Klonopin
Confronting Demons: A Journey Through Anxiety and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
My stomach is in my throat
Feeling extreme anxiety or nervousness, experiencing a sensation of discomfort or fear
If it gets any tighter, I swear that I'll choke
Expressing the feeling of being overwhelmed to the point of suffocation or losing control
My skin rubs against my bones
Feeling extremely uncomfortable within one's own body
As adrenaline runs from my head to my toes
Feeling an intense rush of adrenaline throughout the body
It's just a typical Tuesday night
Describing a regular evening, seemingly ordinary or routine
I can't feel my hands or focus my eyes
Experiencing numbness or lack of sensation in hands and difficulty focusing visually
All I can do now is wait, give it time
Feeling helpless and waiting for a situation to change with time
I tried to fight back but I'm paralyzed
Feeling unable to take action or move due to a sense of being paralyzed, possibly metaphorically
Who let the monsters under my bed again?
Metaphorically referencing intrusive thoughts or anxieties that disturb one's peace
Who let these fucking clowns in my head again?
Referring to troubling thoughts or mental disturbances
I'm dying to get out
Desire to escape or break free from a distressing situation
But it's coming, they're coming from inside the house
Feeling overwhelmed by impending threats or challenges originating internally
The doctor said that it's all in my head
Being told by a doctor that the distress is psychological rather than physical
So why do I feel like I'm already dead?
Despite medical advice, feeling emotionally dead or detached from life
Strap me down when the room starts to spin
Describing a situation where one feels the need to be restrained during a disorienting episode
And pump me full of Klonopin
Referencing the use of Klonopin, a medication for anxiety, to alleviate symptoms
If this won't stop, I'm not gonna make it
Expressing a fear of not surviving or coping with the situation without intervention
I'm trapped in a maze of distorted perception
Feeling trapped within a distorted perception of reality
A rat in a cage with a grave misconception
Comparing oneself to a rat in a maze, misunderstanding the reality outside their confined space
Of everything outside these four walls I'm stuck in
Feeling confined within a limited space and unaware of what lies beyond
There's bars on my windows and blood in my carpet
Symbolizing confinement and past trauma or distressing experiences
One foot in the cockpit but I'm scared to fly
Feeling hesitant or scared to engage in new experiences or challenges
I don't leave the house, I don't go outside
Avoiding social interaction or leaving the safety of home due to fear or anxiety
I feel like I'm watching my life pass me by
Perceiving life passing by while struggling internally with personal demons
While I wrestle the demons inside of my mind
Struggling with internal conflicts or mental health issues
I wasted so much time overcompensating
Spending excessive time trying to compensate for shortcomings
Trying to fit in with my self-medicating
Attempting to fit in or cope with life through self-medication
Nothing ever changed
Realizing that efforts to change or cope haven't resulted in improvement
When the buzz wears off, I'm still the same
Recognizing that despite temporary relief, the core issues remain the same
I feel like I'm in this alone
Feeling isolated and alone in dealing with personal struggles
Holed up in my comfort zone
Retreating to a safe or familiar environment
With all of my fears, all the unknowns
Overwhelmed by fears and uncertainties about the future
Fuck this place, I want to go home
Expressing a strong desire to escape the current distressing situation
