Nada made her début, aged 15, at the 1969 San Remo Music Festival with the song 'Ma che freddo fa', which gave her instant success, also with the Spanish language version 'Hace frío ya'. In 1971 she won the San Remo Music Festival with 'Il cuore è uno zingaro', alongside Nicola Di Bari, obtaining notable international success. She returned to the festival that made her big in 1972, 1987, 1999 and 2007.

The Fear
Nada Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Fear (**)

Run from nothing in my head
Nothing in my head makes me run
The fear I feel is inside me
Fight the feeling instead

Run from nothing at all

All that I need is too far away
Too far away to make me want
Want to run towards it

I know it is not real to me so I stand, I go, where I stand is my home
The only way I can breathe

Run from nothing in my head
Nothing in my head makes me run
The fear I feel is inside me
Fight the feeling instead

I know it is not real to me so I stand, I go, where I stand is my home
The only way I can breathe

Nothing and no one calls me back to this life I choose not to be

I am nothing at all
All that I wanted is to be nothing

Forgive what it meant to me
I'm just an excuse to fall ever so lightly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nada's song The Fear speak about the existential dread and anxiety that can consume an individual in their day to day life. The opening two lines, "Run from nothing in my head, nothing in my head makes me run;" suggest that the singer is hyper-aware and hypervigilant of any minuscule detail that might trigger their fear. They feel paralyzed and unable to control their racing thoughts.

The following lines, "The fear I feel is inside me, fight the feeling instead," imply that the fear is entirely internalized and that the only way to confront it is to settle one's mind and fight against the feeling of being consumed. The repetition of the phrase "run from nothing at all" throughout the song could be interpreted as a mantra, where the singer is attempting to convince themselves that there is indeed nothing to fear.

The chorus, "I know it is not real to me so I stand, I go, where I stand is my home, the only way I can breathe," suggests that the fear is a product of the singer's imagination rather than an actual danger that is present outside of their mind. The lyrics imply that the only way to cope with their anxiety is to embrace it, acknowledge it, and then move forward into the discomfort. The lines "Nothing and no one calls me back to this life I choose not to be" indicates that the singer prefers to avoid people and activities that might exacerbate their fear.
