Don't Be Afraid
The Dumplings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lead out every bad emotion
Concentrate and throw it out
Take care of your hide with caution
Don't be afraid to shout
Lead out every bad emotion
Concentrate and throw it out
No one never loved us
No one never thought
That he could hurt us
No one never thought
No one never loved us
No one never thought
That he could hurt us
No one never thought
In the sea with no land
We drown and start again
From the bottom of sand
As long as death begin
In the sea with no land
We drown and start again
From the bottom of sand
As long as death begin
No one never loved us
No one never thought
That he could hurt us
No one never thought
No one never loved us
No one never thought
That he could hurt us
No one never thought
The Dumplings's song "Don't Be Afraid" seems to be about facing your fears and expressing your emotions to let go of any negative energy. The opening lines, "Don't be afraid to shout, lead out every bad emotion, concentrate and throw it out, take care of your hide with caution," suggests that the song is motivational, encouraging the listener to let go of their fears and express themselves. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and releasing negative emotions.
The lines, "No one never loved us, no one never thought, that he could hurt us, no one never thought," could imply that the singer may feel neglected or unworthy of love. The following lines, "In the sea with no land, we drown and start again, from the bottom of sand, as long as death begins," may suggest the feeling of being lost and starting over again from scratch. However, the repetition of "no one never loved us" could also signify a rejection of societal standards of love and affection, encouraging the listener to find strength and resilience within themselves.
Overall, "Don't Be Afraid" is a bold and empowering song that encourages the listener to let go of their fears and emotions, emphasizing the importance of self-care and standing up for oneself.
