Cover art for Worried Shoes lyrics by Karen O and the Kids

to me this is about a person who got herself into a situation that caused her to feel upset, paranoid and worried for a long time. she was unable to get rid of this feeling because this situation seemed unbeatable. "I tied knots in the laces of my worried shoes" but then she realized that it was possible to overcome and she "took off her worried shoes" and decided that caring and worrying are different and she could be happy again. its beautful.
