Then State of Mine's fast and melodic skatepunk might be a perfect fit for you. Mostly influenced by the nineties Swedish skatepunk sound, and more established bands as Belvedere, Lagwagon and Man(d)y M(o)ore, State of Mine effectuated more than 75 shows on local and not-so-local stages in Belgium and abroad since November 2007. These shows included support slots for bands as SNFU (Can), Smoke or Fire (USA), Rentokill (Au), Mute (Can), High Five Drive (Can), Pendleton (UK), The Living Daylights (UK), Jet Market (It) and other massively talented, yet less known bands.
A first release followed after nearly a year of constant rehearsing and performing. The DIY "Geargrinder" EP sold out within the first months after it's release in October 2008. After a major change in the SoM line up (one guitar less, a replacement behind the drums and a new lead vocal), plans were made for a split CD with The Octopussy's, to be released under Kickass Records (the band’s own D.I.Y. record label) by the end of April 2009.
After a rushy 2009 filled with playing shows and promoting the split CD in Belgium, the band scheduled to start writing their debut full album “Accelerate!” around the end of the year. It quickly got clear that the only feasible option was to do the whole thing in a D.I.Y. fashion.
Slowly, but steadily, the recording sessions for “Accelerate!” started off in April 2010.
And now, at the start of 2011, the band is extremely proud to be able to present the finished album.
Next to that the need for a second guitar player became quite acute going through the recording process.
Victor Navarro (ex-Struggling for reason) happily filled the vacant spot.
As a fivepiece, State of Mine guarantees an energetic live show, spiced up with old and new skatepunk covers.

Waste My Time
State Of Mine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever on my mind and yet still so hard to find,
The reasons that I hold you so deep and close inside.
A link to premonitions and shadows on my stage,
The curtains up the show must start you take breath away.
Who are you to tell me that were not living in our dreams?
We're cast aside were torn apart, we are left for in between.
All I wanted to see was just a waste of my time.
No one knows their value here it's gone for far to long, wasted away to nothing but insist that your not wrong.
You left me stranded on a stage I never wanted on, so leave me with memories and haunt me no more.
Who are you to tell me that we're not living in our dreams.
We're cast aside we're torn apart we are left for in between.
Everyone is leaving there is nothing left to find.
All I wanted to see was just a waste of my time.
And I never wanted to believe you could be so dishonest.
And I never wanted to think that you could be the death of all of us.
You were the death of us.
Who are you to tell me that we're not living in our dreams.
We're cast aside were torn apart, we are left for in between everyone is leaving there is nothing left to find.
All I wanted to see was just a waste of my time.
And I never wanted to believe you could be so dishonest and I never wanted to think that you could be just a waste of my time (the death of all of us)
And I never wanted to believe you could be so dishonest.
And I never wanted to think that you could be just a waste of my time (the death of all of us).
The lyrics of "Waste My Time" by State of Mine talk about the struggle to let go of someone who has a significant impact on the singer's life. The person is so deeply embedded in their thoughts and feelings that it is hard to forget them. The singer believes that this person has a premonition of their relationship, and their presence is constantly haunting them like a shadow. Despite the pain and sadness caused, the singer still wants to cling onto the hope of revisiting their dreams, which were never fulfilled. However, reality sets in, and they realize that everything they hoped for was just a waste of time. The pain is too much to bear, but in the end, they want to move on and let go.
The lyrics convey the idea that sometimes, things do not work, and we have to accept that reality. It is hard to come to terms with this, but the singer's struggle is relatable. The lyrics also allude to the notion that we often hold onto impossible situations or relationships, unwilling to let go, despite the pain it causes us. In the end, we must accept that these things are just a waste of time and move on with our lives.
