State Of Things Lyrics
Blindfold me
Tie me up or tie me down
Yeah take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground
Listen to me
But don’t die laughing
And all things must end yeah
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I’m stitched up by my friends again
They just can’t defend the state of things
Between
You and me
Used to be
On
Fire
So slip off your shackles
Cause you don’t need them
Where we’re going
See what happens just happens
There ain’t no straight lines in the state of things
So try to cling on for
Dear life
And don’t forget the world keeps on turning round
Despite
You and me
Used to be
On
Fire
Fire
Now look now
See where we’re going
I don’t know
Where I’m going
I don’t know
Tie me up or tie me down
Yeah take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground
Listen to me
But don’t die laughing
And all things must end yeah
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I’m stitched up by my friends again
They just can’t defend the state of things
Between
Used to be
On
Fire
Cause you don’t need them
Where we’re going
See what happens just happens
There ain’t no straight lines in the state of things
So try to cling on for
Dear life
And don’t forget the world keeps on turning round
Despite
Used to be
On
Fire
Fire
See where we’re going
I don’t know
Where I’m going
I don’t know

so they broke up and now he doesnt want her to laugh at him or think poorly of him... he still longs to be with her and he hurts inside. his friends must help him get better they used to be in love
they're free from one another now things arent as simple as they seem but things go on...
'aint no straight lines in the state of things' I think this line can be applied to life in general.
There are no straight lines in life, you cant predict whats going to happen.
'the world keeps turning round despite you and i' I think this line sums up the song: it seems sometimes that things going on in your life are the only important thing to you but you need to remember that the world continues regardless of whats happening in your life and that your such a small part of the world so it puts our petty problems into prospective.
