Fear
Peter Spilles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is nothing to fear
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Fear" by Peter Spilles is a powerful message about the importance of overcoming our fears. The opening lines "there is nothing to fear" immediately pacify the listener, yet it quickly becomes evident that Spilles is tackling the issue of fear head-on. He suggests that aggression is often the result of fear itself, and therefore, to be afraid of someone else is to essentially be afraid of the unknown aspects of ourselves. We are all ruled by our own fears, and it is only when we overcome them that we can truly live life to the fullest.


Spilles also suggests that we are all "behaving like small children in the darkness" when we allow our fears to control us. This line is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the childishness of our fears and how they stem from a lack of understanding or knowledge. In order to break the cycle of fear that we are all living in, we must take a step back and recognize that our fears are holding us back from experiencing all that life has to offer. By embracing our fears and pushing past them, we can finally live a life that is free from the constant weight of anxiety and apprehension.


In conclusion, "Fear" by Peter Spilles is an inspiring message about the importance of overcoming our fears. It encourages listeners to break the circle of fear that we are all living in and to embrace life with open arms. The song is a reminder that we are all capable of overcoming our fears, and that the only thing holding us back is ourselves.
