The song "State of Mind" by Haley Smalls is about being caught in a state of mind where paranoia is rising and everything is turning grey. The narrator is afraid of the truth and doesn't want to know it because it might be too overwhelming. However, the narrator will never live a lie because love is never binding. The song speaks about the fear of knowing the truth and the consequences that come with it. The narrator wants the truth but is afraid of what it might bring. He/she asks the other person if they ever lied and if they were ever mine. The narrator wants the other person to be honest and tell them how they really feel. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to clear the mind and get rid of the fear that is holding the narrator back. The narrator wants to know the truth, even if it hurts, because it's better than living a lie. The song talks about memories that won't fade and secrets that won't be revealed. The narrator feels like he/she is being played and can see it in the other person's face. He/she wants to get to the bottom of things and wants to know why things ended the way they did. In the end, the narrator just wants the truth and wants to know if he/she was ever really mine. The song speaks about the need for honesty and facing one's fears to move forward and clear the mind.
