Getting Scared Lyrics

Cover art for Getting Scared lyrics by Imogen Heap

This song is explaining her experience and feelings toward a childhood bully it seems. It reminds me of how I felt years later after 5th grade when the kids that bullied me ended up apologizing for the three years of torture i was given. It was ironic to me. And i enjoyed it , when they apologized i reacted somewhat coldly in reply. Kid's can be cruel as hell. This is an awesome song. Bitter yes, but she explains her points and pain across beautifully. " The only times of my life The sun was meant to shine for me You made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain"

To me these lines say that in the prime of her life, her childhood that should be enjoyed was spoiled by this boy who brought her life down during this period in her life.

"Encaged by your obsession with me"

This line obviously can be taken in different ways. Doubtful though this could have meant he liked her, that type of obsession. But i personally take this comment as her saying his obsession with bullying her.

To sum it up this is a bitter song about this girls past with this bully and years later her revenge.

Awesome song
