Lyric Visuals by Rory Maclean
“Warning Signs” is about recognizing emotional burnout before it becomes impossible to ignore. The song captures the feeling of drifting through life on autopilot, missing the signals that something is wrong while anxiety builds beneath the surface. It reflects the tension between appearing okay on the outside and quietly unraveling inside, where exhaustion, numbness, and overthinking collide.
The repeated plea for “warning signs” represents a desire for clarity, connection, and intervention—whether from others or from within—before everything falls apart. Ultimately, the song gives voice to the struggle of asking for help while still trying to hold it together.
Lyrics:
Counting moments, slipping through, im walking on a wire
The siren sound, the walls come down, can you help me see ?
Give me the warning signs.
Sick of feeling like I want it to be over, anxiety is kicking in
Sick of fighting off my insides, every piece is caving in.
The light in me is fading out, still trying to keep a smile
I’m numb to feeling anything
I hate what I’ve become
I laid it all out on the line, if only you could see that cuts me open every time.
I’m still waiting for the sound of silence, some peace and quiet
Give me the warning signs
Clock’s ticking and it never ends
I’ve held this weight for so long
My body’s here, my mind’s numb
There’s nowhere left to run.
The light in me is fading out, still trying to keep a smile
I’m numb to feeling anything, I hate what I’ve become
Counting moments, slipping through, im walking on a wire
The siren sounds, the walls are down, can you help me see ?
Give me the warning signs.
