State Of Mind
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Planes take me higher
We see our faces on photographs
Beginning and desire
Eden turns to desertland
It doesn't matter anymore
My heart was sealed with emptiness
Now it's an open sore
It's just a state of mind
A state of mind
A state of mind
Was walking through that shinning-Land
The way was made of neonlights
Something made electricity
Escape from a million lonely nights
Opened a grave where ideals have slept
I found them rotten I found them dead
I couldn't go back to where I came
The blood dripped down my fading sane
It's just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
As we sit in different places now
We gonna chase the time away
I think I need your company
A strange to society
Too many morals and too many rules
I cannot care, got nothing to loose
I had just my dream to pay
And after all I'd nothing to say
The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song State of Mind explores themes of identity, yearning, and disillusionment. The opening lines, "Wheels take me forward, planes take me higher," suggest a desire to move beyond one's current circumstances and find something better, wherever it may be. The next lines, "We see our faces on photographs, beginning and desire," hint at a desire to recapture lost youth and potential.
As the song continues, the optimistic tone of the opening lines gives way to a sense of disappointment and frustration. "Eden turns to desertland, it doesn't matter anymore," paints a picture of shattered expectations, a place where nothing seems to matter anymore. The singer's heart, once sealed with emptiness, is now an open sore - raw and vulnerable.
Later verses describe a journey through a hyper-real, neon-lit cityscape, a place where ideals and dreams have become rotten and dead. The singer cannot go back to where they came from and feels their sanity slipping away. Despite this, the refrain of the song remains steadfast: "It's just a state of mind," repeating the idea that perhaps one's circumstances are merely a state of mind, and that there might be a way out of the disillusionment and emptiness.
Overall, State of Mind is a haunting meditation on the fleeting nature of desire and identity, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often seems empty and devoid of purpose.
