Blackbear Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Every time you cross my mind, you get right under my skin
Am I crazy out my mind the situation I'm in
And it gets harder just to breathe, feel like the walls are closing in
But all I need is some closure
Yeah, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I get anxiety
When you're not here with me, I get anxiety
I can't eat, I can't sleep, don't know why you can't see
You give me, you give me, give me

Anxiet xiet xiet xiet xiet xiet xiet xiety ty

Every time I smile what I'm doing fine, does it show?
'Cause I'm really freaking out, too scared of letting you go
Then my heart drowns out my thoughts, my head's about to explode
What I need is some closure
I

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I get anxiety
When you're not here with me, I get anxiety
I can't eat, I can't sleep, don't know why you can't see

Every time I smile what I'm doing fine, does it show?
'Cause' I'm really freaking out, too scared of letting you go

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I get anxiety
When you're not here with me, I get anxiety
I can't eat, I can't sleep, don't know why you can't see
You give me, you give me, give me anxiety

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of the song ‘anxiety’ by blackbear, the artist talks about the constant struggle he faces whenever his significant other crosses his mind. Blackbear admits that he feels like he's going crazy because the situation he's currently in is affecting him mentally. He finds it hard to breathe, and it feels like the walls are closing in on him. Blackbear’s only solution is to find closure, but it seems like it's easier said than done.


As the song continues, Blackbear makes it clear that anxiety has consumed him wholly. He can't eat or sleep, and he feels it's all because his lover is not around. Even though he hopes his happy demeanor portrays that he is fine, he is still scared of losing that special someone. The constant worry affecting him is slowly exploding inside his head, leaving him no room to breathe. Once again, seeking closure seems to be the only feasible solution for him.


The chorus is catchy, and the beat is groovy, but beneath all that, the lyrics hold a deep meaning that many people can relate to. The song shows how anxiety can slowly chip away at a person's mental state, and it's a constant battle that they face daily, which can be overwhelming.

Every time you cross my mind, you get right under my skin
You constantly invade my thoughts and affect me deeply


Am I crazy out my mind the situation I'm in
I question my own sanity because of how much you affect me


And it gets harder just to breathe, feel like the walls are closing in
The feelings you create make it difficult for me to function normally


But all I need is some closure
I need closure to move on from these intense emotions


I can't eat, I can't sleep, I get anxiety
You have a powerful hold on me that causes me to experience anxiety


When you're not here with me, I get anxiety
Your absence triggers an overwhelming feeling of anxiety


Don't know why you can't see
I can't understand why you can't see how much you affect me


You give me, you give me, give me
You are the source of my anxiety and other intense feelings


Every time I smile what I'm doing fine, does it show?

To whoever is reading this:
your skin isn't paper, dont cut it.
your body isn't a book, don't judge it.
your heart isn't a door, don't lock it.
your life isn't a movie, don't end it.
your neck isn't a coat, don't hang it.
Your body isn't a toy, dont let people play with it.
Your beautiful just the way you are, don't let anyone bring you down💖
And no, these aren't my words, someone wrote them and I wanted to share it😊

I tried to make a version of this song for those who get anxiety from their relationships:

Every time we argue now
I'm just left questioning me
It destroys me every time, yeah
Can you really not see?

And it gets harder not to cry
Feels like I can't talk properly

But all I need, is some loving

[Chorus]

Yeah, I can't eat, I can't sleep
I get anxiety
When you argue with me
I get anxiety

I can't eat, I can't sleep
Feel like you might just leave
You give me, you give me
Give me anxiety


Every time I stand up for myself I do it for show
Cause deep down I feel like you just want to let me go

Try to get it out my mind
It's like it wants to say no

What I need is some loving

[Chorus]

Yeah, I can't eat, I can't sleep
I get anxiety
When you argue with me
I get anxiety

I can't eat, I can't sleep
Feel like you might just leave
You give me, you give me
Give me anxiety
