I think I'm special here. Most of the time if I've got a song on repeat and I'm tired of it I can think of a different song and play that instead. I just tell my brain, "Dummy, play The River by King Gizzard" and I'll hear it. It's nice.
The problem is there always needs to be a song going - there is no silence track. As soon as my brain notices that I'm not playing a song, it'll play one for me, usually the last one I heard.
I have so many questions.
Have you tried meditating to get a few minutes of quiet?
Do you "hear" your thoughts / have an international monologue?
How detailed are these songs? Do they have just vocals? Harmony? Drums? Bass?
How many times do you have to hear a song before it becomes 'playable"
Can you play an instrument?
Do you have perfect pitch or is everything relative?
Not op but have a similar "problem". Straight up an earworm machine over here. But I can control it for the most part
Meditation is not my thing but if the song is getting annoying or too repetitive on a certain part I will intentionally try to distract myself. I certainly do have a monologue that reads, speaks, etc "out loud".
It only takes until i at least know a portion of the song enough to be able to sing along that I can play the majority of it ( as long as I don't get stuck in what I call a lyrical loop where one verse will tie back to an earlier one). It always sounds as is, with the band as well. Even if I don't know the lyrics I can hear the mumblings of that part.
