Fear
I.N.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now, as always
Here, here, and here
I shouldn't even speak its name, it might come after me again
If I stay still, quiet, small
It might leave me alone
I doubt it
It has never left me alone before
No chance
It is ready to attack or slither around me
And squeeze me to nothing
It's slithering up my legs, around my waist
Up to my heart, my lungs, my mouth
My Eyes
Brain
My mind
I can't do this
I cannot lose my mind
I am losing control, I have no agency
My logic and faculties, are slipping away
I cannot call for help, I am paralyzed
Stultified
I cannot fight this, It wins every time
It is in my breath and blood, In my eyes
Demanding silence when I need to set boundaries
And rage when I am vulnerable
Violence when I am reliving trauma
And disappearance when things get too difficult
Desires get burned in a landfill of unworthiness
Dreams sink into oceans of self sabotage
And love
Love is destroyed for the terror
That it may be taken away
All hope bet and lost on uncertainty, injury to others
Graveyards full of broken promises
Hope hangs limp from nooses in dimly lit rooms
Across the planet
As the Boa constrictor of fear
Wraps us all in its ice cold, reptilian embrace
One at a time, unless we choose not to succumb
And it is a choice
Ultimately the only one that matters
Do I choose fear or its opposite
Love
The lyrics of I.N.C.'s song Fear are a powerful commentary on the debilitating effects of fear on the human mind and psyche. The song describes fear as a slithering, suffocating force that enslaves the individual and renders them powerless, destroying relationships and dreams, and suffocating hope. The song's opening line, "It's here, now, as always", emphasizes the all-pervasive nature of fear, which is always lurking in the background, ready to pounce on the slightest provocation. The artist then highlights the irony that speaking the name of fear itself can evoke its presence and cause it to attack.
The artist goes on to describe the physical and emotional toll that fear takes on the body and mind, with fear coiling around the individual's legs, waist, and heart, and invading their thoughts, emotions, and logic. The artist describes feeling paralyzed and powerless, unable to fight the fear, and feeling like they are losing their mind. The fear becomes all-consuming and engulfs everything, from desires and dreams to relationships and promises. The artist concludes by recognizing that ultimately, the choice between fear and love is the only one that matters.
In conclusion, the lyrics of I.N.C.'s song Fear offer a poignant and powerful reflection on the damaging effects of fear on the human condition. From the physical manifestations of fear to its impact on relationships and dreams, the song highlights the corrosive nature of fear and the importance of choosing love over fear.

As the Boa constrictor of fear
Fear is like a snake that tightens its grip
Wraps us all in its ice cold, reptilian embrace
Fear makes people feel cold and unfeeling
One at a time, unless we choose not to succumb
Fear affects people one by one and it's up to them to fight against it
And it is a choice
Overcoming fear is a choice
Ultimately the only one that matters
The choice to fight against fear is the only one that matters
Do I choose fear or its opposite
It's either choosing fear or choosing the opposite of fear, which is love
Love
The opposite of fear
