Shit Happens
Anxiety Disorder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This night I had a dream
And now
I'm a new girl

I saw your dirty face
In front of me
Reflected on a broken mirror
It lied down a street
I heard your disgusting voice
When a mad man was talking
He lied down a street

Shit happens
Fucking shit happens

This night
I made a fucking dream
He smiled
To me
This night




I made a fucking dream
He smiled

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anxiety Disorder's Shit Happens seems to be a disillusioned reflection of the world around them. The first line, "This night I had a dream and now I'm a new girl," could be interpreted as a person trying to escape their reality by dreaming of starting anew. However, the rest of the lyrics paint a picture of a grim, broken world. The character sees the reflection of a "dirty face" on a broken mirror and hears "disgusting" voices. This could represent the harshness and ugliness of society that they cannot escape even in their dreams. The line "He smiled to me" could potentially be the one consoling moment in the song, but given the dark nature of the rest of the lyrics, it could also be interpreted as a sinister, ironic twist.


The repeated phrase, "Shit happens, Fucking shit happens," seems to encapsulate the overall theme of the song. It feels pointedly apathetic, as if the character has resigned themselves to the idea that the world is shitty, and there's nothing they can do about it. The line "a madman was talking," could also be interpreted as a commentary on the state of the world. Perhaps the madness around us is so bad that even a madman's voice blends in with the rest of the chaos.


Overall, the lyrics of Shit Happens provide an interesting and somewhat hopeless perspective on the state of the world, and the dream-like quality of the song adds a layer of surrealism to the bleak picture that the lyrics paint.

I could remember several years ago I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with BPD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

@AllenGeorge-pw2xo

they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.

@NathanOriaku

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with mdd, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Greece.I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

I had horrible social anxiety and I had no idea it was anxiety until I realised it was taking over my life. I am no longer suffering from it, and I believe the main reason is that I faked it until I made it, and I pushed myself out of my comfort zone no matter how scary it was. I remember crying in the gym changing room because I was too scared to work out around others, but I pushed myself. I also remember forcing myself to attend my university lectures, make new friends, make phone calls (despite my sweaty palms and extensive planning before the call) etc.

@joellek.8260

wow. I have social anxiety too and your comment empowered me. Takes a lot of strength and courage to get through it on your own, so I respect you a lot for that! God bless.

@hermionegranger6986

Heyyy i have social anxiety as well can you like give me a few pointers as to how to get rid of it

@realest_

@hermione granger My biggest advice is don't worry about everyone else and stop caring about people's opinions. Once you start doing that, you'll see everything get easier. Faking it is one way I started doing this, do things that are completely outside of your comfort zone. Take on roles at school/university that you are uncomfortable with. Again, don't listen to negative people or don't worry about what people will think! Slowly you'll notice that you are making huge progress. Always remember that the next human being is just like you.
