Anxiety
Bleib Modern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you want to say
Cause I don't feel like listening to you
Even I want the same
What do you want to know
Been telling you stories while I was hanging on the tree
What do you want to feel
And you fall in love with the bitter taste
Still eating soul
Still eating heart
Still loving when we fall apart
The opening lines of Bleib Modern’s “Anxiety” suggest a disconnect between two individuals. The singer, who appears to be in a position of listening, is not interested in hearing what the other person has to say. This could be due to a lack of interest, a lack of respect or just an inability to engage in any kind of meaningful conversation. It’s also possible that the singer themselves is struggling to articulate their own thoughts or feelings, adding to the overall frustration of the situation.
The rest of the lyrics go on to describe a cycle of love and loss, a common theme in many songs about human relationships. The singer talks about the “bitter taste” of falling in love and, perhaps more tellingly, suggests that the love is ultimately wasted. There is a sense of sadness and even despair in these lines, with the repeated references to “eating soul” and “eating heart” suggesting a destructive pattern of behaviour. Despite this, the overall tone of the song is not completely negative; there is a hint of defiance in the final line, with the suggestion that love still persists even in the face of adversity.
