Cover art for Darkness lyrics by Peter Gabriel

To me, easily the best song on the album. I adore the chorus melody.

Like stated above,the song is about overcoming and controlling your fears.

The song looks at fears the same way, lets say, we might look at a wild animal we're squared off with in the woods - it may look scary, but it's just as scared as we are.

We grow up and we realize all those things we were scared of really aren't that scary.

Now that I think about it, the whole album does have this growing up thing to it, no pun, of course.
