From the song

Fi Bali في بالي by SNX

A song about everything that goes unsaid. In my mind, he repeats: thoughts and dreams that went by, beautiful things in life, deep things I have wanted to happen. What is hidden in my mind? Thoughts and whirlpools, some that concern you and some that do not. I have not told you. All the things I imagined about you, all the things I thought about you. What would I tell you? I won't tell you, but it is in my mind.

Deeper meaning

The song makes a poem of restraint. The listener learns that there is a whole inner life about the beloved that she will never hear, and the singer chooses not to say it. The title phrase is also the idiom for on my mind, which holds the double sense of a thought and a worry.
