It's The Fear

She's faced soemthing that has had a larege impact on her. For something so full of rage, and anger-- it must have been horrific and hard to overcome. Perhaps she thought she overcame it, but with each passing month she realized that there is no overcoming it... no escaping it. I think the song begins about an internal personal struggle then moves outwards. We're all afraid of what lies in the darkness. More than anything, we are all terrified of becoming that which we hate.

For me it seems to be about a person with destructive and harmful patterns in their behaviour (maybe acoholism, maybe a bad temper) who can see the damage they're doing and all the hurt they're causing and regrets it. it's about that peerson struggling to overcome that problem.

I think the lyrics are wrong. There's a line that should read "They won. They will come to life"

This song comes closer to describing me than anything I've ever heard. I think she's describing the darkness, the evil, within herself. It's always there. It's always struggling to break free, and it never tires. She knows that she can't control it forever. Eventually it will overwhelm her. Eventually she'll be the little voice inside, struggling to break free, instead of the other way around.

I think this song should have been on the X-men 3 soundtrack as it describes Jean Grey and how she struggled to control the Phoenix perfectly.

Yknow i think she has became a vampire and does not want to drink peoples blood so she is trying to restrain it.. she is fearing of who she is becoming.

This song, in line with several others (Overcome, Deceiver of Fools, etc..) is meant to sound pseudo-Christian. "That one day will come to light" is a direct quote from the Bible, "And one day, all sins will come to light." Her fears or 'sins' are consuming her (I feel that I am losing the struggle within... ) and she knows that one day all of her sins will be lain bare.

Choose to take it however you like, of course.

It seems at first to be an almost typical "enemy within" scenario. This could easily be an alternative character interpretation of the Hulk. I will leave it at that.

Wow, first comment! Love this song!

I love this song too!!!!!

some of the lyrics are wrong. here are the right ones:

Its the Fear

Waits for the day, I will let it out To Give it a reason, to give it its might

I fear who I am becoming, I feel that I am losing the struggle within I can no longer restrain it, My strength, it is fading I have to give in

It's the fear, The fear of the darkness is growing inside of me That one day will come to life, Have to save, Save my beloved, There is no escape Because my faith is horror and doom

Hold down your head now, Just let me pass by Don't feed my fear, If you don't want it out

I fear who I am becoming, I feel that I'm losing all beauty within I can no longer restrain it, My strength, it is fading I have to give in

It's the fear, The fear of the darkness is growing inside of me that one day will come to life Have to save, Save my beloved, There is no escape Because my faith is horror and doom

Long ago, it came to me and ever since that day, Infected with its rage But it ends today

It's the fear, The fear of the darkness is growing inside of me that one day will come to life Have to save, Save my beloved, There is no escape Because my faith is horror and doom

Once again I love this song. It is actually my fave WT song by far!!!
