“Afternoon”, the third track on “The Year in Hibernation”, explores anxiety as a general theme. A lot of Trevor’s songs express his struggles with anxiety, and he has talked about how they inspire a lot of his songwriting. In an interview about his third album, Savage Hills Ballroom, Powers explaine...
The TV lights the room
Like a strobe against the wall
I've watched all afternoon without watching at all
I'm thinking of you dear
Every moment I'm awake
I tied my hands with rope, and now I want to escape
Did I make a mistake?
There's a demon on the loose
He's a head-hunter I'm sure
Cause I saw him late last night
Knocking on my bedroom door
I have worries in my blood
Pumping through my body's veins
And when I speak I don't make sense
But believe me when I sing
