Fear
D.T.A.L. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hit the bottle drink again so I don't think about you
I can do all these drugs (But they won't work against you)
No, feeling cutthroat
Make me wanna choke
Don't know where to go
Hit the bottle drink again so I don't think about you
I can do all these drugs (But they won't work against you)
No, feeling cutthroat
Make me wanna choke
Don't know where to go
You think your better than me
I think we're very petty
Go roll one up then forget all the things you tell me
Life is a joke it fucks around and makes you think your crazy
I cannot stand all these voices but they're stronger than me
The sky turns grey my eyes are bright
Red eyes glowing, sleepless nights
I can't tell if your alright, just wanna go home tonight
Close off the tear in my brain
Exhausted from these brain waves
Hit the bottle drink again so I don't think about you
I can do all these drugs (But they won't work against you)
No, feeling cutthroat
Make me wanna choke
Don't know where to go
Hit the bottle drink again so I don't think about you
I can do all these drugs (But they won't work against you)
No, feeling cutthroat




Make me wanna choke
Don't know where to go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.T.A.L.'s song Fear seem to be a commentary on society's fear of the unknown and the impact it has on our actions and relationships. The first verse describes a charming and intimidating person, possibly a leader, who is able to manipulate and control others. However, the singer is not intimidated and is willing to take a stand against this person's power. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for standing up against those who seek to control and manipulate us, regardless of their perceived power or status.


The chorus poses the question of who is truly afraid, and why? The line "before we knew the Fear" suggests that fear is something that is learned, rather than inherent. The second verse then shifts to a more optimistic tone, celebrating the end of innocence and the birth of new generations. It's possible that the "fear" being referred to here is a fear of change, of growing up, or of facing the reality of the world.


The bridge then repeats the singer's defiance, stating that they will not be afraid of those who have been here before, and those who perpetuate the cycle of fear. Ultimately, the message of the song seems to be one of empowerment and overcoming the fear that holds us back.


Line by Line Meaning

He's charming everyone
He is easily winning the favor and approval of everyone around him


Shining like a sun
He is radiating a strong, bright presence that captures attention and admiration


The darkest moving star of all
Despite being a standout and a leader, he still carries a heaviness or darkness within him that others may not see


The Tallest Man On Earth
He is elevated in status and influence like a giant among men


Just asked me to go forth
He has challenged or encouraged me to step into a new experience or opportunity


And if you think I'll cringe, you're wrong
Contrary to expectations, I will not hesitate or show fear in the face of this challenge


And who is so afraid
What kind of person would be filled with such intense fear


Of getting caught or laid
Of being exposed for some wrongdoing or of having a sexual encounter


By those who have been here
By people who have been in this situation before


Before we knew the Fear?
Before we fully understood the consequences and risks involved


The greatest day has come
A momentous occasion has finally arrived


Our innocence is gone
We have lost our naivety and purity in some significant way


The children we have borne
The things we have created or produced now belong to someone else


Are yours
They are now in your possession and under your control


I'm waiting for your call
I am ready and willing to receive your communication


And standing here unharmed
I am not affected or damaged by any negative consequences or reactions


And I won't be afraid
I will not let fear hold me back or control my actions


Of getting caught or laid
Of being exposed or having a sexual encounter


By those who have been here
By people who are familiar with this situation


Before we knew the Fear
Before we fully grasped the magnitude and implications of our actions


So who is so afraid
Who could possibly be filled with such intense fear


Of getting caught or laid
Of being exposed or having a sexual encounter


By those who have been here
By people who are familiar with this situation


Before we knew what Fear was?
Before we fully understood the power and impact of fear in our lives
