Next month, Dream State will be releasing a new EP, ‘Still Dreaming’. It will kick off what is sure to be a busy year for the quartet. Not only will they be playing the Download Festival in June, they’ll also follow up the release of ‘Still Dreaming’ with a UK headline tour in the Spring.
The announcement coincides with the release of new single – ‘Anxious State Of Mind’. As the title suggests, it is an intense track that emphasises the personal nature of ‘Still Dreaming’.
“The song is about overcoming change and finding light at the end of the tunnel, and being there for someone whilst they navigate through a difficult chapter of their life,” said Dream State. “It continues the EP’s theme of not giving up and wraps it up in a positive, fun, & bouncy song. It’s one of our favourites from the EP and we can’t wait to play it live on our headline tour next year!'”

‘Anxious State Of Mind’ Lyrics
I feel the weight of other’s worlds on my shoulders
Do not know how much longer I can hold them
Up from themselves
Never helping themselves
Where focus goes the energy it flows
No one will ever know
About your nightmares, your nightmares
I’ll make you sleep, I’ll make you dream
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
There’s a lump sat in your throat
It’s not getting any easier to swallow
Oh, maybe it will be gone by tomorrow, tomorrow
You seem to think I wear a bulletproof jacket, but I don’t
You think it’s wrapped around me, right around me
But god knows that I’m done
No one will ever know
About your nightmares, your nightmares
I’ll make you sleep, I’ll make you dream
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
You dont ever have to feel all alone, all alone, all alone
No more fighting battles all on your own, your own, your own
You dont ever have to feel all alone, all alone, all alone
No more fighting battles all on your own, your own, your own
Stand guard, to the door
Stand guard to the door of your mind
Stand guard, to the door
Stand guard to the door of your mind
No one will ever know
About your nightmares, your nightmares
I’ll make you sleep, I’ll make you dream
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
Afraid to feel, afraid to thrive
Stand guard to the door of your mind
You dont ever have to feel all alone, all alone, all alone
No more fighting battles all on your own, your own, your own
