The songs starts off with a tv-man talking about some ‘cure’ stating to call police if suspicious activity is seen, then the song slowly sounds like the singer is falling into a breakdown. Causing it to become more louder, then quieting down when they talked about people not getting social anxiety....
[Intro]
To report suspicious activity, you can call 911 for immediate response
And there’s still no word on a cure for the virus
[Verse 1]
Turn off the TV
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 overheating
[Pre-Chorus]
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
What's come over me?
Feels like I'm somebody else
I get overwhelmed so easily
My anxiety keeps me silent
When I try to speak
What's 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 overstimulated
Nobody gets it
Say I'm too sensitive
I can't listen 'cause I'm eyeing the exits
[Pre-Chorus]
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
What's come over me?
Feels like I'm somebody else
I get overwhelmed so easily
My anxiety keeps me silent
When I try to speak
What's come over me?
Feels like I'm somebody else
I get overwhelmed
I get overwhelmed
[Bridge]
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
What's come over me?
Feels like I'm somebody else
I get overwhelmed so easily
Keeps me silent
What's come over me?
Feels like I'm somebody else
I get overwhelmed

I was having a really hard time with some newer things I was experiencing like social anxiety & panic attacks. Everything was total sensory overload and my mental health was struggling. Getting the opportunity to transmute my feelings/fears into music/art is something that I am unbelievably grat...
