Firebug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much anxiety
And all my dreams
Are gone away from me
They are gone
I´m trapped inside my car
Hostage in my own house
But you can´t hide
From yourself
Late in the dark of night
Daylight in open street
Crime is to overcome
At anytime
Be aware
A hostage in my own house
Running away from all
I'm trapped inside my life
A hostage in my own...
A hostage in my own... life
The lyrics to Firebug’s song “Anxiety” express the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape one's own anxiety. The opening lines, "There is no liberty, Too much anxiety," convey a sense of being imprisoned by one's own anxious thoughts and feelings. The following lines, "And all my dreams, Are gone away from me, They are gone," suggest that anxiety has robbed the songwriter of their hope and aspirations, leaving them feeling hopeless and stuck in their anxiety.
The second verse further emphasizes this sense of being trapped, with lines like "I'm trapped inside my car, Hostage in my own house, Running away from all, But you can't hide, From yourself." The use of the word "hostage" creates a powerful image of being held captive by one's own fear and anxiety. The bridge, "Late in the dark of night, Daylight in open street, Crime is to overcome, At anytime, Be aware," adds an ominous feel to the song, with anxiety being likened to a dangerous threat that can strike at any moment.
Overall, Firebug's song "Anxiety" epitomizes the experience of living with chronic anxiety. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of feeling trapped and isolated by one's own fearful thoughts, and the somber melody and minor key further underscore the dark and oppressive nature of anxiety.
Line by Line Meaning
There is no liberty
I feel trapped and confined, unable to be free
Too much anxiety
My worries and fears are overwhelming and consuming me
And all my dreams
The aspirations and hopes I had for my future
Are gone away from me
Have vanished, leaving me feeling lost and directionless
They are gone
And there seems to be no way of bringing them back or achieving them
I'm trapped inside my car
Even when I'm on the move, I feel confined and stuck
Hostage in my own house
I feel like a prisoner in my own home and can't escape my troubles
Running away from all
I try to avoid my problems by avoiding people and situations
But you can't hide
However, I've come to realize that I can't escape from myself and my inner turmoil
Late in the dark of night
When it's quiet and I'm alone
Daylight in open street
Or when I'm surrounded by others in the light of day
Crime is to overcome
It feels like a daunting task to overcome my anxiety and fears
At anytime
It can strike at any moment, leaving me feeling helpless
Be aware
I must stay vigilant and conscious of my mental state so that I don't spiral further down
A hostage in my own house
I feel trapped and helpless, as if my own existence has turned against me
Running away from all
I try to escape from everything, but it only seems to make things worse
I'm trapped inside my life
My existence feels like a prison that I can't escape from
A hostage in my own...life
I feel like I'm being held captive by my own thoughts, fears, and anxiety
