Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something wicked this way comes
The best time I've ever had
Waiting around for something bad
Fearless, fearless, oh
And I know that's why you love me
Fearless, fearless, come on
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica
Oh, so fearless
Oh, so fearless
Oh
This is what it's all about
Take me in and eat me out
Pins and needles in my arms
Lucky eyes and lucky charms
Fearless, fearless, oh
And I know that's why you love me
Fearless, fearless, come on
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica
Oh, so fearless
Oh, so fearless
Oh, so fearless
Oh, so fearless
Oh, yeah
The Bravery’s song “Fearless” is an energetic, up-tempo tune about facing life with gusto and without fear. The opening lines, “Too many fingers, too many thumbs/Something wicked this way comes,” suggest the presence of something ominous or dangerous on the horizon. Despite this foreboding, the singer is having the best time of his life “waiting around for something bad.” The repetition of the word “fearless” in the chorus reinforces the theme of fearlessness.
The lines “This is what it’s all about/Take me in and eat me out” suggest a willingness to fully engage with life, even if that means experiencing its darker aspects. The phrase “pins and needles in my arms” echoes the earlier use of “something wicked” and reinforces the idea of imminent danger. The closing lines repeat the word “fearless” and emphasize the singer’s lack of fear.
Overall, “Fearless” is a song about embracing life with all its ups and downs, and facing it head-on without fear. As the chorus repeats, fearlessness is why the singer is loved, and it’s something to be celebrated and admired.

Saw them backing up Green Day in the summer of 2009. Hartford, Connecticut with my two kids. It was my son's first concert (age 10) and after their set, The Bravery sat two sections over to await Green Day's set. My son just walked up to them to compliment them on their set. They gave him a guitar pick and thanked him for coming. Fathers remember stuff like that forever. Thank you, gentlemen.

Holy shit, I was at that concert too! I had just discovered them as a band, and had no idea they were opening. It blew me away.

The Bravery and The Music are probably the most underrated bands of the 00's

I don't think they were a head of there time, to me this screams early 2000s. Only thing I'm mad about is I never saw them live 😔.

@Benn255 B They were ahead of their time there. They feared less of Covid 19 there after predicting it LOL.
