Scared of Yourself (Peter Luts
Zornik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You reach for pain
you reach for fear
you reach for everything
but nothing ever comes your way

And I'm not lying
And you always complain about the way I behave without you
And last night I had a dream
about it
And it's very hard to stay faithful
to a dream of you

CHORUS:
Think about the lies
that we told to each other
we never bothered
What a big surprise
that you're scared of yourself
and alone all again

You reach for me
you reach for us
you reach for everything
but nothing ever comes my way

But you
you are nothing but a state of mind
from the start until the end





CHORUS x 2

Overall Meaning

The song Scared of Yourself by Zornik portrays a relationship where one partner is constantly seeking pain and fear, but never finds fulfillment. The other partner is faithful in their love, but struggles with the burden of their partner's insecurities. The lyrics "you reach for everything but nothing ever comes your way" suggest that the character is chasing after something unattainable. The dream mentioned in the lyrics adds to the theme of unfulfilled desires, as even in the subconscious, the character struggles to find satisfaction.


The chorus highlights the lies that have been told in the relationship and the lack of effort to work through them. The character is left alone, scared of themselves and their inability to be happy. The line "you reach for everything but nothing ever comes my way" suggests that even though their partner is faithful, they feel emotionally distant and unconnected. The repeated chorus emphasizes the cycle of pain and fear that the relationship is stuck in, with no resolution in sight.


Overall, Scared of Yourself conveys a powerful message about the importance of self-reflection and communication in relationships. It warns against seeking fulfillment in all the wrong places and highlights the toxic cycle that can develop if proper communication is not maintained.
