State of Mind
Navigating Chaos: Unveiling the Depths of the American Machine in 'State of Mind'
Lyrics
I can't believe the time, it's getting to be late
I am surprised by how quickly time is passing, and it's becoming late.
So crowded in the state of my mind
My mind feels crowded and overwhelmed.
I can't seem to think straight
I'm having difficulty thinking clearly.
It's hard to tell my fate anymore
It's challenging to determine my destiny or future.
So would you be so kind to tell me which direction is the door?
Asking for guidance on finding an exit or solution.
How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend?
Expressing a struggle against an unidentified adversary or challenge.
Welcome to the american machine
Welcoming someone to the complexities and challenges of the American system.
Blame, blame it on the game

The move of the technocrat, watch him tip his hat, he's got no name
Referring to a technocrat, someone skilled in technology, without a personal identity.
Corporation enterprise always tries to justify the end
Highlighting the tendency of corporations to justify actions for short-term gains.
Only for the short term, profits will be just around the bend

How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend?
Reiterating the struggle against an unnamed adversary or challenge.
Welcome to the american machine
Reiterating the challenges within the American system.
Oh I see the river red
Observing a metaphorical "river red," possibly symbolizing conflict or bloodshed.
The government, the pentagon, choose to feed the green beret instead
Criticizing government and military priorities, favoring military over social welfare.
The streets are filled with homeless
Noting the prevalence of homelessness in society.
The ignorant have nowhere to go
Commenting on the plight of the ignorant or uninformed with no apparent solution.
So tell me where's the medicare, amidst all the nuclear show?

How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend?
