Fear
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then leaves the rest to me
It started with a flash of light
Off his grip was loose and just a bit
There's a constant slip out of the positive
And you waste more perfect time than you tend to give
[Chorus]
All the fear and all the cares of the world
Never forced themselves into my arms
It was your fear that helped me
Your fear that got me to move
Straight from your heart into their sight
Grace and hope
I share along the way
It ended with a twist of fate
And now the hearts are breaking just a bit
And the consequence was a negative
So you killed more precious lives then you had let live
All the fear and all the cares of the world
Never forced themselves into my arms
It was your fear that helped me
Your fear that got me to move
Straight from your heart into their sight
For shame on you
Who cares about me anyway
I don't mind you
It would mean so much if you would just save me
Save me
All the fear and all the cares of the world
Never forced themselves into my arms
It was your fear that helped me
Your fear that got me to move
Straight from your heart into their sight
The lyrics of "Fear" by Evans Blue reveal a complicated story that speaks of guilt, fear, consequences, and hope. The opening lines suggest that the singer is feeling guilty and that guilt reflects on him while leaving the rest to someone else. The second line describes a sudden event that began with a flash of light and resulted in someone's grip becoming loose. This vague language seems to suggest an accident, but the exact details are unclear. The lines that follow suggest that things are going wrong and that there is a constant slip away from positivity. The singer then laments that there is a waste of perfect time, and it seems that something wrong has happened that could have been prevented.
The Chorus of the song shifts focus to the fear and cares of the world. Here, the singer suggests that these fears and cares never forced themselves into his arms, and it was someone else's fear that got him to move. But it is not clear who the singer is addressing, and the situation they are in remains unspecified. The next verse speaks of grace and hope, but it ends with a twist of fate that led to someone's heart breaking a bit. The phrase 'twist of fate' represents destiny playing its role in bringing about the consequences of someone's actions. The song closes with the singer appealing to someone to save him despite not caring about him.
Overall, the song's lyrics seem to be about someone who is forced to move due to someone else's fear, leading to a negative consequence that has left many hearts broken. It is about the weight of guilt, fear, and the importance of actions in relation to their consequences.
