From the album Oh yeah?
Steve Lacy narrates obsession from the wrong side of the glass. He knows it's one-sided, knows the other person keeps running, yet the outro escalates to six straight claims of ownership. The song title is a lie. There is nothing else in his mind except this person who wants out.
Nothin' / Can keep you off my mind / Mine
The slant rhyme from 'mind' to 'mine' does the work. What starts as mental occupation becomes possession. He's not just thinking about this person, he's claiming them.
I'm still excited / Even though it's one-sided
That 'still' is doing heavy lifting. He has been in this loop long enough to acknowledge the truth and ignore it in the same breath. Excitement becomes its own justification.
Really don't like silence / When we don't speak for a while, I get feral / Like I'm out of water
Feral means undomesticated, wild, desperate. Out of water means dying. He frames the absence of contact as a survival crisis, which tells you everything about who needs whom here.
You keep on runnin' / You'll keep on runnin'
The shift from present to future tense locks this pattern in place. He is not predicting change, he is accepting the permanence of the chase. She will always be leaving.
You're mine / You're mine
Six times. No other lyrics, just the claim repeated until it sounds like he is trying to will it into reality. This might be the most honest moment in the song, the place where the performance drops and you hear the desperation underneath.
The most unsettling thing about this song is how self-aware it is. Steve Lacy knows it's one-sided, knows she is running, and chooses obsession anyway. The outro is not a twist, it is the logical endpoint of someone who has mistaken fixation for devotion.
