    This song is so comforting , there has never been a song that explains how anxiety feels in my mind, as well as overstimulation and it genuinely makes me feel a little less lonely in this world

    I feel like the beat represents the buildup to an anxiety attack. The beat gets faster and more intense as they sing about being overwhelmed, and then when the beat drops into the wild electric music, that represents the anxiety attack. Then everything is calm and back to normal. You realize that everything around you isn’t any different. These attacks normally aren’t very physical, they happen in your head, although it doesn’t always show to the outside.

      And what seems to be monotonous repetition in the chorus is actually filled with multiple melodies...seems so simple and straightforward on one note, but it's not.

    • @maleeha896
      @maleeha896 Před 3 lety +73

      I love how each time they sing the chorus the beat get a bit louder. To me this represents each time I have an attack and it gets worse each time or harder for me to control

    • @Laura-nr8dn
      @Laura-nr8dn Před 3 lety +55

      Anxiety is physical too. Your heart races, it's more difficult to breathe, you shake, your senses don't work properly. It's a physical thing and when you need to stop an anxiety attack, you gotta calm your body first.

    • @bruhbruh9715
      @bruhbruh9715 Před 3 lety +26

      I feel like that analysis is great, and how this is a great representation of how people with anxiety, usually act. It's not a mental illness but rather a mental state and how you tap into it at moments, never knowing when it happens, while waiting to calm down. It can affect you physically, psychologically, mentally, and behavioral problems. This song's title "Overwhelmed" can be symbolized in many different interpretations, but the general assumption/definition is the state of being overworked, and when you see what the song's general meaning is, you start to understand the title, as that is the most likely reason why the artist or lyrics writer wrote those lyrics. The context in the lyrics also states the severity of the situation it is, and how people who haven't experienced the constant emotions flooding. For instance, in the beginning when the T.V. turned on the lyrics played like this," Turn off the TV It's starting to freak me Out it's so loud It's like my ears are bleeding" followed by "What am I feeling? Can't look at the ceiling The light is so bright It's like I'm overheating". Because of these lyrics, in the beginning, we know that the person didn't know this was coming, and it came out of nowhere. Overall, the message Royal & The Serpent display is one of the problems that your friend or family member might have.

    “I should be fine. But I’m not.”
    That’s the worst part of having anxiety. You know it’s ridiculous and irrational, but you can’t stop it. It’s just there. It’s hard for people to understand.
    I remember telling my now husband that my anxiety was irrational and he was confused how I could know that but still be impacted by it. He’s very understanding and has read some books and watched some lectures about anxiety to understand it better.

    Lyrics:
    Turn off the T.V
    It's starting to freak me
    Out it's so loud
    It's like my ears are bleeding
    What am I feeling?
    Can't look at the ceiling
    The light is so bright
    It's like I'm over heating
    This mind isn't mine
    Who am I to judge?
    Oh I should be fine
    But it's all too much
    Chorus:
    I get overwhelmed
    So easily
    My anxiety creeps inside of me
    Makes it hard to breathe
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed
    So easily My anxiety
    Keeps me silent when I try to speak
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed
    Verse 2:
    All of these faces
    Who don't know what space is
    And crowds are shut down
    I'm over stimulated
    Nobody gets it
    They say I'm too sensitive
    I can't listen cause I'm eyeing the exits
    Chorus:
    This mind isn't mine
    Who am I to judge?
    Oh I should be fine.
    But it's all too much.
    I get overwhelmed so easily
    My anxiety creeps inside of me
    Makes it hard to breathe
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed so easily
    My anxiety keeps me silent
    When I try to speak
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed
    Verses 3:
    I should be fine
    But it's all too much
    I should be fine
    But I'm not.
    Chorus:
    I get overwhelmed
    So easily my anxiety
    Creeps inside of me
    Makes it hard to breathe
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed
    So easily
    Keeps me silent
    Words come over me
    Feels like I'm somebody else
    I get overwhelmed.

      I totally agree, at this point in my life, I have no fricken idea who I am anymore. I can feel myself slipping away, my best friend has noticed and she is keeping an eye out for me, she is very worried, I’ve told her how I’ve feeling, she said it might be a faze, but she is still keeping me in check. But when I told anyone else, no one would believe me, and I’m so scared to say. I’m so glad I found this song, now I’ve found people that feel what I feel and that makes me feel better! ❤️
      Ps: When I tell people about this they are like “are you going crazy?” And I’m like “no, I’m not! This is just how I feel!”

I imagine having just discovered this song immediately after coming back down to earth from my own personal episode, is a key factor as to why it seems to have cut to my personal core so deeply. Initially I merely identified with the personification of the character... after reading your comment ..... now I only see myself in every tiny movement she makes. *nervously laughs* ..... thanks?

      I can't even tell you how many times I've destroyed my belongings in a fit of rage induced by being overwhelmed without a way to release it without appearing like a crazy person in public, which, stresses me out more, so I'd bury it deep until I'm alone, then I explode. I eventually started aiming my explosions at things I couldn't easy destroy. Then I needed to start wearing gloves since my hands were now destroyed instead. I'm mostly better now.

