About This Track

'Loading' by James Blake is an Electronic track on the 2023 album 'Playing Robots Into Heaven'. Its lyrics circle on self-worth as something contingent on another person, returning to the idea that the mind is only “good if you’re mine”, with the narrator sounding increasingly uncertain as they try to make themselves understood. The repetition gives the impression of a thought process looping and searching for reassurance, while the address to a listener stays urgent and slightly unfinished.

"Loading" is a single by James Blake, from the album Playing Robots Into Heaven, released 7th September 2023. The track is 4:45 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about James Blake.

Lyrics

Loading

Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (good if you're mine)

I hope I'm making sense to you

Where are my wings?
They're loading, they're loading, they're loading
Where are my wings?
They're loading
Still loading, still loading
Pull back my fringe
Exposing, exposing, exposing
There's something you should know

Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go, I'm only-
Wherever I go (wherever I go)

Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (good if you're mine)

I hope I'm making sense to you

Where are my wings?
They're loading, they're loading, they're loading
Where are my wings?
Loading, loading
Still loading, still loading
Pull back my fringe
Exposing, exposing, exposing
Something you should know (wherever I go)

Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go, I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (good if you're mine)
