Claustrophobia
Dear Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the moments just like knives
All cutting into everything
I'm hiding in the corner now
With all my fear to show me how
Afraid to see the monster that's next to me
To get away
Guess all the things that I've been through
To my pain
The walls are closing in
The are alive again
The claustrophobia is killing me
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To get away from you
Is it real?
Or just a mirror that I'm facing
I can't take much more of all this
Crawling on the floor
I'm hiding in the corner now
With all my fear to show me how
The lyrics to Dear Agony's song "Claustrophobia" are about feeling trapped and overwhelmed by life's struggles. The singer is hyper-aware of the passing of time and how each moment feels like a sharp blade cutting deeper into their psyche. The feeling of being cornered by fear and anxiety is likened to a monster lurking in the shadows, always threatening to overpower them. The singer is desperate to escape the suffocating feeling of claustrophobia, which seems to be coming from both within themselves and out in the world.
The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's desperation, and their willingness to do anything to escape the claustrophobia that is threatening to consume them. The fear is so overwhelming that it feels like the walls are closing in, and the claustrophobia is literally killing them. The repetition of the phrase "there's nothing that I wouldn't do" underscores just how intense this feeling of entrapment is.
The second verse continues to explore the feeling of being trapped, and the question of what is real versus what is imagined. The singer is crawling on the floor, feeling small and vulnerable, and is unsure whether the claustrophobia they are experiencing is rooted in reality or a manifestation of their own mind. Despite the uncertainty, the fear is very real and palpable. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the desperate desire to escape from the overwhelming fear.
