State of Me
Days of Worth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm looking back and wondering
Why I ever stood my ground.
I've tried to explain in simple words,
But my language is so badly dubbed
It's hard to figure out a reason for
The state of me because of you.
And please don't flatter yourself into thinking that the choice was down to you.
Let me make it clear, like it was higher law,
You're easily forgotten but your not so easily forgiven for
The state of me because of you.
Abused and used,
So give me back my wasted youth.
You owe me words,
You owe me years,
But I know I'll get nothing back from you.
The lyrics to Days of Worth’s song State of Me explore the aftermath of a toxic relationship that has left the singer feeling lost and broken. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that they’ve had a moment of clarity and are finally able to look back and see how their loyalty to this person was misguided. The line “Why I ever stood my ground” hints at a sense of betrayal the singer is feeling towards themselves for not recognizing the toxicity in the relationship earlier.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship was abusive, and the singer is struggling to make sense of how they ended up in this position. They try to explain the pain they’re feeling, but it feels like their emotions are lost in translation. The line “My language is so badly dubbed” suggests a sense of detachment from their own feelings and experience.
The most powerful moment in the song is when the singer asserts their autonomy and makes it clear that their decision to leave was their own. They tell their former partner that they are “easily forgotten,” but that they won’t be easily forgiven for the damage they’ve done. The final lines of the song express a sense of loss and anger, with the singer declaring that they deserve better and that the person who hurt them must take responsibility for their actions.
Overall, the lyrics to State of Me are a powerful exploration of the emotional toll of toxic relationships. They speak to the difficulties of grappling with strong emotions like pain and anger, and the importance of setting boundaries and taking ownership of one’s own experience.

My slight return has come around,
I have returned after a long time to look back at things
Now I'm looking back and wondering
I am thinking and questioning everything that happened
Why I ever stood my ground.
I am doubting why I even held on to my beliefs and convictions
I've tried to explain in simple words,
I attempted to give a clear and concise explanation
But my language is so badly dubbed
My words were misunderstood or not delivered properly
It's hard to figure out a reason for
I am struggling to find the cause behind
The state of me because of you.
The way I am today is because of you and the things you did to me
My slow release was overdue,
I took too long to break free from the situation and let things go
And please don't flatter yourself into thinking that the choice was down to you.
You were not the reason why I made the decision to let go and move on
Let me make it clear, like it was higher law,
I want to emphasize and make it known that this decision was like a universal law, beyond my own control
You're easily forgotten but you're not so easily forgiven for
It's easy for me to forget about you, but forgiving you is a different story
The state of me because of you.
The person I am today is a direct result of the things you did to me
Abused and used,
I was treated badly and taken advantage of
So give me back my wasted youth.
I want to have back the time and energy that was wasted on you and our relationship
You owe me words,
You need to apologize and acknowledge what you did to me
You owe me years,
You need to make up for the time and energy you took from me
But I know I'll get nothing back from you.
I don't expect to receive anything from you in return
