Angels And Airwaves Lyrics

Anxiety, don't pressure us
The singer is experiencing anxiety and requests it not to create pressure on them.

Faster, I dream in speeds of ashes
The singer's mind is running at a fast pace that feels burnt out like ashes.

My heart it beats and crashes
The singer's heart is racing as it is overwhelmed by emotions.

I'm running from the truth
The singer is avoiding facing the reality of their worries and fears.

Cause it fucks with my mind
The singer fears that dealing with reality will only worsen their mental state.

Waiting, we're silly, we're so reckless
The singer and their peers are impatient and careless in their behavior.

The city it's so heartless
The environment the singer is in is cold and unsympathetic.

A bottle full of crude
The singer describes themselves as a vessel holding unpleasant feelings.

That washed up in the tide
The singer feels swept up and powerless in their current situation.

I'm a passenger
The singer feels that their anxiety is in control and they are merely an observer.

So dangerous, anxiety
The singer expresses how overwhelming and potentially harmful their anxiety can be.

Handsome and calloused, young believers
The singer describes themselves and their peers as attractive and desensitized, but still relying on hope.

Hiding, plotting schemers
The singer and their peers are trying to hide their true feelings and create a plan to succeed.

And rotting out like fruit
The singer and their peers are slowly decaying as the hope fades away.

That was left here to die
The singer and their peers were abandoned and left to fend for themselves.

Talking, waited after hours
The singer and their peers spoke about their problems late into the night.

Time is bending outward
The singer feels that time is stretching out and their problems are never-ending.

I'm falling to my knees
The singer is on the verge of breaking and completely submitting to their anxiety.

To fall whole safe inside
The singer seeks a peaceful state of mind where they feel secure.
