about

‘I’m in love with my therapist’ is the second instalment off Sophie’s EP My Room Made Public, digging deep and asking how much of our lives should we share with the world?

The track is a 90s inspired indie-pop belter, with an addictive hook and unapologetic lyrics that pierce through the heartstrings to say the unspoken. A song that unpicks how the need to be loved can quickly turn into an obsession that is projected onto a stranger.

Sophie explains: “It was lockdown number two, and I was annoyed at myself for killing yet another plant and the story of the song just fell from my frustration. When you go to therapy, you are trying to understand your emotions and behaviours. Sometimes that digging causes
confusion, you start to project feelings, like your longing to fall in love, onto a person who ‘gives you the time of day’. It is quite a morbid thought that the only person who you feel who gets you and you can share anything with, is your therapist. They know everything about you, and you know nothing about them but the consistency of being emotionally intimate with them causes feelings to grow to the point of breaking point.

What started off as an extreme, slightly comical idea quickly started to make a lot of sense, especially when I found falling for your therapist is a common thing. I didn’t write the song to shock or to be angsty. I am just calling it out for what it is to open a dialogue. At the end of the day, we all want to be heard, appreciated, and loved and if someone makes you feel like you are, it is bound to cross boundaries.”

lyrics

Verse 1

I’m in my head 24/7
Can’t get around it
I’m addicted to tension
Even if it’s good I’m fighting
No wonder I’m uninviting
Just cos its good timing
Doesn’t mean I’ll be trying

Chorus

Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
I’m seeing red, my plants are dead
I’m in love with my therapist
It pulls me down, so I can’t get out
I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here

Verse 2

Made a persona to settle my conscious
Now I’m lost in my own performance
Never been one for the night life
Too closed off for the spotlight
Walk on part in a frandise
Couldn’t just fall for the nice guy

Chorus

Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
I’m seeing red, my plants are dead
I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist)
It pulls me down, so I can’t get out
I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here

Middle Eight

There has never been a day, where I couldn’t separate
What was there in my mind to what happen at the time
I’d like to get away, make room in my headspace
Finally get out, get out

Chorus

Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
I’m seeing red, my plants are dead
I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist)
It pulls me down, so I can’t get out
I’ve forgotten what I’ve missed
I gotta get out of here (ooo)
I gotta get out of here (ooo)

Outro

I gotta get out
Gotta get out
I’m in love with my therapist (in love with my therapist)

I gotta get out
Gotta get out
I’m in love with my therapist

I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
