State Of Trust Lyrics

Mikael Stanne: “Basically about not trusting your own instincts and memory. Written mostly by Martin Brändström [keyboards/programming]. At first it sounded like a simple pop song dressed in heavy guitars, and it was challenging to turn it into something else – it’s got some of the hardest parts and some of the mellowest parts on the album.” Lyrics: Like a crack in the clean slate I see emotion take over the rational We are the favoured sons of reason With tools at our disposal Squandered day by day Strip the thoughts Heal the system Take the original back It is inside me It is inside me now If this is all that I remember Can I ever trust myself? Like a flash or a fleeting glance I see movement in the corner of my eye Now the mind goes into overdrive To process and deceive How will I ever know? Give up the experience To halt the fictional mind It is inside me It is inside me now Block out all that makes it painful Set the pieces back in place If this is all that I remember Can I ever trust myself? I track movement Like light behind my eyes Made to match up With what I tell myself each day My experience Is what I do not know And one I cannot trust It infects the marrow A virus of ideas It is inside me It is inside me now What my mind is telling me Must come undone If this is all that I remember Can I ever trust myself?
