Anxiety
David Dunn Lyrics

I don't even know what I did to deserve it
Expressing confusion and disbelief about the source of the anxiety and feeling it is undeserved.

Feelin' like a hostage locked in my own head
Feeling trapped, unable to escape anxious thoughts and emotions.

Can't explain it heart is racin' break into a sweat
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety, such as increased heart rate and sweating, despite not being able to articulate the reason.

I just wanna run as far as I can get
Desiring to escape the overwhelming feelings of anxiety.

Look at what ya doing, what ya doing to me (anxiety)
Addressing anxiety as an external force causing distress and turmoil.

Making me my own worst enemy (anxiety)
Blaming anxiety for causing self-doubt and sabotaging one's own happiness and success.

Always tryna steal my joy, You destroy my sanity, Anxiety
Expressing frustration and despair at the constant impact of anxiety on mental health and wellbeing.

I don't even know what to blame for this feelin'
Struggling to identify the source of anxiety, making it difficult to address and mitigate.

I can't put a face or name to this pain
Feeling the negative effects of anxiety without being able to specifically name or understand why, adding to the sense of unease and discomfort.

Hear the static start to panic don't feel like myself
Feeling increasingly anxious and uneasy, experiencing a sense of detachment from one's own thoughts and emotions.

Try to fake it so afraid that everyone can tell
Attempting to hide feelings of anxiety, but fearing that others can see through the facade and recognize the underlying distress.

Love, these days I be feeling like, What if everybody wanted something from me, yeah
Expressing concern over potential expectations and demands from others, adding to the pressure and anxiety in one's life.

What if nobody really loved me, They just told me lies smiled big in they dub me
Questioning the genuineness of the love and support received from others, adding to feelings of insecurity and self-doubt.

Yah, and I don't feel peace crowd yelling for me
Feeling overwhelmed by external pressures, such as performance expectations, public scrutiny, and persistent attention from others.

What if I fail and don't prevail would they judge me
Experiencing a fear of failure and the potential negative reactions from others, contributing to high levels of anxiety.

I'm scared of pressure and responsibility
Feeling intimidated and overwhelmed by the weight of expectations and obligations, leading to heightened anxiety levels.

I just wanna buy my moms house up in the East
Expressing a desire to provide for and support one's loved ones as a way of coping with anxiety and finding meaning and purpose in life.

My homie lost his life, he took away his pain with pills
Reflecting on the tragic consequences of succumbing to the pressure and pain of life, highlighting the need for healthier ways of dealing with anxiety.

That day I found out that the pressure of the world can kill
Recognizing the potentially severe and damaging effects of anxiety on mental and physical health, underlining the importance of addressing and coping with it effectively.

I lean to God 'cause he the only one that help me heal
Turning to faith and spirituality as a source of comfort and support in dealing with anxiety and seeking peace and healing.

I need him to grant his favor 'cause life a scary hill (anxiety) yeah, yeah
Asking for divine intervention and guidance in overcoming anxiety and the challenges of life, acknowledging its pervasive and daunting nature.

I try to put all behind me under lock and key (yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
Attempting to suppress or ignore anxiety, locking it away as a coping mechanism, but recognizing the ease with which it can resurface.

But in the end it's all a self fulfilling prophecy (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Realizing how anxiety can become a self-perpetuating cycle, feeding into negative patterns of thought and behavior and exacerbating the problem rather than resolving it.
