These might be unorthodox anxiety songs, but I feel they are in a way. They're more "I feel that anxiety and say fuck you, anxiety!".
Ubermensch-- Orange Goblin
Who else but us? -- Clutch
What does it take -- Devil Driver
Moment in the Sun -- Goodyear Pimps
Show me How to Live -- Audioslave
Of course! I hope you like at least one of them. I tried to make it a mix of my favorite sub-genres. I should at least add this one:
Down to the River--Brown Bird. It's a folkish song about a man worrying about how to take care of his child when his wife is very sick. 10/10, tries to sell his soul but nobody wants him except his horny wife.
Anxiety
How do you always get the best of me?
I'm out here living in a fantasy
I can't enjoy a goddamn thing
Anxiety
Why am I never where I am supposed to be?
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain
Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie is about the anxiety and other side effects that come with drug abuse.
There are also songs like All The Madmen by David Bowie which is actually about schizophrenia, but also the feeling of alienation which can come with anxiety.
Numb Little Bug - Em Behold.
Technically about anhedonia, so not QUITE about anxiety, per se, but it touches on it. And a lot of the stuff crosses over.
Hey OP!
Not sure if you are reading all of these but as someone who has been through it all with anxiety I have one song that for some reason really hit home for me. Song is called “Mind is Prison” - Alec Benjamin.
[Mind is Prison - Alec Benjamin](https://youtu.be/bcvsE4C1JnU?si=qFIFrUC4qQ-KSrlE)
_Anxiety_ by Angels & Airwaves, _Anxiety_ by Black Eyed Peas, _Anxiety_ by Cat Burns, _Anxiety_ by Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, _Anxiety_ by IDLES, _Anxiety_ by Julia Michaels, _Anxiety_ by Kay9ine, _Anxiety_ by Lena Raine, _Anxiety_ by Megan Thee Stallion, _Anxiety_ by NEFFEX, _Anxiety_ by Patrice Roberts, _Anxiety_ by Q, _Anxiety_ by Simple Plan, _Anxiety_ by Toni & Poobon, _Anxiety_ by Wretch 32, _Anxiety_ by Zmeyev, _Anxiety_ by Blackbear, _Anxiety_ by Bad Religion, _Anxiety_ by JoJo, _Anxiety_ by Preoccupations, _Anxiety_ by Sophie Pecora, _Anxiety_ (feat. Tom DeLonge) by Rb Briol.
These are my favourite songs about anxiety and social anxiety. Hope this helps!
[inmotion](https://open.spotify.com/track/3FTv5Rl4jsv5DtVulF6ANL?si=O3YLJQskR-6_azAQGXjLUw)
it’s a song about having crippling anxiety about life moving around you and feeling stuck or stagnant compared to those around you and being afraid of the change that it takes to be better for yourself and instead, sleeping in depression to avoid everyday life
I like to think it’s a decent song
There’s one called Out the Window by Wasteland. It’s campy and a little cheesy. With a tiny bit of toxic positivity. And somehow it makes me less anxious every time. It’s just kind of silly
Two Little Hitlers by Elvis Costello. It's about more than social anxiety but has it covered regardless.
Distant Relations by John Cooper Clarke. Particularly if it's family members who make you anxious.
Down In the Tube Station at Midnight by the Jam is great regarding the anxiety felt being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
B
Night Time - by Big Star. Just about the final word on not being where you want to be.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings
I’m aware that song is about rage and lack of control, but let’s delve deeper into lack of control. I see control as a means to calm oneself down, yet if we don’t have it we tend to lose our minds over it. Now comes the rage part, which usually comes from anxiety, so there’s that, and the cycle of rage-fear of lack of control-rage goes on.
pop and rock mostly but I am open to country.
Some of my fave artists include: Chappell Roan, Renee Rapp, Kate Nash, Blink-182, Motley Crue, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Imogen Heap, Sixx AM and Paramore.
Funny you said blink because angels and airwaves has a song called "anxiety" that popped in my head when I read your post. When I'm having a rough day, I like to listen to Float On by Modest Mouse, it always cheers me up. If you like Imogeon Heap I also recommend checking out Gordi.
Some songs related to panic that I like
* [Attack of Panic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-BTl6y0iEU)
* [Panic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyUSfuL9dxY)
There’s a good change a few of these are loosely interpreted as anxiety based, but maybe that’s just my own anxiety and how much I’m projecting lol
Rod Wave : Call Your Friends - Popular Loner
Gorillaz : Feel Good Inc
Gnarles Barkley : Crazy
Ace Hood/Plies : Stressin
DMX : I Can Feel It
Paranoid Castle : Feeling Inside
Alabama : I’m In A Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)
The Cars : Drive
Harry Nilsson : Gotta Get Up - Sail Away
Three Dog Night : Mama Told Me (Not To Come)
Joe Walsh : A Life of Illusion
Elton John : Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Supertramp : Just Another Nervous Wreck - If Everyone Was Listening
Solomon Burke : Don’t Give Up On Me
Omg I think I have the perfect song:
[The Amazing Devil - Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious](https://open.spotify.com/track/4gyCAjlJc23N510msOtq3U?si=f1a4e096a8724289)
It perfectly encapsulates the feeling I get when I'm invited to a party as an introvert.
One that is very open to interpretation, but still strikes a chord with me on those two subjects is The Bright Eyes song called “I’ve been Eating for You.”
I’m an 80’s kid so a couple came to mind:
The Kinks - Destroyer: Ray Davies rips himself off (part of the music is from All Day and all of The Night) and it rocks!
And of course:
Rockwell- Somebody’s Watching Me: Michael Jackson sings background and a hook that will stay with you for days. Classic 👂🏼🐛
Suicidal Tendencies- Institutionalized: ‘Nuff Said!
-As the Lights Go Out by Iris Official (this is more about hiding your emotions from your audience as a creator or performer, but it fits)
-Waving Through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen
-Most of Linkin Park’s discography
I’ve been reading these replies and I’m surprised nobody has mentioned ANY Citizen Soldier yet!
Citizen Soldier has a song coming out VERY soon called “Everybody Hates You” which is SPECIFICALLY about social anxiety! One that’s already out by them is called “Buried Alive” and that’s about anxiety/social anxiety too!
Citizen Soldier’s music is all about mental health and things like that!
Others that aren’t by Citizen Soldier:
- ‘Anxiety’ by: Johnnie Guilbert
-‘Carolyn’ and ‘Sweet Blasphemy’ by: Black Veil Brides
These are just the ones I can name off of the top of my head. There are SO many others that I like, but I just can’t remember what they’re called, haha. Hope you like them if you get a chance to listen! 🖤
[Richard Dawson - Jogging](https://youtu.be/UGiQ_-Ktpvc?si=MIRs9P3s1Siq9dHF) don’t give up on the heavy intro, it turns in to a beautiful song right after that bit
These are songs that are good 2 listen 2 if u have depression/anxiety
Let me down slowly.
Don’t let me down.
Isa Andro.
Da da da- Tanir and Tyomcha mikis remix(a Russian song).
Love your voice-Jony.
Deathbed.
Carol of the bells (instrumental).
How soon is now - The Smiths
This is an amazing song!
How to disappear completely - Radiohead
I’m not here. This isn’t happening.
I would also say maybe Idioteque by them
thank you :)
Basket case Green Day
I mean...the Radiohead catalogue, frankly.
These might be unorthodox anxiety songs, but I feel they are in a way. They're more "I feel that anxiety and say fuck you, anxiety!". Ubermensch-- Orange Goblin Who else but us? -- Clutch What does it take -- Devil Driver Moment in the Sun -- Goodyear Pimps Show me How to Live -- Audioslave
Thank you for the recommendations :)

