I Can Be Afraid of Anything
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trembling hands and losing water, losing my will
When we got home, nothing was left but knots in the lease
Now I'm heading west or someplace far from the East
Cortisol and Serotonin, stable's a thrill
Anhedonia at the surface. Here, I'm in hell
I'm carrying this empty bucket, I wanna empty myself
Because everything is getting rid of everything else
Pacing parking lots, ignored
We are the same, but opposed
Something else is supposed to happen
You aren't having a good time anymore
(It felt easy before I left, left in dust to carry myself)
I really did dig my own hole, and I'm climbing out
I really did dig my own hole, but I can see the top
I'm climbing out
I really did dig my own hole
I'm climbing out
I'm climbing out
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground (Left in dust)
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out
(What we call life above the ground)
Being this age always seemed so far away (Left in dust)
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house?
(What we call life above the ground)
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground (Left in dust)
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out
(What we call life above the ground)
Being this age always seemed so far away (Left in dust)
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house?
(What we call life above the ground)
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground (Left in dust)
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out
(What we call life above the ground)
Being this age always seemed so far away (Left in dust)
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house?
(What we call life above the ground)
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground (Left in dust)
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out
(What we call life above the ground)
Being this age always seemed so far away (Left in dust)
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house?
(What we call life above the ground)
To carry myself out
"I Can Be Afraid of Anything" is a song by the indie rock band The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die. The song is about the struggle to maintain hope when life is overwhelming and to find a way to move forward when everything is falling apart. The first verse describes the feeling of carrying a heavy burden, and the frustration of losing one's will to carry on. The second verse explores the conflict between feeling stable and feeling anhedonic, or lacking pleasure or happiness. The chorus reinforces the idea that life is messy and full of contradictions, and that we must learn to handle the difficult parts if we want to experience the good parts.
The third verse shifts to a more positive tone, describing the smell of life and the hope of climbing out of one's hole. The final verse asks the question of how to live a good life and whether it's possible to bring our trash outside the house, suggesting that we need to confront our own baggage and deal with it in order to move forward. The song suggests that even though life can be difficult and overwhelming, we must continue to strive for a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm carrying a heavy bucket back from the well
I'm struggling and burdened, trying to bring something back from a difficult situation
Trembling hands and losing water, losing my will
I'm anxious and losing my strength and determination, making it even harder
When we got home, nothing was left but knots in the lease
After all that hard work, there was nothing to show for it but a tangled mess
Now I'm heading west or someplace far from the East
I'm leaving and starting over somewhere new and far from where I've been
Cortisol and Serotonin, stable's a thrill
My brain chemicals are making me feel good even though it's because of a lack of feeling
Anhedonia at the surface. Here, I'm in hell
Though I'm feeling okay, I'm aware of my lack of pleasure and it's tormenting
I'm carrying this empty bucket, I wanna empty myself
I'm carrying around an emptiness inside and want to release it
Because everything is getting rid of everything else
Things are constantly changing and disappearing, leaving nothing permanent
Pacing parking lots, ignored
I'm restless and alone in a desolate space
We are the same, but opposed
We may have similarities, but we are different and in conflict
Something else is supposed to happen
There is an expectation that something different or better should occur
You aren't having a good time anymore
You're not enjoying life as you used to
(It felt easy before I left, left in dust to carry myself)
(It was simpler in the past, but now I'm left to struggle alone)
I really did dig my own hole, and I'm climbing out
I caused my own problems, but I'm making an effort to improve my situation
I really did dig my own hole, but I can see the top
I'm aware of how far down I've fallen, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
I'm climbing out
I'm making progress and working towards a better future
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground (Left in dust)
Life is present and thriving, but only above the dust and decay of the past and old ways
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out (What we call life above the ground)
We have made mistakes, but there is always a chance for redemption and renewal
Being this age always seemed so far away (Left in dust)
Reaching this point in life felt like a distant dream overshadowed by past failures
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house? (What we call life above the ground)
Is life really better here, and can we rid ourselves of the negative aspects from before?

And the lyrics to this song are:
"I’m carrying a heavy bucket back from the well.
Trembling hands and losing water, losing my will.
When we got home, nothing was left but knots in the lease.
Now I’m heading west or someplace far from the East.
Cortisol and Serotonin, stable’s a thrill. Anhedonia at the surface.
Here, I’m in hell.
I’m carrying this empty bucket, I wanna empty myself.
Because, everything is getting rid of everything else.
Pacing parking lots, ignored. We are the same, but opposed.
Something else is supposed to happen.
You aren’t having a good time anymore.
It felt easy before I left, left in dust to carry myself. I really did dig my own hole, and I’m climbing out.
I really did dig my own hole, but I can see the top.
I’m climbing out. I really did dig my own hole.
I’m climbing out. I’m climbing out.
You can smell life here, what we call life above the ground.
Hands stained dirty, but there is water to wash them out.
Being this age always seemed so far away.
How is life here, can we bring our trash outside the house? (x4)
What we call life above the ground, left in dust. Left in dust to carry myself out"

+Dani Black This track is awesome, but my favorite song of theirs will always be 'Getting Sodas'
Taylor Cassell
@Dani Black I have seen them live! It was just ominous and a really enjoyable experience. You think you're on another planet or something because of their atmospheric sound
Danielle Goldstein
+i dont want to put my real name I've listened to all of their albums, thank you for the suggestion, I'm obsessed.. can't get enough
Danielle Goldstein
+Taylor Cassell a goal of mine now actually.. since finding this band, it's all I can listen to. I'm sure they are incredible. did you see them play live?
David Zeidler
I remember when they were still doing the small-time thing out of Willimantic, CT, not far from where I grew up. But those days are over - these guys are fully legit. The last 3+ minutes of this song are absolutely unstoppable. Period. That final refrain has owned my life for the last week, and I don't see it wearing out its welcome, ever.
Eliza Browning
I’m from Tolland and still in shock that something this beautiful and dreamy could come from around here haha
Elias Ricard
wow I didn't know they were from ct. I'm next to willimantic, kinda surprised I've never heard of them before this week. they sound great though

+David Zeidler agreed 200%. i love this whole song, but the shift at 5:12 is incredible. i just feel nostalgia. hitting me with the force of a thousand bricks.
