I Don
Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And haunt me in my dreams
I don't need this anymore
The things you've done to me
Let's keep them in the past
[Chorus]
I don't (I said I don't)
Yea, yea, yea
Some say I'm crazy
Some say I was a fool
I don't need this anymore
The way you used me
Nothing but your tool
[Chorus]
I've always listened
And it's always about you
I don't need this anymore
The door is open
And it's time for you to finally leave
I don't (we don't, I said)
I don't need this anymore
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
The lyrics to Fear's song "I Don't" describe a protagonist who has freed themselves from a toxic relationship and is confidently declaring that they no longer need their former partner in their life. The first verse describes how the ex-partner continues to haunt the singer in their dreams, even though the relationship is over. The second verse suggests that some people may view the singer as foolish for being involved with their ex-partner in the first place, but the singer is clear that they no longer need this person in their life. The final verse emphasizes that the singer has always prioritized their ex-partner's needs and now that the relationship is over, it's finally time for the ex-partner to leave and for the singer to move on.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of self-assuredness and empowerment that comes from breaking free of a harmful relationship. The repetitive chorus of "I don't need this anymore" reinforces the singer's desire to move on and encourages listeners to do the same in their own lives.

Lyrics
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)

The last part of the song is my favorite, just sends chills/sounds a little dark but is actually beautiful, and I love how it rhymes and just is all around bad as*
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are), c'mon baby, don't fear the reaper"
