Halloween
Embracing Fear: Mia Stegner's Halloween Anthem Explores Life's Frights
Lyrics
I'm afraid of monsters
I have fears related to monsters.
I'm afraid of you
I am afraid of you specifically.
I'm afraid I'll die one day
I fear the inevitability of my own death.
But life, it scares me too
Life itself is intimidating and causes fear.
There's so much to fear
There are numerous things that invoke fear.
There's so much to do
There's a lot that needs to be done, which can be daunting.
There's so little time
Time feels limited, creating anxiety.
Can't help but doubt that we'll come through
I doubt our ability to overcome challenges.
Reclaim it as fun, for only one night
Suggests a desire to redefine fear as enjoyable just for one night, possibly referencing Halloween.
This time we won't run, from all of the fright
Commitment to facing fears rather than avoiding them.
We don't have to fight, we can have tonight
Encouragement to embrace the present moment without conflict or resistance.
We'll trap our fear in TV screens
Using entertainment (TV screens) to contain and control fear.
We'll let it out on Halloween
Expressing the release of fear during Halloween festivities.
Behind the masks, real monsters wait
Warning about the hidden dangers that exist behind deceptive appearances (masks).
To this costume party, don't be late
Emphasizing the importance of being punctual to a costume party where one might encounter real threats disguised as costumes.
Pass out candy to all of your family neighbors friends
Suggesting the tradition of sharing and connecting with others during Halloween by giving candy.
Stay up all night so the day doesn't have to end
Desire to extend the night to avoid the end of Halloween.
