Do consumer choices, toxic food, relentless advertising and poor communication contribute to anxiety? If we decided to acquire food, products and other items ethically, would anyone notice or care? Can we hold ourselves accountable? Those are the questions Abby London explores in her upcoming single release “Anxiety.” The song opens with the line “Maybe I have anxiety because I ruin other people and the planet.” It’s a forlorn ruminative question Abby London contemplates as she considers the affects her purchases have on the people who manufacture the products she buys, as well as the destructive path those items may take to get to her. Does the tension and stress of the creation and the journey transfer to her body and mind? Is that why pills seem needed to control dismay and dejection? This song is a poignant look at how our own choices contribute to our anxiety and depression what we choose to buy, what we choose to eat and how we choose to communicate. It’s honest about being lazy, inhumane, intermittently motivated and of having a lack of self-discipline. Some may think the song is about relying on rules and regulations when, in reality, it’s about changing oneself. Experience these introspective ponderings set to catchy electric sounds, soothing vocals and unexpected moments.

Maybe I have anxiety because I ruin other people and the planet Maybe it’s why I’m so upset why I always feel outside of my element Maybe I feel the butterfly effect of the people I affect by what I own I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying The products the chain is supplying I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying The products the chain is supplying I reach for the pills because my head has had too much Maybe I got depression because everything I eat is toxic Maybe I feel the pressure of the war that’s so far from where I call home Maybe I have depression because I buy everything that I am sold I wanna get up and quit watching TV I can’t press off on the remote I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying The products the chain is supplying I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying The products the chain is supplying I reach for the pills because my head has had too much I think it’s not that important I act like it doesn’t even matter There’s so much I don’t wanna feel responsible for I have the choice to ignore it I don’t have to explore it Ultimately it is out of my control Why should I even try I cannot change the world Maybe I have anxiety because I’m horrible at communication Maybe I should of said something instead of letting it all blow up Maybe I have a right to be just as upset as I really am Advertisers are so tricky they started targeting me before I was born They poison me with their diapers and powder and oil I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying The products the chain is supplying I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much I know that it’s wrong but I can’t help it However goods get to me I will put up with it I reach for the pills because my head has had too much Maybe I got anxiety because everything I love is plastic If there’s ever a fire everything I love would melt away
