This song immediately made me think of my OCD and what I deal with everyday when an intrusive thought pops into head. This song made me think about how my therapist tells me to handle my obsessions. She tells me to focus on the things around me, things that are real like the presence or absence of sound when I start to get anxious about one of the thoughts. The song's not an exact match its just the first thing I thought about.

My Interpretation

Wow! Thought only I would have this feeling. I also have OCD and suffered years cuz of it. I couldn't agree more. Good luck to us!

Absolutely true!
