Panic rev

You won't like this
I'm gonna tell you everything
Come read my mind
Hurry 'cause It's racing

I'm coming into panic rev
Side to side crash and burn
I'm going into panic rev
On and on on and on

You won't like this
This ain't no Serenity
To calm you down
All that calm is history

I'm coming into panic rev
Side to side crash and burn




I'm going into panic rev
On and on on and on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iris's song Panic Rev speak about a feeling of panic that the singer is experiencing. The singer tells the listener that they won't like what they have to say, but they must hear it because their mind is racing with thoughts. The lyrics paint a picture of chaos and panic with phrases such as "side to side crash and burn" and "on and on on and on." The singer acknowledges that this is not a moment of serenity and that calmness is a thing of the past. The phrase "panic rev" refers to the act of revving up an engine to create a loud noise and a burst of energy, mirroring the singer's own feelings of panic and chaos.


The meaning of the song is unclear, as it could be interpreted in a variety of ways. Perhaps the singer is experiencing a mental health crisis, or they are struggling in a relationship. The sense of urgency and panic in the lyrics suggest that whatever is happening is of great importance to the singer, and they feel they must convey it to the listener no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
