Have You Ever Been Afraid
Embracing Fear: Unspoken Words and Silent Longings in Joe McLeod's Melody
Lyrics
Have you ever been afraid
Feeling fear at some point in life
Of all the things you'll never say
Regret over unspoken words or missed opportunities
And have you even been so scared
Experiencing intense fear due to an awareness of something existing
Because you know there's something there
Being scared because of a perceived presence or significance
Yeah, I need you to listen to the silence in the room
Request to pay attention to the unspoken communication in the room
Would it kill you to notice, it'll kill me to loose
Highlighting the impact of not noticing, with potential consequences
I want you to see me, yeah, I want you so bad
Expressing a strong desire for the other person to see and notice
In my head, I am seeing all the times we never had
Imagining moments that were never experienced together
What do you think about the future
Asking about thoughts on the future
Or what you wanted in the past
Inquiring about desires or expectations from the past
Does the timing feel different
Questioning if the current timing feels different or requires reconsideration
Or is it worth another pass
Considering whether a situation is worth revisiting or not
When you wake up each morning and the sun is poking through
Setting the scene of waking up with sunlight, symbolizing a new day
You look over your shoulder, there's a space next to you
Noticing an empty space next to oneself when waking up
Will it always be empty, will it be filled soon
Pondering if the emptiness will persist or be filled in the future
If you ask me or let me, I would fill it for you
Expressing willingness to fill the void if given the opportunity
Have you ever been afraid
Reiteration of the initial question about experiencing fear
Have you ever been afraid
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the theme of fear
Have you ever been afraid
Continued emphasis on the recurring theme of fear
Have you ever been afraid
Repeating the question once more to conclude the song
