“Waves of Fear” is the closing track off of Maxïmo Park’s fourth studio album, The National Health. It has been stated by Paul Smith that the song is about overcoming one’s fears and woes.
Paul in an interview with The Line Of Best Fit:
I’m sick of hierarchies and class systems and people feeling...
What a world this is
But we don't know what to do with it
Transform yourself - It won't take long to get over it
You and I will overthrow these waves of fear, these tides of woe
You and I will overcome
The apathetics we've become
Hard to find in popular song
I didn't say I was right
I didn't say I was wrong
What a world this is
But we don't know what to do with it
Transform yourself - It won't take long to get over it
You and I will overthrow these waves of fear, these tides of woe
The nostalgic urge
The provincial purge
The collage you make
Of the modern age
I know you want me
To make decisions
But I was never willing
To make decisions
High company
Means nothing to me
I've cleansed myself of shame
I'm second-class ingrained
What a world this is
But we don't know what to do with it
Transform yourself
And let's disappear
We're not going to leave
Until you're ready
Waves of Fear was written by Paul Smith & Duncan Lloyd.
