Flow State by Distance From Zero
Flow state is a mental state of complete absorption in an activity, where a person feels energized, focused, and fully immersed in the process. During this state, being totally "in the zone," we lose our sense of self-consciousness and time (definitely time), and our performance is at its peak. I personally see it as a form of possession, the song takes over.
The title also has a double edged meaning for us, as in 'The State', we largely write from a UK perspective and our country is in a precarious state, and from what we see, the wider World is in the opposite to being in a Flow State. Dire straits would be more accurate.
It's a mixed bag of songs, covering subjects of protest, what's wrong, resistance, resilience and some hope that humanity can turn it all around.
