Brain Chemistry from Jade DelBen by Jade DelBen
This song is about social anxiety, which is something that I've often struggled with. It used to be a Talking Heads-like inversion of a typical love song, but I found that idea far less compelling, so I changed the song's focus.

Lyrics
These days I feel a little strange
Because my attitude has changed
Something is different, it's true
I don't know what it is, do you
I tell myself I'm still the same
To quell the growing sense of shame
Could I find its cause within my past
Or is that just too much to ask
I’m being torn apart
Brain chemistry
I wish I’d known it from the start
Brain chemistry
It's hard to not dissociate
Brain chemistry
When my thoughts can’t wait
Brain chemistry
Being here just makes me shiver
And I can’t control my hands’ quiver
I wish I knew what’s the trigger
Eyes are wide and my heart beats quicker
And it completely smothers me
Infected by some strange disease
What it is, I'd really like to know
Fuse is lit, someday I will explode
I’m being torn apart
Brain chemistry
I wish I’d known it from the start
Brain chemistry
It's hard to not dissociate
Brain chemistry
When my thoughts can’t wait
Brain chemistry
