State of Mind
N.E.U.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took a pencil and I wrote the following on it
Now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be
Dig it up, throw it at me
Dig it up, throw it at me
Where can I run to, where can I hide
Got a knife to disengage the voids that I can't bear
To cut out words I've got written on my chair
Like do you think I'm sexy
Do you think I really care
Can I burn the mazes I grow
Can I, I don't think so
Can I burn the mazes I grow
Can I, I don't think so
Where can I run to, where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
The lyrics of "State of Mind" by N.E.U.K talk about a person who has undergone a self-transformation and has moved away from their former self. The first two lines depict the individual's previous state of mind, characterized by a chair in their head on which they used to sit and write. However, the lyrics suggest that they have now discarded their old self, as represented by the key that has replaced their voice. This is further emphasized when the person asks, "Where can I run to, where can I hide / Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind."
The person's new self is also characterized by a sense of detachment from their former self. They express a desire to disengage themselves from the voids that they cannot bear and cut out the words they have written on their chair. This includes statements like "Do you think I'm sexy / Do you think I really care." The person is also questioning whether they can burn the mazes they grow but ultimately believes that they cannot. The repetition of "Virgin state of mind" at the end of the song further emphasizes this idea of a complete transformation, as the person has returned to a state of purity and innocence.
Overall, "State of Mind" is a powerful song that explores the concept of self-transformation and detachment from a former self. It highlights the difficulties of undergoing such a change and the sense of uncertainty that it can bring.
