Anxiety Lyrics

I let him in, he won't stay out
the wrong one, he loves me, unshakable doubt
he waits for me to wake me up, 'til he wrings me out every drop
under sun while I race he waits patient in my bed
a smile on his face 'til he wrings me out every drop
I dreamed last night that he let go
he was falling in circles
I laughed as he froze
but there he'll be revenged on me
'til he wrings me out every drop
yeah, every drop

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love the way she describes the emotion as a person, a lover she can't get rid of, someone who sucks her dry, who's always there waiting for her. It especially strikes me how 'he's' always in her bed, as it seems anxiety always comes as we're falling asleep or waking up. I also wanna say how brilliant the composition of this song is - the strings sort of spiral out of control (to me anyway).
