This song is written about when Lean arrived back to his Dad’s house in Sweden after being in a psychiatric unit. The piano is purposefully out of tune to mimic the mental state of Lean at the time.
Lean told NPR that “Agony” was his interpretation of Alice In Wonderland and Beauty And The Beast.

[Verse 1: Yung Lean]
Take a pill and go to sleep
I'm chasing witches in the street
I'm the last page in your book
Can't write a song, only do hooks
Watching horses in the fields
The dragon rests in agony
When I'm afraid, I lose my mind
It's fine, it happens all the time
When I'm afraid, I lose my mind
It's fine, it happens all the time
[Chorus: Yung Lean]
Isolation caved in
I adore you, the sound of your skin
[Verse 2: Yung Lean]
So many lies that I found
Blood, Heaven, I stick to the ground
So many times I realized
What I seek for is right in front of my eyes
I'm alone in a hole in the ground
A theatre of dogs is still around
My furniture has come alive
I'm dancing with a candlestick tonight
Flying kites, raven outside my window
Smiles with fright
[Chorus: Yung Lean & Icelandic Choir]
Isolation caved in
I adore you, the sound of your skin
Isolation caved in
I adore you, the sound of your skin
Isolation caved in
I adore you, the sound of your skin
[Post-Chorus: Icelandic Choir]
Iso-Isolation caved in
Iso-Isolation caved in
Iso-Isolation caved in
I adore you, the sound of your skin
The sound of your skin
Agony was produced by Gud.
The only feature we have on (Stranger) is an Icelandic children’s choir. I’m excited for that. They were great to work with. I very much felt like Damon Albarn.
