I'm Scared
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I haven't touched since you left me
The closed blinds in my home
See no light of day
Dust gathers on my stereo
'Cause I can't bare to hear the radio
The piano sits in a shaded space
With a picture of your face
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant, you were gone
I'm scared
Coffee stains on your favourite book
Remind me of you, so I can't take a look
The magazines you left on the floor
You won't need them anymore
A towel left hanging on the wall
No sign of wet footsteps in the hall
There's no smell of your sweet cologne
I'm lying here alone
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant, you were gone
And now I'm scared
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant, you were gone
Now I'm scared
In an instant, you were gone
I'm scared
In "I'm Scared", Duffy sings about the fear and sadness she feels after a breakup. She uses the physical objects left behind by her ex-lover to illustrate the emptiness and loneliness she feels. The blank pages of her diary highlight the lack of progress she has made since the breakup. The closed blinds in her home represent the isolation she has imposed upon herself as she struggles to come to terms with her new reality. The dust gathering on her stereo and the piano sitting in a shaded space emphasize the lack of joy she is experiencing, as listening to music and playing the piano were once activities that brought her pleasure. The picture of her ex-lover's face that sits on the piano further emphasizes how they have consumed her thoughts.
The lyrics in the chorus reflect Duffy's fear of facing the future alone. She acknowledges that the fear is consuming her and she cannot ignore it. The coffee stains on her ex-lover's favorite book act as a trigger to remind her of the pain she feels. The magazines on the floor represent the carelessness that her ex-lover had before leaving, a thought that further comforts Duffy as she sees how little he cares. The towel left hanging on the wall indicates the lack of physical presence of her ex-lover, and the absence of the smell of his cologne symbolizes the lack of his presence in her life.
Overall, "I'm Scared" is an emotive song that perfectly captures the fear and pain of heartbreak. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the physical remnants of a relationship can evoke powerful emotions and memories that are hard to ignore.

"The blank pages of my diary,
That I haven't touched since you left me,
The closed blinds in my home,
See no light or day"
These words strike me in the heart. They are so true. I have lost one, or rather two people in my life, who I will never get back to. And I'm afraid of never finding again in life that joy that I had when they were with me. because it is a joy that only they could give me.
