Fear
Jürgen Jansen/Peter Spilles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If aggression is the result of fear
Then fear is the fear of aggression
So if you are afraid of an aggressor
You are afraid of a person which is afraid of you
A person ruled by its fears
And why should you be afraid of someone
Who is behaving like a small child in the darkness?
Break the circle we are living in
And don't be afraid, there's nothing to fear
The song "Fear" by Jürgen Jansen/Peter Spilles is an insightful exploration of the human emotion of fear. The lyrics suggest that there is nothing to fear if we understand the root cause of aggression, which is fear itself. The song goes on to explain that if we are afraid of an aggressor, we are essentially afraid of a person who is ruled by their own fears.
Furthermore, the song draws a comparison between an aggressor and a small child in the darkness. The image of a small child in the darkness is a metaphor for the vulnerability that lies at the root of aggression. Therefore, the song encourages us to break the circle of fear that we are living in and to realize that there is nothing to fear after all.

My heart just dropped to my stomach. I’m 64, when did we get old. I haven’t seen Bruce Springsteen in years, he looks a little fragile. Our minds tell us we are still 21 but our bodies say different.

Look at him go up the steps after falling, look at him put the guitar back on. He doesn’t move or act like he’s almost 75. Fragile?
