Panic Attack is the fifth track off of Dream Theater's eighth studio album, Octavarium.
A heavy song, written (unsurprisingly) about a panic attack. The lyrics are reprised in Intervals in the title track. The song is written in the key of C minor, to tie in with the concept of Octavarium. The interlude between this song and Never Enough is written in C#.
Lyrics
All wound up On the edge Terrified Sleep disturbed Restless mind Petrified Bouts of fear Permeate All I see Heightening Nervousness Threatens me I am paralyzed So afraid to die Caught off guard Warning signs Never show Tension strikes Choking me Worries grow Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest Agitated body in distress I feel like I'm in danger Daily life is strangled by my stress A stifling surge Shooting through all my veins Extreme apprehension Suddenly I'm insane Lost all hope for redemption A grave situation desperate at best Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly reeling Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
