Love Urself
Anxiety Attacks! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanna leave this place for another town
Well brace yourself for another round
No matter where you go the troubles gonna keep on coming
Until you learn to love yourself you gonna keep on running
You wanna leave this place for another town
Well brace yourself for another round
No matter where you go the troubles gonna keep on coming
Until you learn to love yourself you gonna keep on running
I've been keeping so much inside
I'm never here, I'm always in the background
It kinda feels like I've been in my hometown
Cuz some things still bring me down
I always hide myself, cuz fuck everybody else
They'll keep saying that you changed cuz you try to find yourself
And I just can't figure it out
Maybe it's in my head, I just got used to the sound
They used to tell me I'm a *beep* and try to keep me down
I've never loved myself, tryna get better now
You wanna leave this place for another town
Well brace yourself for another round
No matter where you go the troubles gonna keep on coming
Until you learn to love yourself you gonna keep on running
You wanna leave this place for another town
Well brace yourself for another round




No matter where you go the troubles gonna keep on coming
Until you learn to love yourself you gonna keep on running

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Love Urself" by Anxiety Attacks! speak about the struggle of finding self-acceptance and love amidst feelings of wanting to escape and run away from one's problems.


The song begins by addressing the desire to leave one's current circumstances and start fresh in another town. However, it warns that regardless of where you go, the troubles and challenges in life will continue to arise until you learn to truly love and accept yourself. The repetition of the line "Until you learn to love yourself, you gonna keep on running" emphasizes the importance of self-love in finding true happiness.


The next verse delves deeper into the internal struggles faced by the singer. They express how much they have kept bottled up inside, feeling constantly overshadowed and invisible. Despite being physically present, they feel disconnected from their surroundings, as if their mind is still trapped in their hometown. The mention of some things still bringing them down suggests that certain triggers or reminders from their past continue to affect their emotional well-being.


The lyrics further reveal a tendency to hide oneself from others, perhaps due to fear of judgment or rejection. The line "cuz fuck everybody else" demonstrates a rebellious attitude toward the opinions and expectations of others. The reference to people saying that the singer has changed as they try to search and understand themselves reflects the common criticism often faced when one undergoes personal growth and transformation.


The bridge highlights the inner turmoil and confusion experienced by the singer. They admit to having difficulty figuring things out, possibly referring to their own identity or purpose in life. The line "Maybe it's in my head, I just got used to the sound" suggests that they have become accustomed to negative self-talk or a pessimistic mindset. The mention of others belittling and attempting to keep them down reveals a history of low self-esteem and lack of self-love.


Overall, "Love Urself" serves as a reminder that true happiness and resolution can only be found when one learns to embrace and love themselves unconditionally. It portrays the struggles and complexities of the journey to self-acceptance, urging listeners to find the strength to confront their internal battles and break free from the cycle of running away from their problems.

Try Letting go instead.

"Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do ..."

"What does letting go mean?
to stop thinking about or being angry about the past or something that happened in the past: She finds it hard to let go of a grudge. You need to let the past go and forgive those who have hurt you. SMART Vocabulary: related words and phrases. Falling and dropping.6 days ago

LET GO | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary"

"Why is letting go so hard?
Letting go is hard because it means that you need to free yourself from some aspects of your past. Things that have become a part of yourself – of what makes you who you are today. Most people understand this as getting rid of that 'thing' resulting to a change in who you are. You can find letting go to be scary.May 30, 2020

