Silversun Pickups – Panic Switch Lyrics 15 years ago
I think its about someone fighting with themself. his alter ego is taking over and he is holding on but its overwhelming. he is dying..

time is never worth my time
blue shine bleeds into my eyes
i still sleep on the right side
but white noise can't leave the scene behind

- everything is a blur, sleeping the day away, waking up and the sky blinds you and you are so consumed with all the chaos (white noise sound frequencies)

could i be anything you want me to be
if so is it meant to be seen

-shows how reliant he has become on the voice inside him/cant trust his instinct, doesnt know if its worth it anymore

when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
can you fall asleep with a panic switch

-he is talking to the voice/alter ego inside himself, because he is essentially just a body because he is so controlled by his alter ego, when he's surrounded by people, his fingers itch/hes so anxious, its painful because he's beginning to get that he is dying (pistol whipped), he is so weak he can fall asleep even with all that he is dealing with, hes becoming numb, he is asking his alter ego, but in a way as if to say you dont have to go through all this.


i'll try to hold on tight tonight
pink slip inviting me inside

-he could die anytime, he feels the termination coming on

want to burn skin and brand what once was mine
but the red views keep ripping the divide

-i want to go back to myself, i want my body back, i want to live without this obsession with listening to the voices inside your head (relates back to white noise theory), but the red views (voices/alter ego overpowers you)

if i go everywhere you want me to go
how will i know you'll still follow

-he doesnt know if he can trust or listen to himself anymore, he doesnt know if his good intuition will follow him much longer


will you step in line or release the glitch
do you think she'll sleep with a panic...


-speaking to himself again, will you let go of me when you finally see that ive had enough???


i'm waiting and fading and floating...
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
i'm waiting and fading and floating away
i'm waiting and fading and floating away

-he thinks and does the same thing everday, just like time is not a factor, he is waiting for something, but really its just nothing, he cannot think for himself anymore.. he is dying...

(just a thought, of course every song means something different to each person)
