Bump in The Night
Embrace Your Shadows: A Journey Through Inner Fears
Lyrics
There's nothing in your closet
Assurance that there are no physical threats in the closet.
There's nothing under your bed
Reassurance that there's nothing dangerous under the bed.
The only monsters to be scared of
Identification of the true fears as internal rather than external.
The ones inside of your head
Acknowledgment of personal fears residing in one's thoughts.
They live inside of your head
Emphasis on the persistent nature of internal fears.
Baby don't be frightened
Encouragement not to be afraid.
It'll be alright
Assurance that things will be okay.
Just hold my hand and I'll protect you from all the things that go
Offer of protection from fears with a symbolic gesture of holding hands.
Bump in the night
Reference to existential crises and insecurities causing fear.
Existential crisis and the insecurity plight
Acknowledgment that the struggle intensifies with attempts to resist.
It only gets harder
Statement about the increasing difficulty of the internal struggle.
The harder you try to fight
Encouragement to keep fighting against internal fears.
But baby you gotta fight
Reiteration of the necessity to confront and overcome fears.
Don't be frightened
Reassurance not to be afraid despite the internal struggles.
It'll be alright
Reiteration of the assurance that everything will be okay.
Just hold my hand and I'll show you all those things that go
Promise to reveal and guide through the fears symbolized as things that go bump in the night.
Bump in the

Suggestion that the real fear might come from within, implying self-reflection.
There's no need to be frightened
Assurance that there's no need to be afraid.
You're squeezing too tight
Warning against holding onto fears too tightly.
Just give in to your sin until you're another one of those things that goes
Encouragement to embrace one's flaws or sins, becoming part of the things that go bump in the night.
