Fear
Claire Voyant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you become the odds
Educated in words around the starless nights
You write and you are speaking to me
Like every word you say can break apart
Something real it is handed down
The father is educated in life
Through all the brilliant tarts you like
And you have sewn needily
I can't make any sound
I breathe...

its the fear that is in you
That brings the fear out in me
Its the ghost unaware of where you might be

its the feeling in you
That brings the fear out in me
Its a ghost I won't wake up
The next time I breathe

Moving forward on
I will educate you in lines around
I will break apart stars you like
Your soul speaks to me in tones
I have never heard
This is overly sweet
I read and plead

its the fear that is in you
That brings the fear out in me
Its ghost unaware of where you might be

its the feeling in you
That brings the fear out in me




Its a ghost I won't wake up
The next time I breathe

Overall Meaning

In Claire Voyant's song "Fear," the lyrics reflect feelings of fear, uncertainty, and the unknown that come with interacting with people and relationships. The first stanza begins with a comparison of two people who are "educated" in different ways- one in words and the other in life experience. Despite their differences, the singer is drawn to the other person's words, which have the power to break apart something "real." The following line reveals a paternal figure who is also educated in life, but through experience with "brilliant tarts" that the other person likes. The singer is unable to respond, feeling stuck in their feelings and unable to make any sound.


The chorus repeats the phrase "its the fear that is in you that brings the fear out in me," suggesting a cycle of fear that perpetuates within the relationships the singer and other person have. The use of the word "ghost" suggests a haunting sort of presence, something that is unknown and lurking in the background, adding to the overall feeling of fear.


The second stanza has the singer taking control, saying they will "educate" the other person in "lines around" and "break apart stars" they like. The use of "break apart stars" could be interpreted as dismantling the other person's ideas or preferences in order to understand them better. The last two lines describe the other person's soul speaking in tones the singer has never heard before, suggesting a deeper level of understanding and connection. The stanza ends with the singer pleading, which could be interpreted as a desire for the other person to reciprocate the level of vulnerability and openness the singer is displaying.


Overall, "Fear" is a complex look at the nuances of relationships and the role fear plays in them.
