Scares Me More
Confronting Fears: Jeffrey Gaines' Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
The wind's in the sky
The wind is present in the sky.
And the blue's in the ocean
The color blue is present in the ocean.
The thoughts in my mind
There are thoughts in the singer's mind.
Sending me into motion
These thoughts are propelling the singer into action.
I could fly or I could fall
The singer faces the choice of either flying or falling.
But to never have tried at all
The fear of never trying at all is greater than the fear of failure.
Scares me more than anything in the world
The fear of not trying is the most significant fear for the singer.
The leaves on the trees
The leaves are present on the trees.
And the color's in flowers
The flowers exhibit various colors.
The thoughts in my mind
The singer continues to contemplate thoughts in their mind.
And I toss it around for hours
The singer spends a significant amount of time pondering these thoughts.
I could win or I could lose
The singer faces the possibility of winning or losing.
Heaven above will have to chose
The outcome may be determined by a higher power, represented as "Heaven above."
Scares me more than anything in the world
The fear of the unknown outcome is the singer's greatest fear.
Scares me more than growing old
The fear of the unknown surpasses the fear of growing old.
Scares me more than growing cold
The fear of the unknown surpasses the fear of growing cold.
Scares me more than being told
The fear of the unknown surpasses the fear of being told something.
It's all on me, loss or victory
The responsibility for the outcome, whether loss or victory, rests solely on the singer.
The sun's in my shine
The sun contributes to the singer's brightness or positivity.
And the clouds in my coffee
Clouds are present in the singer's metaphorical coffee, representing challenges.
The thought's in my mind
Continued presence of thoughts in the singer's mind.
And it slowly consumes me
These thoughts gradually consume the singer.
I could hit or I could miss
The singer faces the possibility of hitting or missing a target.
But just to sit around like this
Sitting idly without taking action is scarier than facing potential failure.
Scares me more than anything in the world
The fear of inaction is the singer's greatest fear.
Scares me more than anything in the world
Reiteration of the overarching fear of inaction as the most significant fear for the singer.
