Lyrics
My father told me never to fear
My father advised me not to be afraid.
All of the darkness that I see down here
He acknowledged the darkness in the world but warned against being consumed by it.
He said not to worry, you'll be okay
Assurance from the father that everything will be fine; don't succumb to worries.
Just don't become a part of the deadly game
Avoid getting involved in destructive activities or harmful behaviors.
And if you're troubled by all the hate
Addressing the challenge of dealing with hate; confront it directly instead of avoiding.
Don't look aside, stare it in the face
Encouragement to love others genuinely, especially those misunderstood by society.
You can love them like you should
Promoting a compassionate approach, urging to love people as they deserve.
Love all the people that have so misunderstood
Expressing empathy for those who are often misunderstood.
Don't wait for the night to fall in on you
Advising against waiting for challenges to overwhelm; take proactive steps.
There's not enough time
Emphasizing the urgency of time; don't delay addressing issues.
Your simple please are not enough
Your simple pleasures won't suffice to keep troubles at bay.
To keep the rain from pouring in
Challenges and difficulties are inevitable, symbolized by the metaphor of rain pouring in.
The mindless stone your clinging to
The reliance on superficial or insignificant things may become burdensome.
Will turn into a boulder
A warning that seemingly harmless things can grow into significant problems.
It barely rests above your head
Describing the imminent danger; a potential threat hanging overhead.
So soon it will be falling
Highlighting the urgency, suggesting that the danger will soon become a reality.
Don't wait for the night to fall in on you
Reiteration of not waiting for challenges to overcome; time is of the essence.
There's not enough time
Re-emphasizing the scarcity of time; act promptly.
The little stone you bow down to
Caution against idolizing something insignificant; it won't alleviate anger.
Can never calm your anger
No matter how much one relies on certain things, they won't soothe deep-seated anger.
Millions of charms that "detour harm"
Mocking the idea that charms or superficial solutions can guarantee eternal joy.
Can't make your joy forever
Highlighting the temporary nature of joy; it can't be prolonged by external means.
The stars just fall down from the sky
A metaphorical depiction of dashed hopes and unfulfilled desires.
No wish you make will be granted
The futility of making wishes; they won't necessarily come true.
Don't wait for the night to fall in on you
Repetition of the advice to not wait for challenges; be proactive.
There's not enough time
Final emphasis on the urgency of time and the need for prompt action.
