Panic Song

Green Day Released 2026

Song Meaning

The sounds of aggravation, panic, paranoia and worry pour from this song the second it starts. It gets under your skin before the words even begin, a minute and half of music to get you into the mindset for the song; dark music to match dark words. The lyrics talks of a "sick machine/breeding a mass of shit" and the confusion he feels to go alongside of that.

Lyrics

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate
I wanna drop out (x4)
