Xanax
Elohim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No I'm just being dramatic
It's this massive panic
That's fueling my heart rate
It's racing and I'm manic
Have you ever had the feeling
When you just don't wanna breath
And there's nothing to believe in
Have you ever walked outside
And felt like you might throw up
Right beside your car
Before you even get inside
Every day of my
Day of my
Day of my life ...
I don't wanna be dependent
On synthetic medicine
That keeps me calm enough to sleep
But kills me softly when I'm weak
Have you ever looked beyond the eyes
Of someone else's life
And thought that you were fine
Until you turned crazy over night
Every day of my
Day of my
Day of my life ...
Day of my
Day of my
Day of my life Every day of my
Day of my
Day of my life
In 'Xanax', Elohim describes her experience with anxiety and panic attacks. The opening line, "I woke up to a heart attack / No, I'm just being dramatic" highlights the often-overbearing physical symptoms of a panic attack whilst also acknowledging the tendency for others to dismiss these symptoms when they are not visible. Elohim then describes the feeling of a panic attack as "massive panic" which causes an intense increase in her heart rate, leading to a sense of mania. She then goes on to describe the feeling of not being able to breathe or find anything to believe in, and the physical symptoms that come with this.
Elohim then shifts from describing the physical sensations of anxiety to the emotional impact it has on her life. She expresses a reluctance to rely on synthetic medication, acknowledging the negative toll it can take on her health, yet feels that it is necessary in order to bring some level of calm to her mind. She also speaks to the isolation that can come with anxiety, as she describes looking beyond the eyes of someone else's life and realizing that she is struggling with her own inner turmoil.

God bless the fact there is a song out there that doesn't glorify xanax and mental illness but instead talks about how frustrating it is to live with this illness and how weak it makes us feel to have to rely on a pill to help us.
@lizz_arttt
B Weiss preach, i suffer from anxiety(severe) and it makes me mad when people make it a joke
@king72
Lizzie Swanson not a joke... but some people like to get high
@commanderwaddles3483
I have anxiety ( severe ), and I also find comfort in joking about it because dark humor is just about the only thing that's a constant positive attituded thing, it's like a friend that lets you have a good time with nothing but a filter on top of the things that make you not wanna be here
@420spacecowboy
Benzos give you more anxiety though lol. Seriously that crap will make your life a mess. Which causes anxiety. That is not even touching on the anxiety you feel without these meds. You do not "need" a pill
@420spacecowboy
@Möccus Däzbog few need anxiety meds like that. Most of the people who do need them, need them to prevent seizures or SEVERE emotional trauma. Not simply being uncomfortable in your skin growing up. That is life people.
