A1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've walked the jungle fought a lion with bare hands
The Prince of Darkness
I'm a far better man!
I've crossed the desert never feared for my own
Where lightning strikes-I'll always go!
Eye of the tiger not afraid to attack
Left Frankenstein-flat on his back
That witches' magic just ain't nothing to see
'Cause you're the one who cast a spell onto me!!
If you're looking for danger, here I come!
You better look out it's just begun!
There's something that I want you to know!
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
I get the shivers down my spine feel my body turning blue!! (so blue!!)
The feeling is so frightening It's driving me insane
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
The terminator-said he'd never be back!
Fight fire with fire that's a natural fact!
Tell me your nightmare and I'll give you my dream (I'll give you my dream)
I will protect you-whenever you SCREAM!!
If you're looking for danger here I come!
You better look out it's just begun!
There's something that I want you to know!
(AagH!)
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
I get the shivers down my spine,
Feel my body turning blue!! (so blue!!)
The feeling is so frightening It's driving me insane
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
Because you're always there to let me know
Sometimes we all get scared
I'm telling you I can't let you go-oh!
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
I get the shivers down my spine feel my body turning blue!!
The feeling is so frightening It's driving me insane
The one thing that I'm scared of
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!
I get the shivers down my spine feel my body turning blue (so blue)
The feeling is so frightening It's driving me insane
The one thing that I'm scared of
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you (I can feel it in the air)
I get the shivers down my spine feel my body turning blue (and my fever's going down)
The feeling is so frightening It's driving me insane (there's a chill across the town)
The one thing that I'm scared of is losing hold of you!

The verses describe the singer's fearless nature, referencing various iconic characters and situations from horror and action movies. However, the chorus reveals that the one thing that truly scares him is the thought of losing his loved one. He expresses his deep emotional connection and dependence on his partner, painting a picture of how overwhelming the fear of losing them can be.
The lyrics of "Scared" are a reminder that even the bravest and strongest of people can have their weaknesses and fears.
