Pretty Thoughts
About the song
The song “Pretty Thoughts” by Henri Purnell, INNA, and Nobody Cares is about healing after a toxic relationship. It shows how someone can feel free and happy again once they leave behind a person who made them feel small, confused, or hurt. The main theme is recovery and finding peace after emotional pain.
In the lyrics, the singer remembers feeling judged, suffocated, and full of “nightmares” when they were with that person. It was a dark time where their thoughts were clouded, and they struggled to feel okay. But everything started to change once the relationship ended. The bad feelings slowly faded, and “pretty thoughts” returned.
Now, the singer feels stronger, lighter, and more in control. They’re no longer trapped in sadness. Instead of pain, they have color, calm, and hope in their mind. The song sends a strong message: walking away from what hurts you can lead to freedom and happiness.
Lyrics
Now I got pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
I thought the bad times, no, they’d never end
But once you left, I’m having pretty thoughts again
You’re used to clouding all my judgment
Making me feel like I am nothing
You sent the devil to my brain
I, I escaped
It felt like you were intoxicated
When you made me feel so suffocated
And I couldn’t take it, couldn’t fake it no more
Now I got pretty thoughts
Once I could shake you off
Used to have nightmares
Inside of my head
They left soon as you left my bed
Now I got pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
I thought the bad times, no, they’d never end
But once you left, I’m having pretty thoughts again
Pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
Pretty thoughts again
I thought the nightmares inside of my head
Pretty thoughts again
I’m finally loving how I’m feeling
Every inch of me is healing
Brand new colours in my brain
Since you’ve been away
It felt like you were intoxicated
When you made me feel so, so suffocated
And I couldn’t take it, couldn’t fake it no more
Now I got pretty thoughts
Once I could shake you off
Used to have nightmares inside of my head
They left soon as you left my bed
Now I got pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
I thought the bad times, no, they’d never end
But once you left, I’m having pretty thoughts again
Pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
Pretty thoughts again
I thought the nightmares inside of my head
Pretty thoughts again
Pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
Pretty thoughts again
I thought the nightmares inside of my head
You’re used to clouding all my judgment
Making me feel like I am nothing
You sent the devil to my brain
Now I got pretty thoughts
Once I could shake you off
Used to have nightmares inside of my head
They left soon as you left my bed
Now I got pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
I thought the bad times, no, they’d never end
But once you left, I’m having pretty thoughts again
Pretty thoughts
No longer feeling lost
Pretty thoughts again
I thought the nightmares inside of my head
