The Story Behind ‘Power of Panic’
At the outset, Elohim envisioned Power of Panic as a celebration of transforming anxiety into strength. The album, introduced by singles “Can’t Remember Your Name,” “Tiny Human,” and “Didn’t Sign Up For This,” was set to coincide with a headline tour, marking a significant milestone in her career. However, as she faced her old adversaries—anxiety, dissociation, and panic disorder—her journey took a difficult turn.
Elohim’s reliance on Benzodiazepines to manage her anxiety led to dependence, forcing her to cancel her tour and confront her challenges head-on. The album, nearly complete, was a beacon of hope she could no longer see clearly. During her recovery, Elohim recognized that the power of panic is both destructive and transformative. This revelation reshaped the album’s message, grounding it in the gritty reality of her experiences rather than the triumphant vision she initially imagined.
In her own words, Elohim reflects, “The power of panic is very real, both in its destructive and transformative forms. This intense period forced me to face the raw, unfiltered truth of my message, not from the lofty place I had imagined, but from the gritty reality of my life.”
Despite the setbacks, Elohim dreams of a parallel world where she has overcome these battles and is back on stage performing for thousands. For now, Power of Panic is a testament to her resilience, existing without the stage lights but shining brightly through its authenticity and emotional depth.
