This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and bitch slap somebody (bitch)
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it (no, no, no)
Anxiety bashed my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin in to it (no, no, no)
Shackled and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain
Got a itch on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My blood's boilin' it's beatin' out propane
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in the fast lane
In the rain and I might just hydroplane
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from Uzi's
I've been dealin' with somethin' that's worse then these
That'll make ya' fall to your knees
And that's the
Anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoia's brought me to my knees
Lord please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoia's brought me to my knees
Lord please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
My head keeps runnin' away my brother
The only thing makin' me stay my brother
But I won't give into it bro (no, no, no)
Gotta get myself back now
God I can't let my mind be trapped by enemies my own
Gots to find my inner wealth
Gots a hold of my thoughts
I can't get caught (no, no, no)
I can't give into it now (no, no, no)
Emotions are trapped set on lock
Got my brain stuck
Going through the motions only I know what's up
I'm filled up with pain tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn it's embedded in front of me
Nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety
Got me feelin' strange
Paranoia took over me
And it's weighin' me down
And I can't run any longer, yo
Knees to the ground
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from Uzi's
I've been dealin' with somethin' that's worse then these
That'll make ya' fall to your knees
And that's the
Anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoia's brought me to my knees
Lord please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoia's brought me to my knees
Lord please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
I don't fear none of my enemies

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
ok ok strange i no as u can tell from my name im a huge less than jake punk fan and basicly all round punk,ska fan so what im doing in a black eyed peas forum who knows, i just herd this song tho and i reckon the lyrics are really powerfull and popa roach in the chorus works well out of all the hip hop these guys are some of the best , no comments aswell im surprised
GO SKA!!!!! I like all kinda of music exept country, and i love the black eyed peas. When i'm all paranoid, and what not, this song seems to expakin exactly what i'm feeling. I think in this song, they're telling about how freaky the world is now-a-days. Like when he says "Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden" and "And I don't fear bullets from Uzi's". I just think the meaning to this whole song is to just "bitch slap" someone into seeing how scary the world can be.
"My bloods boiling its beatin' out propaine My train of thought's more like a runaway train I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane"
Then i think he's trying to be brave by saying "I don't fear none of my enemies And I don't fear bullets", but then contridicting himself by saying Paranoias brought me to my knees Lord please please please Take away my anxiety The sane and the insane rivalry Paranoias brought me to my knees Lord please please please Take away my anxiety"
So my conclusion is that he's trying to get people to see how freaky the world is now, and sometimes we dont realize how scary it really can be. The eerie-ness of it seems to call out a warning. We're living in a weird world, and things like "1000 people dead" that are on the news have become almost normal. These things aren't normal and are signs that are world is changing possible for the worse.
This is just how i picture the song, espeically after i read the lyrics carefully.
My thoughts exactly moo.. I think this song has some real emotion in it, you can feel a sense of urgency in it.
To me, this song is talking about anxiety and just the feeling of having really bad anxiety for whatever reason. I don't know if anyone can relate, but I'm dealing with some anxiety problems now, and the lyrics say exactly how I feel. I love this song.
Yeah, it's obviously about having some kind of anxiety disorder. It's a frickin awful feeling, like being jacked up on caffeine for hours on end. There's nothing worse than getting 'the fear', and that's what the song is about.
Hope you feel better soon, fivergirl.
i love this song! i reckon they're basically saying that the thing that they fear most and the thing that can ruin you is coming from the inside (ie. anxiety) rather than from external sources such as uzi's or terrorists. awesome awesome song...papa roach was an excellent choice i reckon ;) =P
This song to me is about anxiety consuming you. anxiety controls you from he inside.. one of the worst feelins in the world. Factors from the outside world can influence you to I.E bin laden
"I feel like I wanna slap somebody, turn around and BITCH SLAP somebody"
