“Overthinking” was written about anxiety and how to overcome it. At the root of this anxiety is the fear of death. The artist reminds the listener that we are infinite souls, and that our worrisome minds can be soothed through practices like breath work and grounding.
I’m in my head, not out there
All these thoughts have me ensnared
What will go wrong? I am scared
Can’t stop this worry about
Failing
Falling
Though I’m present, I’m not here
My subconscious drives this fear
I should face it, and erase it
But there’s something deeper here
Anxiety
Of Dying
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking this
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking this
Remind myself I’m okay
I create my reality
I’m in control, tell myself:
“You’ll be just fine”
Then focus breathing
Grounding
This very moment’s all there is
Just be present, consciousness
Future’s not here, past is gone
Death ain’t scary ‘cause I found I am
Eternity
Unending
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking this
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking this
Could it be?
I’m not me?
Ego veils reality
Could it be?
I’m not me?
Ego veils reality
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking
Oh I’m overthinking this
I’m oh-overthinking
Oh, I’m overthinking this
Stop overthinking
I’m overthinking this
Gotta get out, outta my head
Gotta find peace
I’m overthinking this
