The emotion of fear is closely tied to that of depression. In this deeply honest, somber track, this emotional state is visited both lyrically and musically, and there is nostalgia for a time when fear was not so thought-consuming.
[Verse]
No sleep today
Can't even rest when the sun's down
No time, there's not enough
And nobody's watching me now
[Chorus]
When we were children we'd play
Out in the streets just tempting fate
When we were children we'd say
That we don't the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of
When we were children we'd play
Out in the streets just tempting fate
When we were children we'd say
That we don't the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of
[Outro]
Wish I
Didn't know the meaning of
