The first time I heard this song, I was listening through the album without paying close attention to the song names, but would check every so often.
I was finishing up some homework and wasn't feeling great because of certain things going on in life at the time. The stess and intimidation of the future had been beginning to bear down on me. Just the sheer uncertainty of what was to come brought unyielding stress, and the building of the song beat the feeling deeper. I had forgotten I was listening to them until just before the climax, when I was feeling most upset, hands shaking, palms sweaty, about to break down. Then the climax broke. I felt a sudden release of tension, everything seemed to align for a moment, everything was fine. I looked at my zune to see the title of the song, 'It's natural to be afraid', and I was reminded of how phenomenally Explosions can communicate such strong emotions with so little.
It was like a comforting companion saying, yeah, things are gonna be scary, and things might get really difficult, but that's alright, because life will be good too, and I'll always be near to remind you of it.
