Eurythmics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When our day begins
And it feels like cold cold steel
And when the sun comes up
It's like a new commotion
You say nobody told you
It would feel like this
You've got the killing gun
Held in your hand
It feels like cold cold steel
And when the sun comes up
It's like a new commotion
You say shoot shoot shoot it up
Shoot it up
The lyrics to Eurythmics's song "No Fear" deal with the feelings of hopelessness and desperation that often accompany the start of a new day. The opening lines describe how it can feel like "cold cold steel" when the morning arrives, suggesting a sense of isolation and barrenness. However, despite this bleak tone, the song offers a message of resilience and strength in the face of these challenges.
The song's chorus, which repeats the line "No fear no hate no pain no broken hearts," offers a mantra of sorts for overcoming adversity. By reminding listeners that fear, hate, pain, and heartbreak are all surmountable obstacles, it encourages them to face their problems head-on and not be overwhelmed by negativity.
The final verse of the song brings in a more violent imagery, with references to a "killing gun" and the command to "shoot it up." While this could be interpreted as a call to take violent action, it can also be read as a metaphorical expression of the need to assert oneself and take control of one's life.
Overall, "No Fear" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience in the face of adversity, with lyrics that both acknowledge the realities of pain and hardship while also offering a message of hope.

Well in the morning
At the start of each day
When our day begins
As we commence our daily routine
And it feels like cold cold steel
When life seems harsh and unyielding
And when the sun comes up
As time passes
It's like a new commotion
A fresh set of challenges
You say nobody told you
Expressing surprise at what's expected
It would feel like this
This would be the reality
No fear no hate no pain no broken hearts
Describing a state of emotional purity
You've got the killing gun
Having a deadly weapon
Held in your hand
In your possession
And when the sun comes up
As time marches on
It's like a new commotion
Fresh challenges arise
You say shoot shoot shoot it up
Encouraging oneself to take action
Shoot it up
Go for broke
