The Power Of Madness
Anxiety Disorder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When I wake up
I see you
I can't sleep no more
There is you
When I wake up
I feel you
I can't sleep no more
You are
the one I want to see
The one I want to feel
I need to hear you voice
Talk to me!

I'm a fool
Don't ask me why I am
I'm a fool, more then you
I enjoy to be
Like people hate to see me
I enjoy to be ...fool!

I can feel the power of my madness
I can feel the power in me




I can feel the power of my madness
I can feel ...

Overall Meaning

the power in me


The opening lines of Anxiety Disorder's song The Power Of Madness indicate that the singer is consumed with thoughts of someone they care about as soon as they wake up. This person may be a significant other, a friend, or even a family member. The intensity of their feelings is such that the singer finds themselves unable to sleep or concentrate on anything else until they have seen this person or heard their voice. They describe themselves as a "fool" who enjoys being this way, suggesting that their affection for this person may be irrational or self-destructive in some way.


However, the chorus reveals that the singer perceives their madness as a "power" rather than a weakness. They seem to take pride in their overwhelming emotions and see them as a force to be reckoned with. This may suggest that the singer is struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, and that they have come to accept these feelings as a part of who they are rather than something to be ashamed of. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a complex mix of vulnerability, longing, and self-assurance that reflects the often-conflicting emotions experienced by those living with a mental illness.

From someone who suffered for decades with undiagnosed major and endogenous depression since preadolescence, finally being diagnosed in my early 40s, and upon my usual MO (since my 20s) of deep introspection to increase understanding of my inner workings, fully healed myself of both dysfunctions...

...from that long and productive journey within, It's easy to conclude my depressions were all my fault, they were my creations, I just didn't know this for decades before I had a name to my dysfunctions, nor did I understand this till the year I found the last piece to the puzzle and fully healed myself of them.

IOWs, Depression is a self-created response to events, it's a non-beneficial coping mechanism\skill...commonly created unconsciously, and only through deep introspection can one hope to finally see the underlying mechanisms and how they were created...

...thus once you realise you created these non-benefical response to life's difficulties, you then may realise you're also the one who can change, develop and heal yourself.

But if you think\believe you have no power over what you'll think and feel from your difficult experiences, how you'll respond, then you'll remain powerless and under the control of externals.

I've recently released a project titled "The Fishbowl Syndrome" that is centered around the topic of our mental health and art; how they intertwine in experience or how they are sometimes viewed juxtapose, and ostracized as one here in America;to which my first debut music video "The Horse on a Trampoline", works showcase on the spectrum of my own experiences with it-- that i feel fans alike of FKA twigs, Doja Cat, Earthgang, , Flying lotus, Childish Gambino or those of Bjork, Kid Cudi , Lupe Fiasco, & Reggie watts may resonate with...id like to share this with you by giving a warm welcome to my Channel to not only, like and subscribe but to comment with genuine thoughts . (Please leave a comment there underneath the video and not here) as i would like for my listeners to feel welcomed to give more in thought towards those uncomfortable conversations than in clout, which is what my subject matter is based on ..."Commentary on our shared world".In hopes that this may be fruitful to you i look forward to your response

@aestheticfitness1354

Ok, here is my take on this...
I am no PHD Doctorate, I am however a Masters student studying psychology (Child & Adolescent Mental Health) at Leeds Beckett University in the UK...

From personal experience I had a "few" of these catastrophes as follows:
1. My girlfriend of 7 years had an affair and decided to chance a new life with said individual.
2. A full blown family court custody battle ensued for full care of my son (2.5 years long)
3. I was passed on an STI by my unfaithful partner (which I got clear of with modern medicines)
4. My Car windows were smashed in, tyres slashed, windows on car egg/floured & my home vandalised several times (by ex's new partner & third parties)
5. The Ex's new love affair came to my home and attacked me by strangling me and threw punches. (we fought, he got 2 black eyes.. My amateur boxing days really paid off in being able to protect my son & myself).
6. I was left in debt the Ex had unpaid debts which were passed to me also so I had debt collectors on my tail too...

Now there is much more that I endured during this time which I wont put on here there are things I was accused of etc but I wont go into detail. My mental health suffered negatively as a result.. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety & I had started to get panic attacks. The thought of losing my son made me very much question my existence to the point that I was ready to end it all should things not turn out the way I thought they ought to.

Now.. I had 2 choices I could curl up into a ball and turn to drink or drugs, give in, accept my fate or I could fight this thing and give it my ALL my very ALL. My absolute best and that's what I decided to do. I studied family law every night and learned all around the scenarios and how to deal with things so that I could be the most prepared version of myself. I was an hour early to every court hearing.

After the pre mentioned 2.5 years in family court I won full residency of my son and I've raised him to the best of my ability...

By this point I had been hammered from all angles the uncertainty of where my son would live killed a part of me, the betrayal killed a part of me.. I lost myself in the process. Once court was done I decided to focus on myself. To improve my health. I had no qualifications from school but after a years voluntary work within community based help centre for families I applied to University to study a degree in Teaching & Education. I studied for 3 years and put my heart and soul into it and I got a 2:1 (B of the Uni world). I then decided to see how far I could really take this thing after facing adversity so overwhelmingly intense that it brought out innate qualities that I assume anybody is capable of.

Now I'm studying my master's I am doing well so far as its my first semester. I never saw myself getting this far despite feeling I have nothing to prove anymore. I can look myself in the mirror now which is nice to be able to do to be honest. I believe that any work I do in this field once fully qualified 9 months from now will be of great importance and most importantly beneficial to the people I work with. I came from nothing and I now have an understanding surrounding the human psyche and what drives us and the implications of things we go through and how the all effect us uniquely as we are all different. No 2 handprints are the same and neither are 2 minds.

I agree with the complexity theory that Jordan Peterson speaks of. However the RESILIENCE of the individual is one of the main factors in how things play out. We all have ups and downs in life but I feel that I am now in a position after dealing with what I have that I will always be able to make the best decision forward and that's all its about. Building resiliency isn't always a choice but it can be done... sometimes life just happens. Many of this comes down the the nature nurture debate and inclusive of genetic predispositions exhibits that its not one or the other but rather a multitude of both.

Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did...

@Novastar.SaberCombat

I totally hate my environment here on Earth.

30+ years and no matter where I go or what I do... the suffering just NEVER, EVER, EVER ENDS.

It's ludicrous. Like, seriously, when am I going to have some PEACE?

Never. Probably not even when I'm dead. SOMEone will F#@k that up for me. And if there is 'afterdeath', I'm beginning to think it may end up 'more of the same'.

No, thank you. ✨

Well obviously Jordan is trying to sell product. F*** him He's now public domain. Every word he says is open for everyone to repeat even if it's just a minor comment. You know what he should do? Offer his services for free to random people and he can pick whoever you choose is. But he needs to offer for free.

Of course she's not smart enough to actually console or provide information to me that I don't already know, but the weaklings that he needs to think about.

@55fixcom

@@johnston.scott64 For all the good he has done,
don't you agree that he deserves an income ?
Do you work for free ?
Perhaps you should try it.

@johnston.scott64

Try what@@55fixcom? Not working in free money?

Honestly I don't have a choice. I know people will pay Jordan for an interview or two because his controversial. And he probably has books out, I'm sure he does, I just don't know what they are where they are.

@johnston.scott64

But that's not the point of my post..

His quote seems like a joke, but it is super accurate. I found this stat super interesting. Even though 100% of foster children can go to college for free because it is completely paid for by the state, they are the group least likely to attend or graduate.

Solely due to their chance of birth by deadbeats, they are gimped from childhood. Totally stinks.
