Life Less Frightening Lyrics

I'm going to be one of those cheesy people who says "ohmigod this song is about me." I think that the song is about being alive but being too scared to really be more than what you are, too scared to go forward. Being afraid of yourself, and thereby being afraid of everything. It's a sad way to live, really.

I think one reason for many artists in writing songs like this is to show those people that everyone feels that way from time to time, its not you per se, it is the system we live in that produces people who are suffocated by these feelings.

Cheer up, a lot of people feel exactly like you when they think about these cold unfeeling lives the system encourages us to live.
