2 BASIC
Anxiety Attacks! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They always try so hard but they too basic
I'll never sell my soul to get a paycheck
They said I'd never make it out but it don't faze me
I just wanna get it all, it comes with patience
They always try so hard but they too basic
I'll never sell my soul to get a paycheck
They said I'd never make it out so I replaced them
You'll never be like me, but you can fake it
It's not my fault we ended up in different places
Face it, I've never been a rat up in the races
Been down before I know exactly what it feels like
That's why I hate it when they tell me this is real life
There's something calling me and telling me to free myself
Don't really need your help, I hope you find yours
Just wanna get it all
I think we've had enough
No... yeah
I just wanna get it all, it comes with patience
They always try so hard but they too basic
I'll never sell my soul to get a paycheck
They said I'd never make it out but it don't faze me
I just wanna get it all, it comes with patience
They always try so hard but they too basic
I'll never sell my soul to get a paycheck
They said I'd never make it out so I replaced them
In the lyrics of Anxiety Attacks!'s song "2 BASIC," the artist expresses a desire to attain success and fulfillment through hard work and perseverance. The repetition of the line "I just wanna get it all, it comes with patience" emphasizes the importance of being patient and dedicated in pursuing one's goals. The artist dismisses those who are superficial or lack depth, referring to them as "too basic." This can be interpreted as a critique of individuals who do not put in the effort to achieve true success and rely on shortcuts or compromises.
The refusal to "sell my soul to get a paycheck" highlights the artist's commitment to maintaining integrity and staying true to themselves, even in the face of external pressures or temptations. The defiance against those who doubted the artist's potential and predicted failure demonstrates a strong sense of self-belief and resilience. By indicating that such negativity 'don't faze me,' the artist showcases a determination to push forward despite obstacles or opposition.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of individuality and authenticity. The artist asserts their uniqueness and independence, suggesting that imitating or pretending to be someone else will never lead to genuine success. By acknowledging that they have overcome challenges in the past and experienced hardship, the artist underscores the importance of perseverance and staying true to one's path, even in the face of adversity or doubt.
The call to 'free myself' and the proclamation of not needing external validation or assistance further emphasize the artist's self-reliance and autonomy.

Last year I twice went to Emergency room thinking I might be having heart attack (I'm 28 years old). On both occasions the moment I saw a doctor or nurse .. I calmed down immediately.
My mother somehow knew it wasn't the case .. She could see that fear of failures and social anxiety had a grip over me.
Then she asked me to read about panic attacks .. I reluctantly did so .. but oh boy , the moment I read that it's most likely a panic attack .. I was so relaxed and happy.
Funny thing is that you might not have thoughts of panicking .. but your body still perceives it to be so .. and the damn body hurts so much .. esp hands and legs.
Now I have learnt to avoid the situations or thinking patterns which could possibly lead to such attacks .. it's good now ... not 100% cured .. but 90% reduction in such incidents.

I can only speak through my experience on how I deal with it:
1. Talk about it specifically with someone - when does it start? When does it intensify? Talk about every aspect of it.
2. It's a completely normal emotion - denying the feeling makes it worse. The key is to feel it, so you will learn how to get used to it.
3. Stress comes first and leads to panic attacks - be aware what stresses you out, and what calms you down.
4. Box Breathing - your breathing pattern affects everything - notice how you breathe and feel your heart rate. Breathe calmly.
5. You are not alone - as I have said, it's completely natural to have panic attacks, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
6. Accept it, explore that feeling. You will need to feel it to get used to it. It's your friend that is trying to say "you are stressing yourself"
7. It's a process - you will not get better in a day, or a month, or a year - expect setbacks - look at the long run. The key is to learn.
8. You do it to yourself - it will someday pass, but it's up to you. One negative thought is not necessarily the whole truth.

Said no one ever with real issues. Try having a severe physical disease. THEN you will experience what helpless really means. When alþ you can think of is survive you dont even have time to worry about how you feel. Its irrelevent.
@iahouldbestudying3953
@Rose I have had both mental and physical issues and I have also seen it in my family and both are horrible so don't try to bring down what people with mental issues feel
@jayden.dayyan
I agree.

Real soldiers have had both, and I've heard people say that they would rather lose an arm to feel happy and sane just one more time.
You've never been physically nor emotionally injured. You are naught but a child.

Panic attacks feel like your soul wants to leave your body but you are fighting so hard to stay conscious. It’s absolutely terrifying.
