Don't be Afraid
Love / Hate Lyrics

There's something scary about a stranger in the dark
It is natural to be afraid of a stranger in the dark. There is a possibility that they might harm you.

Maybe he'll kill you, Maybe she'll slit your throat in ecstasy, Maybe
There is a possibility that the stranger might kill you or harm you in some way.

Noises in your closet, Voices in your head, Maybe you should check, Underneath your bed
If you hear any strange noises or voices, you might want to check your surroundings, especially under your bed, to make sure you are safe.

Better call a doctor, Better call a priest, Better call your loved ones
If you ever feel threatened or in danger, it is better to seek help from professionals and your loved ones to protect yourself.

Don't be afraid, Don't be afraid
Fear is a natural response, but it's essential not to let it overwhelm us. Don't be afraid to take action and protect yourself.

Sharp knife, Cutter, White skin, Tied and bound, And when they cut you you won't make a sound
The imagery describes a scene of someone that is being tied up and cut, but they are too afraid to scream or resist. The message is to remind us that we should stand up for our own safety, and not let fear control us.

Blindfold, Somebody's purring, Strawberry flavored incense is burning, Quicksand's to your neck you say goodbye
This is another scary imagery of being blindfolded, trapped, and surrounded by strange scents. It represents the suffocating feeling of being caught, beaten, and helpless. The line is again urging the listener not to be afraid but to fight back to protect oneself.

Horseflies, Busy, Nibble on your flesh in the sun, Toilet paper wrapped around you till you're a mummy
Horseflies represent people who harm others without care or remorse. The lyrics describe how they can stick onto someone and slowly chew away their flesh, while the victim remains still wrapped like a mummy. The line reflects that sometimes, people around us might be harmful, but it is essential to break free from their hold and protect ourselves.

Wrapped in shit paper teacher, Whatever happened to eternity, Empty ketchup bottles keep you company
The last line describes a person wrapped in toilet paper in disgust and despair, held back by their environment and the people around them. The message is that no matter how stuck one may feel, it's important to remember that their loved ones are just a phone call away, and help is always available if they reach out.
