Thanks for the Anxiety
Embracing Shadows: Thanks for the Anxiety by Promise Game
Lyrics
She offered me a drink of depression
Feeling overwhelmed, she metaphorically offered a negative emotional experience.
I drank the whole cup
Accepted and fully experienced the negative emotions offered.
Remember, we went to the Sox game
Recalling a specific event (Sox game) to test the depth of the relationship.
Did you even know my middle name
Questioning the depth of knowledge about the speaker, possibly feeling misunderstood.
I fell for it, hook line and sinker
Fell for a trap or deception completely, drawing a parallel to a character named Sonny.
Like Sonny, I just lapped it up
Similar to Sonny, unquestioningly embraced the deception or situation.
You know you got to me
Acknowledging that the other person had a significant impact on the speaker.
Thanks for the anxiety
Expressing gratitude sarcastically for the added stress or emotional burden.
Staying up in my bed all night
Repetitive expression of staying awake, struggling with intense emotions, and trying to understand or grasp a particular feeling.
I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-Staying up in my bed all night
-I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-I'm a house with no foundation
Metaphorically describing oneself as unstable or lacking a solid foundation.
And I only save bad memories
Choosing to retain and focus on negative memories.
If you feel some hesitation
Welcoming or acknowledging any hesitation felt in the relationship.
Thanks for the anxiety
Expressing gratitude for the anxiety caused by the other person.
Staying up in my bed all night
Reiteration of staying awake, struggling with intense emotions, and attempting to grasp a particular feeling.
I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-Staying up in my bed all night
-I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-Me and my head
Continued dialogue between the speaker and their thoughts about the other person.
Have been talking about you
-Me and my head
-Have been talking about you
-Me and my head
-Have been talking about you
-Me and my head
-Have been talking about you
-Me and my head
-Have been talking about you
-Me and my head
-Have been talking about you
-Staying up in my bed all night
Repetition of the struggle to sleep, heavy breathing, and attempting to understand a particular feeling.
I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-Staying up in my bed all night
-I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
-I've lost myself
Expressing a sense of self-loss, difficulty in self-identification, and asserting independence while dealing with intense emotions.
I know it's hard to tell
-I'm heavy breathing
-I'm heavy breathing
-I don't need help
-I'm fine just by myself
-I'm heavy breathing
-And I'm trying to catch that feeling
Continued effort to understand or experience a specific feeling.
