Panic Attack
Navigating the Depths: Langhorne Slim's Powerful Reflections on Mental Health
Lyrics
I called a healthcare professional
I reached out to a healthcare professional
Wanna speak to someone confidentially
Seeking a private conversation for support
Don't know just how I'm feelin'
Uncertain about my emotions
But I'm feelin' feelings exponentially
Experiencing intense and growing emotions
Calm voice started asking questions
A calm voice inquired about my situation
Said, "Ma'am I was hoping for advice
Expressing a desire for guidance, not just empathy
I'm feelin' lots of feelings
Feeling a multitude of emotions
Not a single one of 'em feels nice"
None of the emotions are pleasant
She said, "Do you ever think about dying"
Asked if I contemplate death
Said, "No but sometimes I lie"
Admitted to occasional dishonesty about my feelings
"Do you wanna live?"
Posed the question of whether I want to live
Said, "Yes, but I feel like shit"
Expressed a desire to live despite feeling terrible
On a scale of one to ten do you feel anxious
Rating anxiety levels on a scale of one to ten
On a scale of one to ten do you feel scared
Rating fear levels on a scale of one to ten
Said, "I'm feelin' lots of feelings
Reiterating the experience of intense emotions
Some reason I cut my hair"
Mentioned a drastic action like cutting hair without clear reason
Sometimes my skin starts crawling
Describing a sensation of skin crawling
Sometimes the creature's calling
Referring to an internal struggle or distress
Sometimes the walls start caving in
Feeling overwhelmed and trapped
Sometimes I feel isolated
Expressing a sense of isolation
Sometimes I feel so small
Feeling insignificant or powerless
Sometimes I get irritated
Experiencing irritability
Right now I feel it all
Currently feeling a combination of emotions intensely
She spoke and I tried to listen
Attempting to listen to advice
Said, "Son, there may be no cure
Being informed that there might not be a complete cure
But I swear that life's worth living
Assured that life is valuable and worth living
It's the only thing worth living for"
Life is the only thing worth living for
To my friends in the same position
Extending empathy to friends in a similar situation
I wish there was a cure
Expressing a wish for a cure for their struggles
But I know that life's worth living
Reiterating the value of life despite challenges
It's the only thing worth living for
Life remains the only thing worth living for
I called a healthcare professional
A repetition of reaching out to a healthcare professional
Wanna speak to someone confidentially
Seeking confidential communication for emotional uncertainty
Don't know just how I'm feelin'
Reiterating uncertainty about current emotions
But I'm feelin' feelings exponentially
Experiencing intensifying and escalating emotions
