Fearless
Wes Carr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spent my life thinking bout myself,
I wouldn't change it for no one else.
I don't like talking when I watch T.V.,
I like to drink as much as I want,
There must be something in the free champagne,
It's not my party but I'm glad I came.
I saw you looking, I was looking back,
Something happened to me.

I want you right now,
I want you right now,
Gotta be right now,
I want you right now,
Give me a chance!

I could be fearless,
I could be strong,
I could be wiser, braver,
I could be mean if that's what you want.
I'll be a fighter,
Taking the crown,
Gonna be louder, shameless, reckless,
If that's what you want.

If you could find a way to read my mind,
You'd see ten thousand soldiers standing in line.
With flowers in their guns pointing straight at you,
Cause Cupid's too stupid for war.

I want you right now,
I want you right now,
Gotta be right now,
I want you right now,
Give me a chance!

I could be fearless,
I could be strong,
I could be wiser, braver,
I could be mean if that's what you want.
I'll be a fighter,
Taking the crown,
Gonna be louder, shameless, reckless,
If that's what you want.

I want you right now,
I want you right now,
Gotta be right now,
I want you right now,
I want you right now [Repeat x2]

I want you right now,
I want you right now,
Gotta be right now,
I want you right now,
Give me a chance!

I could be fearless,
I could be strong,
I could be wiser, braver,
I could be mean if that's what you want.
I'll be a fighter,
Taking the crown,
Gonna be louder, shameless, reckless,
If that's what you want.

Fearless,
I could be fearless baby,
I could be strong,
I could be brave,
I'll be a fighter taking the crown,

Gonna be louder, shameless, reckless,
If that's what you want!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wes Carr's "Fearless" tell the story of a man who has spent his life being self-centered and not caring about anyone else's opinion. He enjoys drinking and the buzz that comes with it, but when he catches the eye of someone at a party, his perspective shifts. The singer realizes that he is willing to put himself out there and be vulnerable for the chance to be with this person. He wants to be fearless, strong, and brave in order to win their heart. The final lines speak to the idea that love is worth fighting for, even if it means risking everything.

Overall, the song seems to be about the transformative power of love. The singer goes from being someone who only cares about himself to someone who is willing to change and take risks for someone else. The lyrics are simple, but they convey a powerful message about how love can change us and make us better people.

I'm not the host of the party, but I'm happy I attended

I saw you looking, I was looking back,
I noticed you staring, and I stared back

Something happened to me.

You'd see ten thousand soldiers standing in line.
You'd see the extent of how I feel about you

With flowers in their guns pointing straight at you,
With an army armed with flowers pointing at you

Cause Cupid's too stupid for war.
Because love is a peaceful emotion that should never turn to war.

I want you right now [Repeat x2]
I still want to be with you now, and that desire has not changed.

Fearless,
I'm ready to be brave and courageous with you.

I could be fearless baby,
I'm confident that I can be a fearless partner in this relationship

I could be brave,
I'm willing to face anything with you

This guy is brilliant its a shame that he didn't take off and become popular he certainly was capable of producing great music. Must just be the fact that no one enjoys this style of music anymore. Make me unhappy because he would of added some much needed variety and wouldn't have been the stereotypical trashy celebrity I'm sure.
