Anxiety Unveiled: Navigating Life's Struggles through Bad Religion's Insightful Lyrics
Lyrics
It's a love song to the self
Expressing self-love through the song
A story recapped every day
Narrating a daily recapitulation of a story
It's a world of bogus feelings
Describing a world of insincere emotions
And a world of slow decay
Portraying a world undergoing gradual decay
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment
Contrasting laughter concealed by fear and torment
A game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion
Depicting a game driven by strange compulsions and physical reactions
Anxiety for love of life
Experiencing anxiety in the pursuit of love for life
Anxiety for pain
Feeling anxiety related to pain
Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't contain
Recognizing anxiety as an uncontrollable emotion
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man
Highlighting the destructive yet motivating nature of anxiety
Foundation of society
Emphasizing anxiety as a foundational element of society
Anxiety
Repeating the theme of anxiety as a prevailing force
Suppress it if you can
Suggesting the difficulty in suppressing anxiety
The caste of coffee-achievers didn't perform like they planned
Commenting on the unmet expectations of high-achievers
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of false elan
Describing the morning rush as a false display of enthusiasm
So run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep
Encouraging a frantic routine leading to rest and redemption
Tomorrow's the redemption
Anticipating a better future as a form of redemption
We strive for that exception
Aspiring for exceptional achievements
Anxiety for love of life
Connecting anxiety to the love of life
Anxiety for pain
Linking anxiety to the fear of losing opportunities
Anxiety, a fear that you have nothing more to gain
Expressing anxiety as a fear of losing one's gains
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man
Reiterating the dual nature of anxiety as destructive yet driving
Foundation of society
Re-emphasizing anxiety as a foundational aspect of society
Anxiety
Repeating the theme of anxiety's pervasive influence
Suppress it if you can
Advising to suppress anxiety if possible
What are we angry for?
Raising the question of the purpose of anger
We all need a common cure
Advocating for a common cure for collective well-being
That common goal for which you strive
Highlighting the common goal of surpassing others
To have more than the other guy
Expressing the universal desire to have more than others
The quest for the truth
Emphasizing the shared quest for truth
The quest for the gold
Expressing the shared pursuit of material wealth
We end up all the same
Reflecting on the universal outcome of becoming similar
The common lie
Addressing the prevalence of common lies
The righteous cry
Pointing out the shared experience of righteous cries
We end up all the same
Reiterating the universal outcome of becoming alike
The angry crowd
Describing a collective state of anger and frustration
Those lost and found
Referring to individuals who are lost and then found
Everybody's all the same
Emphasizing the commonality of human experiences
The poet's pen
Referring to the power of a poet's words in expressing shared emotions
These words I lend
Indicating the shared nature of the words being lent by the poet
We all bend to anxiety
Highlighting the universal tendency to bend under the pressure of anxiety
