Actual Condition Lyrics

Well the actual condition of my mind
Is elusive as the answers that I find
I keep going through transition
From doubt to indecision
It's the actual condition of my mind

Well the actual condition of my soul
Sometimes feels like being sucked into a hole
And I've come to this position
Regardless of religion
It's the actual condition of my soul

The actual condition of my heart
Feels like two hands that are ripping it apart
I keep losing definition
But still I keep on wishin'
It's the actual condition of my heart

Cover art for Actual Condition lyrics by Hüsker Dü

I think it's probably just Grant waxing lyrical on feeling crummy. Maybe it was troubles in the band, maybe it was drugs, maybe sadness. He was a new dad and just had a false positive for HIV (a death sentence at the time). "Actual Condition" sounds like buyer/seller talk, maybe he was thinking about signing to a major label, like selling your soul to the devil. If you're selling your soul, the buyer's going to want to know the "actual condition" of the merchandise! Or this could be about taking an honest appraisal of your life, maybe to make a change. Only 2 songs after this on the record is Bob's "Turn It Around". It really seems like they were at least trying to work things out, even at the end. "Warehouse" a really underrated record - it wasn't the cross-genre experimental post-hardcore masterpiece Zen was, or as concise as "New Day" or "Flip", or as full-sounding as "Candy Apple" or even "Metal Circus" but the song writing is still there.
