Don't Be Afraid
Embracing Transformation: Overcoming Fear and Acceptance
Lyrics
At some point I got too big for the space under your bed
Feeling too grown or mature for a familiar, safe space and seeking a different place.
Biting ankles didn't suit me so I moved to your closet
Moving to a different hiding spot or space, changing tactics.
I know the feeling
Understanding the emotions or situation.
I know you're scared 'cause somebody scared me too
Knowing someone else is afraid, relating to their fear.
Funny, I used to be a lot like you
Recognizing similarity with someone who is now fearful.
'Til I turned into something else
Transforming into a different person or entity.
Please don't be afraid of me
Requesting not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Reiterating the plea not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me, oh
Continuing the appeal to not be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Repeating the request to not evoke fear.
Don't be afraid of me
Asking not to be feared.
I'm trying but I know that look
Recognizing a familiar expression or reaction.
I learned to love what I had
Learning to appreciate what was possessed or experienced.
A troubled little thing trying to claw through the cracks, oh
Struggling and trying to break free from difficulties.
Fact is that people will hurt you, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you
Understanding that people may harm regardless of one's actions.
I know the feeling
Understanding the emotions or situation, repetition of line 3.
Healing over and hardening, sharpening
Recovering but also becoming tougher.
Sometimes I'm unrecognizable
Occasionally being unrecognizable due to changes.
Like I turned into someone else
Similar to line 6, transforming into someone different.
Please don't be afraid of me
Repeating the plea not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Reiterating the request not to evoke fear.
Please don't be afraid of me, oh
Continuing the appeal not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Repeating the request not to evoke fear.
Don't be afraid of me
Asking not to be feared.
I'm trying but I know that look
Recognizing a familiar expression or reaction.
Whoa, living by light through the keyhole
Living in a limited perception of life, perhaps hiding.
What if I've become the one I've been running from?
Questioning if one has become what they tried to escape.
Open the door to a tiptoe
Slowly approaching or entering cautiously.
What's that? I thought your eyes were closed
Thinking someone is unaware, but they're actually observing.
But you can see me oh god you can see me oh no
Realizing someone can see, causing distress or worry.
Please don't be afraid of me
Requesting not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Reiterating the plea not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me, oh
Continuing the appeal not to be feared.
Please don't be afraid of me
Repeating the request not to evoke fear.
Don't be afraid of me
Asking not to be feared.
I'm trying but I know that look
Recognizing a familiar expression or reaction.
