Post #680: Pearl Jam - "State of Love and Trust" - Singles Soundtrack

So as I was flipping through my Sirius stations on my return to work this morning, I heard Madison mention something on Lithium about the song, "State of Love and Trust", by Pearl Jam. She didn't actually play the song, and I had to make a mental note to listen to it when I got home because I hadn't heard that one in ages!!

As Eddie Vedder sang this tune to me once again, of course it took me back to the film, Singles, which I still happen to own on VHS (and yes, I still own a VCR on which to play said VHS tape).  It also took me back to a time of innocence when I still believed in romantic love... back to a time before I had been burned so badly over and over again... back to a time when I knew in my heart that there were a ton of "good guys" left and one was waiting for me... back to a time when I still had hope...

Life does sad and strange things to a person, but at least there are songs like this to take me back to a simpler time... back to a time of "love and trust"...

Until next time...

State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands, hands, yeah

And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself

Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be accountin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah

And the barrel shakes aimed ah directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Myself, myself

Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah

And I listen, yeah, for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes
Aimed right at my head, won't you help me
Help me from myself

State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and yeah yeah
