Scare Away the Dark Lyrics
Well, sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
We wish our weekdays away
Spend our weekends in bed
Drink ourselves stupid
And work ourselves dead
And all just because that's what mom and dad said we should do
We should run through the forest
We should swim in the streams
We should laugh, we should cry,
We should love, we should dream
We should stare at the stars and not just the screens
You should hear what I'm saying and know what it means
To sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
Well, we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter,
We wish we weren't losers and liars and quitters
We want something more not just nasty and bitter
We want something real not just hash tags and Twitter
It's the meaning of life and it's streamed live on YouTube
But I bet Gangnam Style will still get more views
We're scared of drowning, flying and shooters
But we're all slowly dying in front of fucking computers
So sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Oh, love without fear in your heart.
Can you feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
Spend our weekends in bed
Drink ourselves stupid
And work ourselves dead
And all just because that's what mom and dad said we should do
We should swim in the streams
We should laugh, we should cry,
We should love, we should dream
We should stare at the stars and not just the screens
You should hear what I'm saying and know what it means
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
We wish we weren't losers and liars and quitters
We want something more not just nasty and bitter
We want something real not just hash tags and Twitter
But I bet Gangnam Style will still get more views
We're scared of drowning, flying and shooters
But we're all slowly dying in front of fucking computers
Oh, love without fear in your heart.
Can you feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

Love this song, its message is great!!! Speaks about the cynicism of society nowadays and what's expected of us in society, "work ourselves dead, just because that's what mom and dad said".
It also shows what society is telling us all the time through tv, ads, etc, that we are not perfect to society, this constant buzz around us telling us that we are ugly, fat,etc. "Well, we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter".
This song as shows what we are lacking in society nowadays, to be happy, free to express our emotions, to do what we want, "We should run through the forests We should swim in the streams We should laugh, we should cry We should love, we should dream"
Unfortunately, he's saying that people nowadays are attached to their screens, not experiencing the human emotions of wonder and discover, laughter, etc. We're scared of drowning, flying and shooters But we're all slowly dying in front of fucking computer"
The underlying message is that if we all come together and be happy, express ourselves, we can beat the cynicism of today's society, the fear and anguish, if we learn to love everyone, including ourselves, "we can scare away the dark".
