The lyrics of Mind.in.a.box's song Fear speak about the all-consuming fear that lives within everyone. The song begins by describing how even though a person may have everything they want, they are constantly searching for something that they have not yet found. They fight and struggle through different battles, but all of their efforts are in vain. The verses go on to talk about how this person believes they are a leader and a preacher, someone who can inspire and guide others, but in reality, they are only turning others away and keeping themselves in the darkness.
The chorus is a powerful statement that speaks directly to the fear that is consuming this person. The fear is what drives them mad, makes them blind, keeps them sad, and kills their mind. They believe they can make things grow, but in truth, they are desolate like a desert. They deceive not only those around them, but also themselves, and everything they hear is just an echo of their own ego. The fear inside them is what they truly believe, and it is slowly but surely destroying them.
The song ends with a repeated statement: "Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse." It is a reminder that fear is a universal feeling and something that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. However, it is not an excuse to let the fear consume and control us.
Overall, Fear is a powerful message about how fear can eat away at a person's soul and how it is important to acknowledge and confront that fear in order to overcome it.
