Song Meaning of “Panic Matter” by Dead When I Found Her
“Panic Matter” by Dead When I Found Her is a reflection on the anxieties and self-doubt that plague us in times of crisis. The singer speaks of how he is “waiting for one mistake to start a sense of restlessness,” and how he can “feel the loneliness cut in too deep.” He recognizes the need to find his strength during a time of panic, but he is too overwhelmed to do so.
The chorus talks of the fear of losing himself, how he can feel himself spiraling out of control and “falling in love with the fret.” It turns his entire world upside down, and how he is powerless to the chaos that surrounds him.
The song speaks to the human experience as we often feel powerless in the face of crisis and hopeless to find a way out. It is an ode to those who are able to find the courage and strength to carry on despite fear, as the singer ultimately finds his “way through the night out of the darkness.” In this way, the song reminds us that even in times of chaos and panic, our inner strength and resilience will show us the way.
