Songs and anxiety

[Jaco45er]

Here's one for you.

Ever listened to a song that reminds you of anxiety? or interpreted the lyrics to mean anxiety or the way you feel seems to fit the song?

Was screaming up the M11 today with this track blairing out, an anxiety track if ever there was:

Artist: Manic Street Preachers

Song: Tsunami

Lyrics:

Doctors tells me that I'm cynical
I tell them that it must be chemical
So what am I doing girl
Cry into my drink I disappear

Eyes for teeth grating over me
Bring down the shadows of my mind
Sleep and breathe under our sheets
Inhale the anxiety in - between, in - between, in - between, in - between

It really does sound like it is describing anxiety.
I'll have to look that one up .
Thanx for sharing that :)

I immediately thought of anxiety when I first listened to this one

Last Night I Nearly Died (But I Woke Up Just In Time) - Duke Special

Can't put this off forever,
I've got to tell you some time.
But when I try and say it,
My mouth just gives up and dies.

I lose my meaning when I get this feeling.

Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

I'm not who you think I am,
I slipped a stranger inside.
It helps the nights go quicker,
But I diminish each time.

And in the morning I shake the warning.

Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

I get this feeling
I got this feeling
I woke up
I woke up
I'm gonna wake up
Gonna wake up

I lose my meaning when I get this feeling

Oh, last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.
Last night I nearly died,
But I woke up just in time.

Last night I nearly died
Last night I nearly died
Last night I nearly died

WHITNEY HOUSTON LYRICS

"Love Will Save The Day"

Sometimes life can make you crazy
It can really put your body to the test
You try so hard to make sure everything goes right
And you find you've only wound up with a mess
It's a common situation
Even though you feel abandoned and alone
Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt
So don't panic when you hit the danger zone

[Chorus:]

What you need's a little change of heart
Forget this fear and frustration
Love will always play the greater part
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice -
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on you mind
Love will save the day
When you're feeling full of doubt
And fear has got you in a bind
Love will save the day
When your worlds falling apart
All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day
There's an answer in your heart
So let your light shine on my dear
And love will save the day
Love will save the day [X4]

Many things in this world bring you down
It's a wonder you can make it through the day
Well, you can't sleep cause your problems are to deep
And there's always something getting in the way
And when you turn on the evening news
Mass confusion is the only thing you see
Well there's no question that we need a new direction
Cause we all could use some peace and harmony

[chorus]

Love is gonna save the day
You've gotta believe it
