Fear
Mindfeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come into my world
Won't you sit yourself inside, what's mine is yours
All you ever need
But I can see no reason why you should
Come with me my friend to the waters edge
Stay a little while
As you walk again into freedom
Then I'll be there as you fear

Fear, fear the hate, fear the pain
Fear the one thing you can't change
My life, my mind, couldn't escape me if you tried
Enter today, why don't you stay
Come with me don't run away
From the hate, from the pain
Be all that you should be

Look into my eyes
You may find a feeling from within
Visions so unkind
Re-define seduction laced with sin
Come with my friend to the waters edge
Play a little while
Walk once again into freedom
All I'll be there as you…

Fear, fear the hate, fear the pain
Fear the one thing you can't change
My life, my mind, couldn't escape me if you tried
Enter today, why don't you stay
Come with me don't run away
From the hate, from the pain
Be all that you should be

Are you scared? I couldn't hurt you
Are you scared? Are you scared?
Are you afraid?

Fear, fear the hate, fear the pain
Fear the one thing you can't change
My life, my mind, couldn't escape me if you tried
Enter today, why don't you stay
Come with me don't run away
From the hate, from the pain

How could you wash your fears away?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mindfeed's song "Fear" delve into the concept of fear – fear of hate, fear of pain, fear of being unable to change certain things in our lives. The opening lines of the song invite the listener to join the singer in his world, assuring them that what he has is theirs. However, he questions why they should come with him in the first place because of the presence of fear. The first verse and chorus of the song set the tone for the rest of it, with the singer trying to convince the listener to confront their fears.

The second verse's opening line indicates a shift in tone, as the singer urges the listener to "look into my eyes" and find "a feeling from within." However, this feeling is not all positive, as the singer redefines seduction and links it to sin. The second chorus repeats the first with a slight variation, incorporating questions about fear and whether or not the listener is scared.

Overall, the song is a call to action, asking the listener to confront their fears and not run away from them. It balances softness and aggression, as the singer's voice varies from gentle to intense, and the guitar and drums in the background ramp up and quieten down with the ebb and flow of the song.
