Panic Attack
Navigating Inner Turmoil: Panic Attacks Unveiled
Lyrics
Thought I could fake this thing alright
Thought I could pretend to be okay
Thought it could somehow get me by
Believed that pretending would be sufficient
Watching the doctors as they slide
Observing medical professionals as they perform procedures
Needles into my eye
Describes the invasive nature of medical treatments, injecting needles into the eye
Thought I could finally get around
Hoped to overcome obstacles
Laughable symptoms keep me down
Challenging symptoms hinder progress
Faces I see all keep me blind
Encountering people who contribute to confusion and ignorance
And now they're redemption's mine
Claiming redemption as one's own
Now that I can't exchange actions for words
Unable to substitute actions for words
Now that I found these inside fears the worst
Discovering internal fears that are particularly distressing
Now that I know there's no place left to hide
Realizing there's no escape or refuge
Can I become all I thought I might
Questioning the possibility of achieving one's aspirations
As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them
Commentary on leaders who mindlessly follow others
Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail they always go
Receiving calls about what is missing, delving into unnecessary details
Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances
Expressing skepticism but offering condolences in difficult situations
All too often I'm missing the spirit to fit in so call me out
Feeling disconnected and unable to conform to societal expectations
Thought I could soundly sleep tonight
Believing in the possibility of a peaceful sleep
Positive clear and breathing right
Optimistic about having clear thoughts and proper breathing
Panic attacks, panic attacks me now
Experiencing panic attacks that overwhelm the individual
Seems like a fair redemption
Suggesting that redemption or relief seems reasonable or deserved
