“Anxieties (Out of Time)” is the Regrettes' fourth and final single to come from their album Further Joy, discussing the feeling of anxiety in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the feeling of “running out of time” Lydia describes.
[Verse 1]
I can hear the sirens
When my vision's blurry
And my eyes won't stay dry
'Cause my thoughts will hurt me
[Refrain]
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Verse 2]
I can feel their anger
I can't run much longer
Feel the faults, they rage out
Ones in the vaults, they'll break out
[Refrain]
To knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel it comin'?
You won't see it comin'
[Chorus]
All of these anxieties
Come over me, just let me breathe
Are we just forever runnin' out of time?
Missin' how it feels to really be alive
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock mе down, I won't back down
[Post-Chorus]
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Verse 3]
I can see the silеnce
And it's comin' towards me
But my body weighs down
And my mind is burning
[Refrain]
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel it comin'?
You won't see it comin'
[Chorus]
All of these anxieties
Come over me, just let me breathe
Are we just forever runnin' out of time?
Missin' how it feels to really be alive
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Post-Chorus]
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Bridge]
What can I, what can I do?
Can somebody give me a damn clue?
Fear on my body like glue
Can't move, I can't move, I can't move
What can I, what can I say?
Tellin' myself that I'm okay
Colors come after the rain
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Chorus]
All of these anxieties
Come over me, just let me breathe
Are we just forever runnin' out of time?
Missin' how it feels to really be alive
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down
[Post-Chorus]
Knock me down-down, up, back down
Knock me down, I won't back down

This was one I wrote at the beginning of the pandemic, and it encapsulates that impending doom, when it felt like everything in front of me was terrifying, it’s all coming at me, that’s all I could focus on. This was before I was even diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I think a lot of people exper...
