Fragments remain where they left me in the cold heartless world, pieces of my memories enslaved within the realms of darkness in my soul. Can’t figure out where it all went wrong again, was my love too much to take? I’m falling down again…

Don’t lead me on…
If you don’t love me then don’t pretend you do…
I’ve been through this before…

Shattered glass on the floor, stepped on them again, I’m down and hurting bad, I cry alone in this hole, the pain is too much to take again. Forced me into seclusion, the solace in this empty lightless room, restores my body and soul. Revolting world, I’ll set the darkness free. I’ll walk alone on this road; I find the peace within myself in this place I found within my mind. I’m lost again in this day…

Losing what’s left of my mind, this state they all left me in, closed me in the darkness and despair rules my life, I put faith in the shadows, descend into darkness, push everyone away and let go of this world. Let go of this world, push everyone away!

I am alone…
I am all alone….

    Song Meaning

    This song was written after a bad experience with Eharmony, I always think of how funny it is State of Mind parallels perfectly with a song from "The Wandering Shadow" called Set the Fire which uses "Plenty of Fish" so anyways back to State of Mind.

    This song takes a different direction and treats the issues with relationships to a questionable method...rather than an angry method...it reflects to these happenings as cruel acts of human betrayal on dating sites and asks the dating population "why reach out to someone who's clearly looking for a relationship, lead them along and break it to them, they are not interested in it, despite how eager they were to pursue me in the first place." So I give myself flack on things like; maybe it's because I come on to strong and i repel people away, at least from my experience I've been told i do this. Often these experiences will leave me in a state of constant depression because I feel the sting of these words and I often just end up shutting myself out from the world and entering a deep state of seclusion to separate myself from a world that I don't want to face.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
