Nothing to Fear
Left Spine Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wasting your words wasting my time
Eyes shut mouth wide open
Another victim to your perfect crime
Greed's a lifetime's only token
These unclean thoughts may not survive
Oh how I can't resist
This master plan to self-implode
Come down with me into my world
And once you're here you will see
There's nothing to fear
Come down with me only the free will conquer Hell and we will see
There's nothing to fear
No more cries of desperation
No room for tears in the digital age
No more guilt no more salvation
Just the glow of the 10 inch screen
Rite of passage or a crime of passion
Can't tell the difference anymore
I play the game by my own rules
Today your mind tomorrow the world
Come down with me into my world
And once you're here you will see
There's nothing to fear
Come down with me only the free will conquer Hell and we will see
There's nothing to fear
Come down with me into my world
And once you're here you will see
There's nothing to fear
Come down with me only the free will conquer Hell and we will see
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear

The song "Nothing to Fear" by Left Spine Down delves into themes of corruption, greed, and the allure of self-destruction. The opening lines address the dangers of corruption, with the singer standing on the edge of it and acknowledging the futility of engaging with those who waste their words and time. The line "Eyes shut mouth wide open" suggests blind adherence to authority, while "Another victim to your perfect crime" refers to the way in which corrupt individuals often manipulate their victims into participating in their schemes. The second verse suggests that technology and the digital age have created a world in which guilt and salvation are irrelevant and the only thing that matters is the glow of a screen.
The chorus then invites the listener to "come down with me into my world" where "the free will conquer Hell." This refrain can be read in a few different ways: as an invitation to embrace the singer's nihilistic worldview, a rallying cry for freedom from the constraints of society, or even a sarcastic comment on the way in which people use the internet to create echo chambers and reinforce their own biases. The final line, "there's nothing to fear," is both an affirmation and a warning - there may be nothing to fear in the short term, but the choices we make could have long-lasting consequences.
Overall, "Nothing to Fear" is a dark and thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which power and technology can be used to manipulate and exploit individuals. The song seems to be asking us to question our own complicity in systems of oppression and to consider the consequences of our actions.
