Anxiety Lyrics

The part which I find more meaningful is:

What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure

I think it means that if we think about it there is really no need to be anxious all of the time. Most of us live way better than kings of old - we have Internet, luxuries, easy food and restaurants, movies, plenty of friends and even more potential friends... The reason why everyone is so angry is because we think it's each of us against the entire world - no wonder we're always anxious!

As the song says this world can be heaven or hell, it's all a matter of how you look at it:

It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment

Of course you may be in a shitty position in a certain moment but if people and leaders would really sit down, talk things through and coordinate we could easily get everyone to work less, be more friendly, help each other... Unfortunately we're all so busy keeping ourselves busy and worried that no one has time for that or even worse, no one is willing to take up the responsibility.
