Lou Barlow formed The Folk Implosion with John Davis in the 1990s as a way to explore different kinds of music that his other band Sebadoh did not normally play. "The Lou Barlow Folk Implosion," as it is sometimes called, took its name as a tribute to the band The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Another incarnation of this band went under the name Deluxx Folk Implosion, which featured Bob Fay, who worked with Lou Barlow in Sebadoh, on drums.
Folk Implosion briefly stepped to the forefront of the alternative rock scene with their song Natural One which was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Kids (Kids) and received strong airplay on alternative rock format radio stations.
No Need To Worry
The Folk Implosion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I find it
Never know where I am
until I leave
Not aware the I care
until I'm angry
Don't know what I'm thinking
until I dream
No need to worry…
Think that I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
No need to worry…
Waiting for the summer, but I won't be home
No need to worry…
And I don't understand it
No need to worry…
Think that I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
No need to worry…
Waiting for the summer, but I won't be home
No need to worry…
One who needs another, but the other's unknown
And I don't understand it..
But there's no need to worry
Confusion had it's own embrace
Your mind loves to worry
Your heart plans its own escape
But there's no need to worry
Confusion has its own embrace
Your mind needs to worry
Your heart loves a race
Here's where the fear could release me
It never meant so much
The Folk Implosion's "No Need To Worry" is a song about the unpredictability of life and the uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics suggest that the human mind often fails to understand the complexity of the world, leaving one in a state of confusion and anxiety. The song starts with the singer saying that he never knows what he is looking for until he finds it. This implies that life is a journey of self-discovery, and one can only understand their purpose through experience. The next line says that he never knows where he is until he leaves, meaning that life is not a linear path, and the destination is always unknown.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No need to worry" three times, suggesting that one should not get too anxious or stressed about the future. The verses then talk about the singer's loneliness and how he is waiting for the summer but won't be home. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for seeking freedom from everyday life, but nowhere feels like home. The final lines mention the release of fear and how it never meant so much. This suggests that it is essential to embrace uncertainty and not let fear hold us back from finding our path.
