Not Afraid Of The Dark
Embracing Light Amidst Shadows: A Journey of Overcoming Fears
Lyrics
I'm not afraid of the dark, but I used to be
I've overcome my fear of the dark, but I used to be scared in the past.
That little kid hiding under covers, everytime the lights turned out
Recalling childhood fears of hiding under covers when the lights went out.
That was then this is now, and the monsters ain't in the closet
The past is different from the present; current fears are not imaginary monsters but real-life challenges.
The stuff that scares me most, is hiding right outside my front door
The most frightening things are now in the real world, outside the safety of home.
I've grown up and gotten stronger, but my problems got bigger too
While growing up and becoming stronger, life challenges have also become more significant.
Days go by I'm brought to realize that I'll never stop needing you
Realization that dependency on support, possibly spiritual, is constant as time passes.
So I bow my head and say my prayers, I'm asking you for strength
Turning to prayer for strength, acknowledging the inability to face challenges alone.
I can't make it on my own, there ain't no way
Expressing the need for external help as an individual cannot overcome difficulties independently.
Father
Addressing a higher power, possibly God (Father), seeking guidance and strength.
Used to run far from home, when life got too hard
Reflecting on past behavior of running away from problems when life became challenging.
Retreat to that treeline down the road, under a night sky full of stars
Describing a specific place in nature where the individual used to find solace.
Man I've come so far, don't even live in that house anymore
Not residing in the old house anymore, indicating personal growth and change.
If I'm being honest, I'm still running in my heart
Despite progress, there is an admission of ongoing emotional struggles and the tendency to run away internally.
All those nights, you held me tight
Reflecting on comforting moments in the past where someone provided emotional support.
I still need to feel you near me
Expressing the enduring need for emotional closeness and support from the mentioned person.
All those days, I ran away
Acknowledging past actions of avoiding challenges and the continuous presence of support despite that.
You were waiting right there on me
Recognition of the unwavering support waiting despite moments of running away.
