In the song “Kolomental,” by Victony, the artist sings about not putting some things in his mind to be in the right state of mind. He sings about ignoring things or letting some things slide (either personally or generally), rather than trying to decipher the reason why those things are happening. According to him trying to figure some things out may drive him crazy “Kolomental,” which he doesn’t want to happen.
