I once had no fears
none at all
and then when
I had some
to my surprise
I grew to like both
scared or brave
without them
the thrill of fear
thought I'd never admit it
the thrill of fear
now greatly enjoyed with courage
when I once was
untouchable
innocence roared
still amazes
when I once was
innocent
it's still here
but in different places
neurosis
only
attaches
itself to
fertile
ground
where it can flourish
the thrill of fear
thought I'd never admit it
the thrill of fear
now greatly enjoyed with courage
when I once was
fearless
innocence roared
still amazes
untouchable
innocence
it's still here
but in different places
fear is a powerful drug
overcome it and
you think that you can do
anything!
should I
save myself
for later
or generously give?
fear of
losing
energy
is draining
it locks up your chest
shuts down the heart
miserly
and stingy
let's open up : share!

I think it's about how we can still embrace fear without being neurotic. fear is there for a reason, and to live without it would cause somebody to become jaded, but to let it control you would be detrimental to your life. so we must overcome it, and in this way we also retain some of our childlike innocence without being crippled by fear of the unknown.

We have to mature to a state where we can enjoy both fear and courage in our lives. The speaker personally fears losing energy.
This is such an abnosome song! It's abnormal that she's implying that innocence (commonly associated with irrational fears) is actually less frightening than experience, but it's awesome that she says that courage makes it fun! Abnosome!
its about how she misses her innocence fear of loosing energy is draining
In my humble opinion, she still retains some innocence, but she's struggling with it,
From what I've heard so far, Volta will be ****ing awesome!
i agree with soma's humble opinion, on all accounts! :)
I heard this before Earth Intruders, and i must say i love this so much more. Earth Intruders is gorgeous, but this is so simple and lovely. This woman is my favorite musician ever, and she always delivers :D
greaaat song!!!!!
Volta is amazing!!!! :D
This song is kinda our love affair w/ roller coasters, we love to fear....like a lot of thing in life, take relationships, some girls like bad boys, because they are taking a risk w/ their heart. the thrill of fear keeps em moving...just like w/ anything, we sometime love to fear something, and this song is tribal, the beat is killer...good job timbaland...
this song is great! i really like and agree with what emiala said.