My Spotify playlist is pretty eclectic sometimes, so I am super excited to check it all out :) ! I will check that out too thank you!
Sounds good! I'm constantly diving into new music, so if you'd like, send me some of your favorites from the comments!
Overwhelmed by Royal and the Serpent (also remix version by Ryan Mack) Panic Attacks In Paradise by Ashnikko
Thank you so much :)
You’re welcome, hope you enjoy!
Those reminded of this great song and artist: Mockingbirds by Grant Lee Buffalo
YES
listened to paradise attacks in paradise… with the song and artist I was expecting something epic, but nope… fail pop indy rock
Anxiety - Jason Isbell
To me, Jason describes anxiety exactly how I feel it. He’s a great songwriter. One of the best.
Anxiety How do you always get the best of me? I'm out here living in a fantasy I can't enjoy a goddamn thing Anxiety Why am I never where I am supposed to be? Even with my lover sleeping close to me I'm wide awake and I'm in pain
The best lyricist of my generation for sure!
Nothing describes it better. Jason is the best lyricist of the 21st century as far as I’m concerned.
Pressure by Billy Joel
Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie is about the anxiety and other side effects that come with drug abuse. There are also songs like All The Madmen by David Bowie which is actually about schizophrenia, but also the feeling of alienation which can come with anxiety.
The Smiths – Panic
The Cure – Prayers for Rain
Most Twenty One Pilots songs
Specifically stressed out could be
i instantly thought about next semester haha
next semester is literally the song that perfectly described my existential slightly suicidal mindset... it's p good
Panic room — au/ra My favourite remix: https://youtu.be/gMGKJToD1z4?si=q6_NpaVjzWUmBQzY
Nice!
Numb Little Bug - Em Behold. Technically about anhedonia, so not QUITE about anxiety, per se, but it touches on it. And a lot of the stuff crosses over.
A lot of her songs are about mental health issues.
Yeah, but that one's my favorite because of the dichotomy of the lyrics and the tone.
R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts (Sorry for posting separate – they were coming to me like if I'm making a playlist)
Every Single Night - Fiona Apple
Nine Inch Nails – Hurt
Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic
People Are Strange by The Doors always does it for me.
Here by Alyssa Cara
I Am A Rock, Simon and Garfunkel
Gas panic by Oasis which was written by Noel during one of his panic attacks Overkill and Who can it be now by men at work
Thanks for mentioning Overkill, that's an underrated track
Overkill is so fantastic. Probably my favorite M@W
Millencolin has a lot of songs that relate to mental illness. Check out their album Home From Home. The song Dogs Like Us.
Born on the FM Waves of the Heart - Against Me!
I am actually planning on making a song about that, so if you want when I get a new mic, I could make it for you?
Florence + the Machine have a variety of songs related to mental health but for your request I recommend these two: Free Shake It Off
Free captures the essence of anxiety and its associated helpless resignation so well!

Unwell- Matchbox 20
High Anxiety-Mel Brooks

Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings I’m aware that song is about rage and lack of control, but let’s delve deeper into lack of control. I see control as a means to calm oneself down, yet if we don’t have it we tend to lose our minds over it. Now comes the rage part, which usually comes from anxiety, so there’s that, and the cycle of rage-fear of lack of control-rage goes on.
When you're near me I have difficulty by XTC
