Fear
Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sat down, made itself at home
It called your name the whole night through
Until it got the best of you
It's wide awake and never rests
Follows each one of your steps
And it hits you hard with ruthless fists
Can I kill it with a kiss?
I wish I could blow it off
Find a way to shut its hungry mouth
Change the locks and chase it out
I'll shield you 'til it disappears
All my love against your fear
It won't let you get away
It teases you with whispered words
Holds you in a cold embrace
I set the table, cooked for two
But it walked through the door with you
It eats from your plate, it rules the room
It's pouring poison on your spoon
I wish I could blow it off
Find a way to shut its hungry mouth
Change the locks and chase it out
I'll shield you 'til it disappears
All my love against your fear
We'll find a way to shut its hungry mouth
Change the locks and chase it out
I'll shield you 'til it disappears
It's wide awake
It's wide awake
I'll keep watch until you sleep
I'll stay up until it leaves
It left too soon
Thought it had won
But my love will roar
Your fear will run
We'll watch it run
We'll change the locks and chase it out
I'll shield you 'til it disappears
All my love against your fear
We'll find a way to shut its hungry mouth
Chase it down the street and out of town
I'll shield you 'til it disappears
All my love against your fear
The lyrics of Boy's song Fear express the emotions and feelings of the singer who has a loved one struggling with an unidentifiable fear. The first verse sets up the premise of the song, describing the fear that has taken a hold of the person's loved one, and how it follows and traps them every step they take. The singer wonders if they can help their loved one by "killing it with a kiss". In the second verse, the singer wishes that they could find a way to rid their loved one of this fear, "change the locks and chase it out". They vow to use their love to protect their loved one and to shield them until the fear disappears.
The chorus, "all my love against your fear", shows the singer's determination to combat this unknown force with their love. They won't let it tear their loved one away from them, and they want to find a way to drive it out. The bridge describes the fear as a parasite, identifying that it speaks softly to the person it has captured and that it has taken up a permanent residence until the singer intervenes to kick it out for good. Finally, the ending of the song expresses the singer's hope as they watch their loved one's fear run away for good.
