I'm So Scared
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

does anybody feel the same?
can anybody see or feel my pain?
i had to get away, don't tell me
how dumb and irresponsible i became
i don't want to be resentful
with things i didn't do

it's getting late out
it's getting cold
take me anywhere
i'm so alone
i couldn't do what i was told
don't hold my hand
i can make it on my own

my mother told me not to curse
from what i did, that wasn't the worst
someones always watching my every move
like there's something i've always gotta prove
well I'm young, does that make me stupid? (oh)
can you hear me now?

it's getting late out
it's getting cold
take me anywhere
i'm so alone
i couldn't do what i was told
don't hold my hand
i can make it on my own

i'm tired but i'm waiting for an answer
can someone show me where i belong
cannot rest until i get what i need
i've never been religious but i wanted to believe

it's getting late out
it's getting cold
take me anywhere
i'm so alone
i couldn't do what i was told




don't hold my hand
i can make it on my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Evan's song "I'm So Scared" express feelings of isolation and the desire for independence while also acknowledging a need for guidance and belonging. The opening lines "does anybody feel the same? can anybody see or feel my pain?" convey a sense of alienation that the singer feels, as though they are the only one experiencing their pain. The line "i had to get away, don't tell me how dumb and irresponsible i became" suggests that the singer may have made a decision that others in their life may not agree with, but that they felt they had no choice but to take that action. This could be interpreted as a desire for autonomy despite potentially negative consequences.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "it's getting late out, it's getting cold, take me anywhere, i'm so alone". This repetition emphasizes the singer's sense of desperation and desire for connection. The line "don't hold my hand, i can make it on my own" could be interpreted as a desire to prove oneself capable and independent, even if it means remaining isolated.


The second verse introduces the singer's mother and their disapproval of the singer's behavior. The line "someone's always watching my every move, like there's something i've always gotta prove" highlights the pressure the singer feels to live up to expectations placed on them by others. The later line "well i'm young, does that make me stupid?" suggests a frustration with being judged solely based on age, and a desire for others to see beyond that.


Overall, the lyrics to "I'm So Scared" express complex emotions around autonomy, connection, and pressure, ultimately emphasizing the importance of feeling understood and belonging.
