I personally struggle with anxiety and I go into states of depression from time to time. Relationships are a big trigger for me. My last relationship was the worst, now that I have gotten over it I came to realize that my last boyfriend was emotionally abusive. Similar to this song, “Car Radio,” my car radio was stolen, my happiness was taken from me. At my worst I find it hard to fall asleep.

One of my favorite songs "Step" by Vampire Weekend has great meaning to it. The song is about moving along in life, stepping forward into it and continuing on because you can't go back. My favorite lyric in the song, "Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth, age is an honor - it's still not the truth" significes someone againg; becoming wiser and experienced. But they would instead give up what they've learned in order to be young again. It also mentions no guarentee of becoming wiser just because they're againg.
