Fear of Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pull me back to the light of day
You like it close next to me
And I don't know what's gonna change my mind
But I try for me time
'Cause I am you
What DREAMS may come
Why life is what it is
What DREAMS may come
I'm afraid to hurt myself
One more time where I am at
Body and all things are just for pain
When at surface you sheltered me
But in time I love it
'Cause I am you
'Cause I am you
What DREAMS may come
Why life is what it is
What DREAMS may come
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your
I don't know what to say
I can't hide what I don't regret
Spending off my ride next to you
And when the days go by
I decide that I know
You're a man of mine
'Cause I am you
'Cause I am you
What DREAMS may come
Why life is what it is
What DREAMS may come
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
That keeps me from your door
There is a sickness in our path
I don't want to know
"Descent" by Fear of Men is a song that delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics express feelings of being lost and falling into nothingness, but also finding solace in the person who pulls the singer back to the light of day. The relationship seems to be one of intense closeness, but also fraught with pain and hurt. The singer acknowledges being afraid to hurt themselves again, yet cannot resist the strong pull towards the other person.
The repeated line "What DREAMS may come" seems to convey a sense of unknown, of uncertainty about the future and what it may hold for this pair. The relationship is further complicated by what the singer describes as a "sickness in our path" that keeps them from being together. Despite this, the lyrics suggest a deep connection between the two, with the lines "I am you" repeated throughout the song.
Overall, "Descent" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the emotional complexities of a relationship that is both intensely close yet painful to endure.
Line by Line Meaning
I fall into nothingness
I feel lost and empty
You pull me back to the light of day
You rescue me from my despair and bring me hope
You like it close next to me
You enjoy being near me
And I don't know what's gonna change my mind
I'm uncertain about what will change my perspective
But I try for me time
I seek solitude to reflect on my thoughts and feelings
'Cause I am you
We are connected and similar to one another
What DREAMS may come
The unknown possibilities of life
Why life is what it is
The purpose and meaning of existence
I'm afraid to hurt myself
I fear causing myself emotional pain
One more time where I am at
Being in the same situation again
Body and all things are just for pain
Physical experiences are a source of suffering
When at surface you sheltered me
You protected me from harm on the surface
But in time I love it
But over time, I appreciate and enjoy it
There is a sickness in our path that keeps me from your door
An obstacle or problem is preventing me from being with you
I don't know what to say
I'm at a loss for words
I can't hide what I don't regret
I can't pretend to feel differently than I do
Spending off my ride next to you
I enjoy spending time with you
And when the days go by
As time passes
I decide that I know
I become more certain
You're a man of mine
I deeply care for and have feelings for you
There is a sickness in our path that keeps me from your door
An obstacle or problem is preventing me from being with you
I don't want to know
I would rather not confront the issue
