State I'm In
Jared Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, I'm on the streets like a , so weak
She took my heart, man This Is either dope or mean.
She got it all, I'm in trouble because I won't believe
The fact that I ain't sober when she doses me
Its you and I
We step into the light
We never grew so high
Our cloud is number 9 till we float off
No hate now, all we got is love
And I ain't tripping, I'm so high from a pot of love

My visions blurry
And I can't see
So my heart beats
And I can't breathe
Don't know what controls me
I said you make me wanna OD slowly
Yeah, because I'm on one
And every minute that I'm in it, it's so good
And theres no other type of drug addictive that I'd do
But I just wanna try you

Because the waves come crashing over my heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in
[?] Still tripping over your heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in

Uh yeah, and you lift my whole mind
But I had to kick the habit and get rid of my old life
Must of caught a second wind though
I'm like an addict and I'm itching for a fix, yo
I wish I had it
But I had it all, because you were adderall
You kept me up, you ain't never made me mad at all
And when we fight again, you're vicodin
Because you kill my pain everytime I feel like losing sight again

My visions blurry
And I can't see
So my heart beats
And I can't breathe
Don't know what controls me
I said you make me wanna OD slowly
Yeah, because I'm on one
And every minute that I'm in it, it's so good
And theres no other type of drug or addictive that I'd do
But I just wanna try you

Because the waves come crashing over my heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in
[?] Still tripping over your heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in

Because the waves come crashing over my heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in
[?] Still tripping over your heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in

Because the waves come crashing over my heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in




[?] Still tripping over your heart again
Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jared Evan's song "State I'm In" tells the story of being in love with someone who has become the center of his world and the source of his addiction. He compares this person to drugs, with lines like "The fact that I ain't sober when she doses me" and "And theres no other type of drug addictive that I'd do, But I just wanna try you." The singer is willing to do anything for this person, and even when they fight, he compares her to painkillers that "kill my pain every time I feel like losing sight again."


The chorus "Because the waves come crashing over my heart again, Don't know what state I'm in, Don't know what state I'm in" highlights his uncertainty and vulnerability in this relationship. He can't see clearly and feels like he's lost control, caught up in the rush of being with her. Despite this, he remains devoted and entranced, claiming "I'm so high from a pot of love" and "And theres no hate now, all we got is love." The song ultimately paints a picture of an addict in love, consumed by his passion for someone who both lifts him up and knocks him down.
