I’ve had a snippet of a song stuck in my head for 4 days now. It’s not a song I own, it’s not even a song I’ve heard in its entirety. I think it’s from a TV show, but since I can’t find it online anywhere, I can’t be sure. It may even be one tiny jingo that was written for a TV show that I now have permanently on auto loop in my head. I’ve been searching for it so that I have the full song in my head, rather than four little words, “Coming Up for Air”, continually playing. It’s worse than having the Ma-na-ma-na song from the Muppets stuck in your head; it’s just a chorus, a section, playing over and over and over again. Another reason it’s truly annoying is that I know it’s the Universe sending me a message. “You’re on the right track. Keep going.”
Okay. I get it. You can stop now. Message received.
Only it hasn’t yet, which means that it is possible my subconscious or the Universe is waiting for some other epiphany or revelation to occur that I’ve not had yet. And that unfortunately means that the song stays stuck in my head until I do. I’ve tried to drown it out, shake it up, make it be a different song, one like that Muppets song that once it is in there, it stays for a while. But when I’m sitting quietly, those other songs are quiet and all I’ll hear is “Coming up for air.”
So, what does that mean? I don’t know yet, but I’m working on it, if only just to get it out of my head.
