State of Mind - the Demos State of Mind
-
- Music
State of Mind is a singer-songwriter-electro-drone-noisepop act based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Its mastermind is the Danish art rock veteran, singer, synthesizer player and multi-instrumentalist Kim Bülow Bonfils.
State of Mind's songwriting draws its inspiration from talented outsiders like Daniel Johnston and Serge Gainsbourg. The sound mixes repetitive synthesizer trakcs with krautrock elements and layers of noise and feedback drones.
The lyrics explore the complex workings of the human psyche. From the eye-opening epiphanies to the destructive thought patterns that turn us into helpless bystanders to our own lives.

It Doesn't Matter
Not a clue
And still I only wish I knew
Was this all that I could do
Turn away
When I have nothing left to say
Here comes another day
And in the end
It doesn't matter
In in the end
It doesn't matter
Do I dare?
It's almost like I didn't care
As if I wasn't there
And there you go
What happened centuries ago
We have no way to know
And in the end
It doesn't matter
In in the end
It doesn't matter -
Inconvenience
I don't know much
But I know this to be true.
I let myself down more than you
And when you look at me
I see you wonder why
I let opportunities slip by
So I apologize
,For the inconvenience
Oh, I apologize
Somehow I've broken
All that I could break
Too much for anyone to take
And when I tried to help
I only made it worse
Don't hang around - I am a curse
So I apologize
,For the inconvenience
Oh, I apologize -
Imagine The Pain
Imagine one day
Just losing your way
You cry out in vain
Imagine the pain
Talk to a friend
Forget it's the end
Rewire your brain
Imagine the pain
Imagine the pain
All that is hidden down below
The secret remains
That you will never really know
When everyone's gone
Go back to square one
Go slowly insane
Imagine the pain
You never know why
You still have to try
For capital gain
Imagine the pain
Imagine the pain
All that is hidden down below
The secret remains
That you will never really know -
The Last Dance
It's the end of the world as we know it
But you never knew it all that well
If you can't have just what you wish for
You choose a lifetime in hell
So I said
Hey now, can I have the last dance?
Hey now, can I have the last dance?
There's music in the air
And we've all got blood on our hands.
When you walked the path to justice
Looks like you took a wrong turn
When against your great convictions
Human life is no concern
So I said
Hey now, can I have the last dance?
Hey now, can I have the last dance?
There's music in the air
And we've all got blood on our hands -
Did You Ever Notice
You never told your secrets
So no one ever heard
But even from your silence
I knew every word
I knew every single word
The past is kind of funny
The future makes you scared
But now you'd like to tell me
That you never cared
That you never really cared
Did you ever notice
That you still feel alone
Did you ever wonder
When will you be coming home?
We live between the moments
Uncertain what they'll bring
I ask you what's the matter
You tell me "Everything"
You tell me "Simply everything"
Did you ever notice
That you still feel alone?
Did you ever wonder
When will you be coming home? -
Let Every Second Last A Lifetime
You didn't catch
The rising sun
And now you never will
You missed the point
And now it's gone
But you still have time to kill
Let every second
Last a lifetime
Who can say
If it comes round again
It's time to stop
The Earth from spinning
It's time to feel
What I felt then
What I felt back then
Some may say
That life goes fast
But it's all we'll ever know
And in the end
To make it last
You have to let it go
Let every second
Last a lifetime
Cause who can say
If it comes round again
It's time to stop
The Earth from spinning
It's time to feel
What I felt then
Let every second
Last a lifetime
Cause who can say
If it comes round again
It's time to stop
The Earth from spinning
It's time to feel
What I felt then
What I felt back then
