Lyrics

you’ve been at my side for as long as i recall

You've been with me for as long as I can remember.

always in my blind spot creeping up the walls

Always present but unnoticed, like a hidden challenge.

first on every bridge i thought will it all come down

Concerns about the stability of life's foundations and structures.

now will there be people will i sing or drown

Contemplating the presence of others and the possibility of expression.


you’re still here

Despite challenges, you remain.

blazing fear

A constant, intense fear.


now i know that i can’t win

Acceptance of inability to overcome.

you will take me for a spin

Expectation of being taken on an unpredictable journey.

but now i turn the light on you

Shifting attention towards the source of fear.

guess you are my naked truth

Realization that fear represents a genuine, vulnerable self.

and i’ll never be free from you

Recognition of the enduring connection with fear.

so let’s call a truce

Suggesting a desire to make peace with fear.


all those nights i wondered how to give you up

Contemplation of breaking free from the persistent fear.

hiding under covers anticipating dusk

Anticipating a challenging transition or transformation.

we are like the Russian still caught up in cold war

Metaphorically comparing the relationship to a Cold War.

entering each building you behind every door

Fear infiltrating every aspect of life.


you’re still here

Fear remains, but there's a sense of affection.

but i’m endeared

Despite fear, there's a certain fondness or attachment.


now i know that i can’t win

Acknowledgment of inability to overcome the fear.

you will take me for a spin

Expectation of being controlled or influenced by fear.

but now i turn the light on you

Focusing attention on the fear itself.

here you are your naked truth

Revealing the true nature of the fear.

and i’ll never be free from you

Acknowledgment of the enduring connection with fear.

so let’s call a truce

Proposing a truce with fear, an agreement to coexist.


there’s no end

Reflection on the timeless nature of the fear.

there’s no beginning

Recognition of an ongoing, inseparable connection.

only what will be

Emphasis on the inevitability of what will unfold.

i am by your side and you will never leave me

Absolute commitment to the perpetual presence of fear.

mmm mmm

Indistinct vocalizations, possibly representing a deep emotional state.

so let’s call a truce

Reiteration of the proposal to make peace with fear.
