Dennis Lloyd's poignant lyrics delve into the struggles of battling inner turmoil and anxiety. The recurring imagery of "birds singing," "bells ringing," and "walls coming down" juxtaposes the protagonist's mental chaos with a world that seems obliviously serene. Despite efforts to find solace in another day or time, the underlying anxiety remains pervasive, causing a persistent feeling of isolation. The repeated refrain, "Why do I feel like I'm fighting on my own?" underscores the loneliness and helplessness experienced during anxious episodes. Ultimately, the song captures a universal struggle with mental health, emphasizing the relentless nature of anxiety and the yearning for relief and understanding.
Anxious
Lyrics
I got a lot of things to say
So many troubles on my mind now
But we can find another day
'Cause the birds are singing
The bells are ringing
The walls are coming down
Another life, another day
Oh, I don't wanna talk about it
Yeah, we can find another time
'Cause the birds are singing
The bells are ringing
The walls are coming down
I keep feeling anxious, baby
Days and the nights when I just keep feeling nervous
Help me
Why do I feel like I'm fighting on my own? Mmhmm, mmhmm
Fighting on my own, mmhmm, mmhmm
It happens every other day
Since the moment that I wake up
I wanna pack and run away
'Cause the birds are singing
The bells are ringing
The walls are coming down
Another life, another day
Oh, I don't wanna talk about it
Yeah, we can find another time
'Cause the birds are singing
The bells are ringing
The walls are coming down
I keep feeling anxious, baby
Days and the nights when I just keep feeling nervous
Help me
Why do I feel like I'm fighting on my own? Mmhmm, mmhmm
Fighting on my own, mmhmm, mmhmm
Mmhmm, mmhmm
Mmhmm, mmhmm
I keep feeling
Mmhmm, mmhmm
Mmhmm, mmhmm
Mmhmm, mmhmm
I keep feeling anxious, baby
Days and the nights when I just keep feeling nervous
Help me
Why do I feel like I'm fighting on my own? Mmhmm, mmhmm
Fighting on my own, mmhmm, mmhmm
I keep feeling anxious, baby
Days and the nights when I just keep feeling nervous
Help me
Why do I feel like I'm fighting on my own? Mmhmm, mmhmm
Fighting on my own, mmhmm, mmhmm
Fighting on my own
