BAD RELIGION

- Anxiety Lyrics

It's a love song to the self, a story recapped every day,
It's a world of bogus feelings and a world of slow decay,
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment,
It's a game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion:
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
The caste of coffee achievers didn't perform like they planned.
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of false elan.
So run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep;
Tomorrow's the redemption, we strive for that exception.
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a fear that you have nothing more to gain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure.
That common goal for which you strive:
To have more than the other (have more than the other) guy.
The quest for truth, the quest for gold, yeah, we end up all the same
The common lie, the righteous cry, we end up all the same.
The angry crowd, those lost and found, everybody's all the same.
The poet's pen, these words I lend, we all bend to
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety.

What is the meaning behind Anxiety lyrics?


When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, the song 'Anxiety' produced by Bad Religion, penetrates to the very core of anxiety as a major force in society, depicting it as a determining factor that inflows through the different aspects of life of the people. It metaphorically contemplates on the dual nature of anxiety, labeling it as a killer and a motivator at the same time, thus depicting its power in people's chasing after success and the universal hardships of mortals. The lyrics of the song mostly draw the outline of people’s feelings in terms of anxiety with the use of the following emotions, parts of life and social awareness, for instance, angst, anger, reflection, and love. Not only the song but also the whole world still feels the anxiety’s grip and hence poses the same question of meaning. The words touch upon the subjects of anxiety and societal pressure, and therefore this may not be appropriate for young children unless they are guided by parents. Explicit language and graphic content are absent but still mature themes ask for a rating of PG.
