Tristam – Frame Of Mind lyrics

Tristam – Frame Of Mind lyrics

For now you can stay
Right here we will play
Until somehow you can find
A slightly different frame of mind

Right here in my arms
Away from all harm
You'll be safe from all the flares
Although I know you don't care

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

You can lift your head up to the sky
Take a deeper breath and give it time
You can walk the path among the lines
With your shattered frame of mind

I wish that you could always stay
We can wait right here and play
Until somehow you can find
A slightly better frame of mind

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

When they say you will fall
You can reach nothing at all
Hide your tracks beneath the rind
Of a different frame of mind

Is that what you heard
Broken words in the dirt
Yelling out into the sun
Here we come, here we come
(Whoa)
Here we come, here we come
(Whoa, whoa)
Here we come, here we come
(Whoa)

You can lift your head up to the sky
Take a deeper breath and give it time
You can walk the path among the lines
With your shattered frame of mind

I wish that you could always stay
We can wait right here and play
Until somehow you can find
A slightly better frame of mind

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

You can lift your head up to the sky
Take a deeper breath and give it time
You can walk the path among the lines
With your shattered frame of mind

I wish that you could always stay
We can wait right here and play
Until somehow you can find
A slightly better frame of mind

(Whoa)
And when daylight comes through
When the day is anew
(Whoa)
Then it will be time
For a new frame of mind

(Whoa)
When all eyes are on you
You will know what to do
(Whoa)
Since you will have found
Your new frame of mind

When you lift your head up to the sky
Take a deeper breath and give it time
You can walk the path among the lines

But always know that you'll be safe
I'll be here throughout your days
Come find me and we will play

This song is about being in a relationship with someone who has depression. Someone who only needs their partner when when the bad days are here, then when the good days roll around, they are put in this emotional box.

Thus is the role of someone who pairs with anyone with chronic depression. The writer is someone who is supportive, will be there though out their days together and help.

I find the lyrics kind of simple, yet very basic foundation of how our brain grows and reaches new and new levels. Frame of mind literally means perspective, so first lets say when you are kid you have not many perspectives, and you play around safely in your little world, not even caring what is beyond that. Chorus goes about transition when your current frame of mind is shattered and you can still go with the last one, until you fix the mess in your head. And when your perspectives grow even more, you start braking many dogmas, because what I think dogma is also only a limited frame of mind, and unavoidably you reach resistance from other people, that you have either to stay between their lines or break through. Then the last part is most difficult one because it's when you break through and you actually don't know what to do, but it inspires you to reach for more and don't loose trust in yourself.

I think that this is about someone with depression or another mental disorder. The "Frame of mind" part of it does hint to that.

"You'll be safe from all the flaws; Although I know you don't care." may mean Person A (the singer) is trying to help person b (the person the song is about/"you") think that their life is worth something, while person b doesn't care because they think they are beyond help.

"When they say you will fall" could relate to person b being bullied, and the bullies in question keep saying, "You'll never succeed, you're worthless," etc. Thiss may worsen the "shattered frame of mind" mentioned earlier, and in turn make the depression worse.

"And when daylight comes through; When the day is anew; Then it will be time; For a new frame of mind" This may mean that Person B has good days and bad days, and that when the next good day comes, then their frame of mind will be restored.

"When all eyes are on you; You will know what to do; Since you will have found; Your new frame of mind" Person B has to stand up to the bullies that called him/her worthless on that good day to make them stop hurting him/her on the bad days when he/she doesn't have enough courage.

I think it is about mental illness. Specifically DID (Dissociative Identify Disorder), hence the “shattered frame of mind” chorus. Frame of mind could be linked to other personalities and one might be having a hard time etc. “Take a deeper breath and give it time” could specify switching personalities and knowing how to continue on, perhaps. I like the previous translations of the lyrics. <|•.•|>

This might sound stupid, but I think this is about someone wishing their pet would get a different Frame of Mind, that is, intelligence, but that, until then, we can sit right here and play.
Like I said, it's kind of stupid, but in my head, it makes perfect sense, and it fits perfectly with the lyrics.
