Panic Attack
Biohazard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Which way to turn, is there any way out ?
Inside my mind I scream and shout
Terrible anguish,
what's happening to me ?
Somebody please set my soul free
Dug induced or maybe insane
What the fuck is wrong with my brain ?
Only grows stronger, pain it grows bigger
Somebody please pull the damn trigger
Anxiety, the panic attack
Any way for me to get back
Heart is racing, mind is a blur
Cold sweat, palpitations occur
Discontent with life (2X)
Get this monkey of my back
Anxiety, the panic attack
Someone to talk or maybe a friend
Only draws nearer the ominous end
Heart racing faster, just might explode
It's all in my head, that's what I'm told
Consummate professional curing my ills,
Stop wasting my time
with those dumb little pills
Who can I cry to? I turn here and there
Tears on my pillow, I rip out my hair
Lost count of the girls
Still I'm not sane or content
with this world




Discontent with life
Discontent with life

Overall Meaning

The Biohazard song Panic Attack deals with the intense fear and sense of impending doom that can overwhelm a person during a panic attack. The lyrics describe the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from a frightening situation, whether that situation is caused by drug use, mental illness, or some other source of anxiety. The singer begs for someone to "set my soul free" and pull "the damn trigger" to end the pain.


The song is a powerful portrayal of the intense physical and emotional symptoms of a panic attack, with lyrics such as "heart is racing, mind is a blur" and "cold sweat, palpitations occur." The chorus emphasizes the theme of anxiety and fear, with the repeated refrain "anxiety, the panic attack" reminding listeners of the intensity of the experience.


Despite the dark subject matter, Panic Attack also expresses a sense of frustration and even anger at the ineffective treatments and lack of understanding surrounding mental health issues. The suggestion to "stop wasting my time with those dumb little pills" is a poignant commentary on the limitations of psychiatric medications in treating anxiety disorders, and the line "who can I cry to?" speaks to the lack of support and empathy often experienced by those struggling with mental health issues. Overall, Panic Attack is a powerful and raw exploration of the experience of panic and fear.

Kind of ironic, in this era Bobby's hair was even shorter than Billy's, yet he's now the only one of the four who still has long hair.

Brilliant band , I can remember the punishment video on mtv in 1992 or 3 . Game changer . No longer did I have to dress in skinny jeans , leather jacket and high tech shoes to prove my metal . It had all gone street level . Cool as fck back then . They were big for that couple of years . A good time for them as the old thrash was stuck in a rut . It made the heavy scene interesting again . Made it all fresh again . Biohazard for life .
