    The song "Basket Case" by Green Day is about feeling paranoid and like one is cracking up mentally. The lyrics describe the singer feeling melodramatic and neurotic, and that sometimes their mind plays tricks on them. They went to a therapist and sex worker to analyze their dreams and issues, but were told their complaining was bringing others down. The chorus reiterates these feelings of paranoia and mental instability.
