No Fear
Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lived your life like a sleeping swan,
Your time has come,
To go deeper
Girl,
Your final journey has just begun,
But destiny chose to leave her,
No fear,
Destination darkness
No fear,
Destination darkness
Girl
Rain falls down from the northern skies
Like poisoned knives
With no mercy
Girl
Close your eyes for the one last time
Sleepless nights
From here to eternity
No fear
Destination darkness
No fear
Destination darkness
No fear
The song “No Fear” by Rasmus talks about death and the fear that usually comes with it. The song opens with the reference to a sleeping swan, which symbolizes a life lived in peace and tranquility. The singer tries to convey that the time has come for the girl to move to the next stage of life, which is death. The journey is one that everyone must take, and the girl has to embrace it with courage. Destiny has chosen her, and there is no escape from it.
The lyrics of the song become more evocative with the next verse. Rain, which is usually the symbol of life and growth, takes on a different interpretation in this context. It is like poisoned knives that fall mercilessly from the skies. The time has come for the girl to close her eyes, and it will be the last time that she will see the world. The twist, however, is that the girl will be able to sleep peacefully and eternally from now on. This finality is reinforced by the repetition of the lines “No fear, Destination darkness” at the end of each verse.
In conclusion, “No Fear” by Rasmus is a song about acceptance of death, which is an inevitable part of life. The lyrics are evocative, and the use of imagery is noteworthy. The song tells us that even though death may be scary, there is no need to fear it. Instead, we should embrace it with open arms, knowing that it is the journey that everyone must take.

From here to eternity
Forever and ever
