Another State Of Mind
Green Day · Other Songs - Green Day
Well I'm in another state, another state of mind,
I wish that I could be there right next to her
This road leads to this, this one leads to that,
Her voice sends shivers down my spine.
These scars in my flesh,
I'm bruised and I'm bloodied
Only she know the pain that I've been thru.
Talk to her a thousand miles away,
There's tears in her eyes.
If I make it back I'm gonna show her,
she's the one for me -
Hitch a ride on the wild side,
It's real hell on wheels.
There's gonna be a fight tonite, I know.
Another city we can't find,
Another city left buried behind.
As I picture her, the cities burn away.
These scars in my flesh,
I'm bruised and I'm bloodied
Only she know the pain that I've been thru.
Talk to her a thousand miles away,
There's tears in her eyes.
If I make it back I'm gonna show her,
she's the one for me -
These scars in my flesh,
I'm bruised and I'm bloodied
Only she know the pain that I've been thru.
Talk to her a thousand miles away,
There's tears in her eyes.
If I make it back I'm gonna show her,
she's the one for me -
Another State Of Mind

Thematically, it explores the concept of mental clarity and the desire to escape one's current circumstances, fitting the introspective tone often found in Green Day's later work. The recording showcases the band's ability to blend their raw energy with more polished production techniques, appealing to both long-time fans and new listeners. As part of their broader catalog, this track stands as a testament to the band's enduring relevance and their consistent exploration of personal and societal issues through their music.
