The Chemical Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
The Chemical Brothers' song "The State We're In" is a song about a person who has been working hard for a long time and just wants to be with someone they care about. The person has been searching for a way to express their feelings to this other person, but hasn't found the right words until now. The lyrics speak of the struggle to communicate and the frustration of feeling misunderstood, but also the desire to connect and be true to oneself.
The repetition of "never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time" emphasizes the theme of unspoken communication and unmet expectations. The singer has been holding back their frustration and resentment, but the repeated line suggests that the other person may have been taking advantage of their kindness or ignoring their needs.
The repeated refrain of "there's no escaping now, let me show you how, what it feels to be true" is a plea for understanding and recognition. The singer wants to break down the barriers between them and the other person and show them what it means to be authentic and vulnerable.
Overall, "The State We're In" is a song about communication, connection, and the struggle to find meaning and truth in our relationships with others.