    And crowds are shut down

    I remember listening to this song when it was trending on TikTok because I liked it but now listening to it again, I’ve never realized how much this song resonates with me. I went through something that I don’t want to again before listening to this so I don’t know how I didn’t hear it earlier, maybe it’s because I’m older and have a greater understanding of myself but I do now.
    It’s also probably mainly about anxiety (Which I do have) but it also sounds so much to me like sensory issues, which is something I have recently learned I probably have. This perfectly encapsulates how I feel sometimes, anxiety and sensory wise.

  • @leafyveins4985
    @leafyveins4985 Před 3 lety +869

    I'm 28 and I've known about my anxiety since I was 8. This is the first song I've ever heard that really captures what it feels like.
    For me, it's never gone away. It's a part of who I am, for whatever reason. Perhaps an evolutionary response to a threat that isn't there? I go to therapy, I take my medications and I'm starting to explore more methods like meditation, eating much healthier, drinking a lot more water, exercising, etc. All of these things help a lot. I can't erase my anxiety but I can be stronger than it, I can work around it. I'm happy to say I haven't had a true panic attack in over a year, something I never, ever thought would be possible. I had just accepted that was my life: panic attacks every day or multiple times a day. Frozen. Silent.
    I will never stop trying to work around my anxiety. It also helps to listen to your anxiety, as strange as that sounds. To ask it questions like, "What are you really upset about? Is it that person standing too close, can you do something about it? If you can't, can you breathe slowly and deeply and try some grounding exercises? If that doesn't work, can you try to drink some water to occupy your mind in this moment, focusing on nothing else but the water? You can do this. I believe in you."
    And, as juvenile as it sounds, I speak to my anxiety as if it were a child. In a good way. I don't think of my anxiety as some monster in the closet. It's just a chemical imbalance that believes it's helping me stay safe. I explain what reality is to my anxiety and comfort it the same way I would my own child. If my anxiety is here to stay, then we better get used to each other. I can't walk around hating that part of myself because it doesn't make the anxiety go away, it makes it worse.
    Don't give up. You are worthwhile. You can go lengths of time without having a panic attack or feeling any anxiety at all. You can. It's possible, I promise you. I have seen it, felt it. It won't always feel this way, I promise. You're doing amazing sweetie ❤

    I heard this song first on the radio, coming home from therapy. I just immediately thought "that's it. Those are the words that explain how I'm feeling. And then i promptly forgot the song existed. As I do with most things. Heard it again a few weeks later and actually wrote down the name of the song.i would not forget. I swear I listened to it on repeat for hours. I would get up in the middle of the night and dance to it, partly out of boredom, partly out of the intense need to express myself. And I somehow ended up with something very close to this video. Smooth and flowy at the start, than kinda panicked, then disjointed before getting completely crased. The movement just fits the song so well

    It's interesting how every verse is shorter than the previous one. I think it greatly show how anxiety works. At first you may be able so funcion quite well, to speak about your feelings or just in general but with time this anxiety is just too overwhelming, you lack confidence, you have problem to verbalise your feelings, everything is scary and words can't expres how it feels. At some point you barely feel like you even exist anymore. It should be better but it isn't, you try but you can't funcionate anymore and that's completely overwhelming.

    This song I just found after having a really bad panic attack yesterday and I've been listening to it all day on repeat. I still have the bruises on my arms from trying to make it stop that's how intense and painful it was. This finally gave me some cathartic relief.
    It's so true nobody can understand what it's like to live inside your head of they don't have anxiety themselves. They just call you "sensitive" and to "get over it". No, you just have to ride through the storm until it passes then try to get some quiet rest afterwards. That's the only way I've been able to manage mine. ❤️

    the fact that I played this song mid dissociation helped me calm down so fast,,,, it's astonishing.
    For context, I was experiencing a rlly bad episode/case of sensory overload cause I (by myself) was in a crowded and loud area for the first time in months. Overall had just a shit ton of stimulus thrown at me. When I rushed home I just... calmed down by playing this song. Definitely starting a de-escalation playlist with this song bc by gods does it help when I'm overstimulated
    I love this song so much oml, keep up the amazing work!!!!

    I don't understand why people can't understand that anxiety exists and that it really does affect people's lives. I have social anxiety and my family just thinks I'm stupid and tells me it's annoying and they refuse to help because they think god will fix all my problems. Bullshit.

      I’m 35 this year and I have two types of ptsd and anxiety as well as my fiancé suffering autism yet both our families mostly think we are over reacting because they don’t know much about anxiety and what it does, I’ve been thinking of asking them to listen to this song but at the same time I think it’s not worth it because once a person doesn’t listen they won’t no matter what u try, if u can get help please do

      I’m so sorry for both of you! I’m actually not sure if I have any anxiety or something of the sort but I must admit that I do get overwhelmed really easily (haha) and I just wish people would understand cause it’s not something people do for attention. Unless of course they are. But that’s not theirs to judge. I’m getting off topic, hopefully everyone will realize that mental health is important and it is definitely more of a problem now that we’re all stuck with our thoughts all the time.

      My friend had anxiety so bad in high school that sometimes she wouldn’t ask to go to the bathroom because she felt like she would disturb the teacher. I did understand but I tried not to be mean about it and push her out of her comfort zone..almost 3 years later and after my diagnosis I wake up almost every day feeling anxious. You’re not stupid at all, I completely understand
