Fear
Angeldust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I live in the past - I can't move on beyond the pain
I feel no release - I wanna' find my peace of mind
...(Can you forgive?)

[Chorus]
My fear, my fear (Ah, come on)
It's holding me stillborn (Ah, ah)
My fear, my fear (Come on, come on)
I'll never fear again
...Don't fear (Don't fear) (repeat x4)
...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain) (?- best guess)

You stole the innocence,
From a child to be no more
Blinded by the silence,
Afraid to ever speak a word
...(Can you forgive?)

[Chorus (alt)] (line 1 ends "(Come on, x2)")
...Don't fear (Don't fear) (repeat x3)
...(Ah, ah) Don't... Fear...
...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain)
...Fear ...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain)

[Bridge]
Thinking on the times of my demise,
And I wish it wasn't me they victimized
And I don't know - Really can't see,
How I really couldn't kill,
The mother fu*'r that violated me

[Chorus (alt)] / [Bridge (alt)]:
-(lines 2 & 5 ends "(Don't fear)")-

Thinking on the times of my demise ...(Don't you)
And I wish it wasn't me they victimized ...(Fear)
And I don't know - Really can't see,




How I really couldn't kill...
...*(I've run out of fear) (?- best guess)

This song is from the collaboration of Criss Angel and Klayton (Celldweller). Originally the collaboration project was called Angeldust. The name got lost somewhere in there, but Klayton was still credited.

I loved this ever since the days when it was new. I love how it blurs the lines of various genres of music. Always have heard a heavy 'Prince' influence in the vocals of this song :]
