Afternoon Lyrics

Cover art for Afternoon lyrics by Youth Lagoon

The TV lights the room Like a strobe against the wall. I've watched all afternoon without watching at all. I'm thinking of you dear, Every moment I'm awake. I've tied my hands with woe now want to escape Did I make a mistake?

There's a demon on the loose. He's ahead, under, I'm sure Cause I saw him late last night, Knocking on my bedroom door. I have worries in my blood, Pumping through my body's veins, And when I speak I don't make sense, But believe me when I'm singing

This is what I've taken away from a rather clear studio session flac I have. When reading the posted lyrics above with the album cut, I couldn't quite make heads or tails of it but after repeatedly listening rendition it became obvious to me that the song is about coping with anxiety.
