State of Mind
Holly Valance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't need to hang around
You don't need to talk right now
Can I feel it the same mistake
Can I feel him its gonna break

Somedays, sometimes, this don't feel right
Iiiiiiiiiiioooooooooo
To hard to touch, its getting to much
You know its just a state of mind
Driving you wild get caught up in style
You know its just a state of mind

All I need is to breathe
All I need is to believe
Can I have it now I know
Gotta have it take it slow

Somedays, sometimes, it just goes right
Iiiiiiiiiiioooooooooo

To hard to touch, its getting to much
You know its just a state of mind
Driving you wild get caught up in style
You know its just a state of mind

State of mind
State of mind

To hard to touch, its getting to much
You know its just a state of mind
Driving you wild get caught up in style
You know its just a state of mind

To hard to touch, its getting to much
You know its just a state of mind
Driving you wild get caught up in style
You know its just a state of mind





You know its just a state if mind

Overall Meaning

Holly Valance's "State of Mind" is a song about the emotional state one can face when dealing with a difficult situation. The lyrics seem to be about a relationship where the singer doesn't want their partner around, at least not at the moment. The first two lines of the song suggest that the singer needs some space and doesn't want to talk about what's going on. The next few lines highlight the internal struggle of trying to decide whether to let go of the past and move on or hold on to it, even though it'll only cause pain. The singer is scared of repeating the same mistake, but at the same time, they can feel the temptation to keep the relationship alive.


The chorus repeats, "It's just a state of mind," emphasizing the idea that the pain and confusion faced in the relationship are all temporary and will eventually pass. The song encourages the listener to believe in themselves and trust that they will make the right decision. The final lines of the song express that the singer wants to take things slow before making any decisions, but they know that they need to have faith in the future.


Overall, "State of Mind" is a relatable song that captures the conflicting emotions that can arise when dealing with a challenging situation. It encourages listeners to keep a positive outlook and trust in the universe to guide them to the right path.
