Tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Give me a reason to end this discussion,
To break with tradition, to fall and divide.
Because I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.
"Are you feeling fine?"
Yes, I'm feeling fine.
Tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!
I used to rely on self-medication,
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I'm getting better at fighting the future,
"Someday you'll be fine.."
Yes, I'll be just fine.
Tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Give me a reason to end this discussion
To break with tradition, to fall and divide,
So let's not get carried away
With the process of healing relations
I don't want to waste your time.
Tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Everything's fine.
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Give me a reason to end this discussion,

Yes, I'm feeling fine.

both of those are Limbeck album titles which makes sense since Patrick did guest vocals.
For me what stuck out was,
"I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!"
To me, this part sounds like OCD.
In other parts it sounds like a drug addiction, people on medication, depression, anxiety, Schizophrenia, etc.
And I love this song so freakin' much.
All the songs I hear now a days are about love or losing love or sex or wanting sex or being desperately in love or how people hate love.
It's love, love, love.
And I can't relate to it at all because a girl needs to fix herself before going into a relationship.
Like, who wants to date a girl with manic-depression and OCD?
It's a constant battle because the the depression makes me bored and a part of me wants to leave and do something exciting but the OCD holds me back and tells me to count how many steps I take, makes me worry if I left the straightener on, arrange all my shoes in a perfect line and follow my schedule and as much as I hate it and wish for everything to be over, a new day begins but nothing new ever starts.
Music is therapy and if this sounds "emo" or "pathetic" then you can leave because ^this^ right hear is my thoughts about the meaning from a hurt girls point of view.
I'm fine... (wears ipod 24/7 and gets panic attack when it gets confiscated)
^my life
"I used to rely on self-medication, I guess I still do that from time to time"
He hasn't given up the self-medication YET...
To me this seems sarcastic like someone is demanding they say they are okay so they do but it's fake. I dunno that's what I get out of that.
"'Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line"
Hes talking about hating going out in social places, and how he hates talking to anyone and just standing in line because you feel very nervous and anxious, you just worry the whole time your going to mess something up or do something stupid.
"I'm through with these pills that make me sit still"
Talking about the medicine you get when you have ADHD.
"I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous"
Obviously, He hates the things he does when hes nervous.
When I'm out, I feel very nervous, because I feel like everyone is staring at me or judging me (even though deep inside I know there not even paying attention, but this is just how I feel), Ill do my little nervous habits like Ill start counting random things, like the chairs, the tiles on the floor, constantly check my phone. ect. anything to try and get my mind off of things and to stop feeling like people are staring at me.
"But I'm getting better at fighting the future"
This talks about him getting more comfortable with going out, because he has it more under control now, hes getting better and not getting as anxious about things that have yet to happen.
I constantly worry about things in the future, some won't even be happening for years, like being in my sisters wedding, I'm already very nervous about it. I am getting better though, I'm going out more and trying my best to not be socially retarded xD
This is just my take on it, and how it relates to me...
story of my life (real bad ADHD/OCD & had to take rittalin, hated it and ended up self medicating with alot of drugs, made everything feel better, but now i dont and i get by anyways)
everything is alright :)
And obsessive-compulsive disorder is not something that "comes" with anxiety. Anxiety comes with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not to say that anxiety doesn't come from other places, but OCD is its own thing. It isn't magically tagged onto GAD.
"Getting better at fighting the future," is getting better at controlling the obsessions, the inevitible future, that will occur if the compulsions are not fulfilled properly. The person is learning to manage their obsessive-compulsive disorder rather than take medication that slows them down.
