candid, lighthearted exploration of living with ADHD. I've infused humor into the lyrics to portray the daily chaos and amusing mishaps that come with my neurodivergent brain. From misplacing keys in the fridge to forgetting a freshly made cup of coffee, these anecdotes are both personal and relatable to many who share similar experiences.

Despite the challenges, the song maintains an upbeat tempo and playful tone. The chorus embraces the whirlwind that is my mind, acknowledging the scattered thoughts and endless distractions. By sharing these stories, I aim to shed light on the reality of ADHD—not as a deficit, but as a different way of experiencing the world. It's about finding joy in the quirks and learning to navigate life with a sense of humor and self-compassion.

Lyrics

(Verse)
I got twenty tabs open, can't focus on one,
It's a daily dance with each rabbit run.
I've been searching for my keys, found them in the fridge,
Forgot my grocery list’s lost on some mental ridge.
Lately I've been thinking, is this just my fate?
Feeling like a joke on a temporary break.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Verse)
Meeting's half over, haven't heard a word,
Drifting off to space, my sanity blurred.
Jumbled thoughts, misplaced time,
Turning simple tasks into uphill climbs.
Lately I've been wondering, can I rein it in, it in?
Or just keep stumbling from whim to whim.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.
 
(Bridge)
I've turned reminders to a full-time friend,
Post-it notes, alarms, they never end.
Made my self a coffee two hours ago
Where did I put it? I don't even know.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Verse)
I've turned my calendar into art,
Every color-coded task a piece, a part.
Lost my wallet twice this week,
Tied a string to my phone, and it's still hide-and-seek.
Lately I've been laughing, 'cause what else can I do?
In this whirlwind mind, there's always something true.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Outro)
So here’s to the chaos, let it be my guide,
With every twist and turn, I’ll embrace the ride.
