[goes to bed and sleeps for a long time]
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
no i just
need to talk about this
i shouldn’t need to but okay.
When I bought Switchfoot’s album, “Hello Hurricane,” four years ago, I thought the song, “Red Eyes,” was about anger. I interpret alot of things as literal, and I didn’t take the time to look up the lyrics.
I just now figured out that Red Eyes is about anxiety. About a guy who doesn’t sleep. About a guy who has anxiety, and he barely holds on. About a guy who cries alot. About a guy who is trying to find his purpose.
It hit me, hard, because it reminds me of me. The lullaby-like intro and ending remind me of who I used to be.
