Austin, TX mood punk/psych rock/cosmic band The Bright Light Social Hour have dropped the video for their latest single “Eating Out My Mind“.
The track features on their album ‘Emergency Leisure‘, included in our 100 Best Albums of 2023 list, out via Escondido Sound. Grab your copy here if you haven’t already.
Speaking about the song and the video, filmed across their North American Emergency Leisure Tour, the band shared:
“What’s the song about? idk, I just wrote the fucker. But here goes: To me, the verses are an attempt at overcoming the long-lasting effects of collaborating with toxic narcissists. The choruses are about having a baby and badly needing sleep. The video is about none of that matters when the music is poppin and the booties are shakin.”

The Bright Light Social Hour “Eating Out My Mind” Lyrics:
Dream of a day when I can write
Without you
Living rent-free in my self-doubt
Dream of a day when I can shout
Without you
Eating out my mind
I’ve been feeling a little tired
Cause you’ve been keeping me up at night
Tight
I know you got some place to be tonight
But I don’t
I see you
Hiding from life
Cause you can’t conquer life
Be a woman!
With no need to conquer life
Be life!
I’ve been feeling a little wild
Cause you’ve been keeping me up all night
Alright
I know you got some place to be tonight
But I don’t
Stay a while
Hey!
You know, you got it, you know? (x2)
I’ve been feeling a little tired
Cause you’ve been keeping me up at night
Tight
I know you got some place to be tonight
But I don’t
Stay a while
I’ve been feeling a little wild
Cause you’ve been keeping me up all night
You got that little perfect smile
And I melt when you are in my sight
Sleep tight