My friend dont worry ... I know how it feels and hurts. But i can say you only one thing... Anxiety and panic attack is not real and it is not permanent. Last year i had anxiety when was suffering from covid 19, symptoms like panic attack,chest pain, difficulty in breathing , sudden jerk in sleep, continuous head ache , fear of heart attack,fear of stroke, fear of sound were hunting me each and every seconds. I went to depression ,i can sleep only 30 mins that too rarely. Those sleepless night exist more than 70 days..
My mind was saying .. thats all, im over , i can't live, fear of unknown disease , fear of my job ,fear of my future all ..
I tried to spend most of my time in searching youtube and i got relax when i saw people commenting same as me...
Later i motivated my self and i accept that i have anxiety and i believed that i can manage it. The symptoms that exists are not real ( i know it is very very difficult to believe ) but if you start accept and believe yourself . Then day by day each and every symptoms will disappear.
Believe me now i feel very bad for those days because i waste my time in unwanted fear which are really not exist.
So please give time for it you can definitely recover.no need medicine ..nothing...
Even i had short term memory loss😂..
But that too my imagination..
We cant express our real feelings about anxiety to our friends and family.
Only anxiety community can understand it better 😀❤️❤️..
Everything will gone and this anxiety will makes sharp you .when you recovery from this dump ,you will be stronger than diamond..
Mark my words my friend.
Dont panic ,no need doctor or medicine.
Only Believe yourself ..

As a lifelong gregarious adrenaline junkie, so someone not so very prone to panic or social anxiety issues... I feel fairly confident in positing that it's actually pretty common.

Right after an emotionally intense experience, one of the FIRST impulses I see (and experience if we're being honest) is a deep VISCERAL desire to share that experience with anyone who'll even pretend to give an ear. Watch some of the popular "Fails" or "Fails and Wins" videos, and you'll likely notice a similar trend, almost immediately (if the clip has any aftermath) someone (usually the subject of said clip) is already yelling excitedly "Can you f**king believe that?!" or "Did you see it? Did you see?!!!" Sometimes even before the shrapnel has finished settling, let alone the dust clearing...

We get back from some "harrowing misadventure" and it's practically a foot-race to see who can get to a crowd of onlookers and tell the story of our "incredible journey" first or best... People seem to like to brag, even about their WORST situations...

AND look at all the stereotypical scenes of "You show me yours and I'll show you mine" from battle-scars or war stories to comparing clumsiness, stupidity, or comical moments... Conan O'brian practically built his brand on comparing short-comings as a man or as a person at least periodically with his guests... the "self deprecating" segments and conversations (for instance).

You don't have to be superhuman or accomplish something truly remarkable in the scale of the world or human kind to want to share the experience or "the emotional journey". It's (in my opinion) a completely natural part of everyone's psyche to want to share their highest highs and lowest lows... AND just being "social creatures", I think this is one of many phenomena that make having a decent network of friends/family or otherwise "support" among peers of some kind an important part of being mentally healthy and strong. ;o)

TW: ⚠️suicide












I am not suicidal but I get scared I will do it. With all the other people who has the same fear as I, it actually is the most common one. My therapist said that what I'm scared of happening means that I value my life. Don't be afraid speaking to your therapist about it and if they overreact, they aren't the right ones for you

Anxiety can be uncomfortable but it doesn’t last forever we’ll all be alright this help me understand how it works with anxiety feeling “ intrusive thoughts don’t define our character or predict our actions having intrusive thoughts did not equate to a desire or intent to act upon it” help understand that feeling are respawning to are anxiety alarm and if doesn’t mean we’re gonna act up or something bad gonna happen just normal human reaction and it’s ok

Im 17 and I’ve been suffering anxiety for 3 years and this year has been the most worst year for it. Hopefully 2024 will be a better year where I can overcome it.

@rysenross1273

Same. I have it at night and get the shakes non stop with nausea and headaches. I shake all night and can’t sleep. I just hope one day I won’t have it and will be able to live my life again…

@Ducky0696

@@rysenross1273that’s how I was 3 years ago. After months of mindfulness exercises like this, In combination with regular journaling I was able to finally sleep. I’m here now because of my first panic attack in many months, but it was short, manageable and in the time it took to watch this video I’ve recovered.

@Ducky0696

I found after the first 2 nights of restful sleep the rest came easier. No more fear of the night
