| Pretty obvious for me... after being with someone, you can hang on to his/her memory for so long... if they keep on calling, if they keep appearin, you can never get over it. The song is sort of a mantra to stop this situation and finally let go of someone from the past. | |

| personally, i think the song is about not wanting to admit you can never really push someone out of your life, even if you think you have. don't know if that makes much sense to anyone else but it makes sense to me. oh and tegan and sara are from calgary, i think. they probably have one of the most unique sounds anyway. | |

| Tegan and Sara are so unique...I mean even though they are twins! Their music is like nothing else I have ever heard. And yay...they are from Canada! The music video for this song is really neat too...although I still don't know what it means. It's something about hearts and maybe who you used to be. I don't know. But...this song is great and the guitar is really cool. And by the way...they are spending time apart because they don't want to fight. Tegan lives in Vancouver and Sara in Montreal! | |

| wow i never realized how few words there are in this song. they just keep repeating things for emphasis, which i think is cool. i think i agree with fascination street on the meaning, like how they keep repeating "out of my mind" as if to force someone out, but the truth is they can never fully get someone who was important to them out of their life or mind. i think thats a common thing to have to deal with. the video didnt really help me understand it better, but it was still cool to watch. keep it up tegan and sara, keep writing these awesome songs. | |

| They are twins and i am just assuming cause i remember watching them perform on MTV and they said they spent time appart and i just think taht this has to do witht he myth that twins feel each other even if they are 20000000 miles away from each other. | |

| i agree with fascination_street. it's kinda like you try to walk around alone but this"ghost" from your past keeps following you around, and you say PLEASE DONT INSIST (get it? like you want it to go away). and they keep repeating "you're out of my mind" but they know it's not true because they are singing about it. repetition = trying to convince myself that "you're out my mine...OUT OF MY MIND" (but you're not...i wish you were) lol. | |

| sweet song, wonderful video.. I found Jesuisunerockstar's (come again?) explanation the best, though I guess TandS know it better.. I especially love the video where I'm guessing there's evil and good or any 2 opposite terms. the evil one ript out the hearts of the good ones and takes them to her place. but then she's sitting all alone with all the hearts around her, she's not satisfied. And then one of the good ones pounds on the evil's door and eventually is let in. there she puts on headphones and starts saying "out of my mind.. out of my mind). then she2s on a surgery table and some hands with veeeeeery long arms are operating on her. after a while she wakes up on the surgery table and sees her heart has been put back in its place. and she runs to the other "good ones" and all their hearts are returned. Then we see the 2 evils look at them and we see that they have the surgeon glows which were on the giant hands before and their hearts are ripped out, meaning they ripped their own hearts out to give each good one a heart back. although I saw only 2 evils and 3 good. so where does the extra heart come from? ok, that was a very materialistic question for such a matter. I guess it's about friends who hurt us but that doesn't make them happy either. anyway it's 5 am and this is the best I can do rite now. I just like the sweet gothic feel, like in the video.. | |

| Basically; From the video, they cut eachothers shirts open and steal their hearts. What I think this means compared to the song is: "I'm trying to get you out of my head, and out of my heart." It seems as if the sisters are aiding eachother in taking the pain away by stealing their hearts so that they don't remember whoever the boy was. The line; "I was walking with a ghost" Sounds as if he was there with her literally, but not actually FOR her. So to sum up the whole song: Heartbreak/Abandon (walking with the ghost) Trying to get rid of the memory (hearts and out of my mind) | |

| no matter which way you go no matter which way you stay, you're out of my mind out of my mind. i was walking with a ghost, and i said please, please dont insist Makes me think of a situation where you like someone, and the energy is there, and they feel it, but are not into you.. So the please don't insist is kind of a plea to keep the energy away, turn the thoughts to something else maybe.. But that's just my take on it | |
