Serina Jung: Music & Lyrics

Fear

(Serina Jung)
2003
Serina S. Jung

This lyric isn't really a lyric at all. It's a poem that I adapted to song and it's a confession I made to myself upon realising just how afraid I was, at the time, to do or say anything unexpected, out of the ordinary, or adventurous. Upon writing that poem, I made a vow to myself that going forward, I would acknowledge my fears but not let them stop me from doing or saying whatever I needed to do or say. It's been quite the journey ever since.

 

 

Fear,

when did you appear?

when I did I invite your darkness

into my thoughts?

Love,

it scares me more than death itself

if I let go will I fall, and fall

and fall?

 

I have yet to outrun the wind

I have yet to remove

plasters from old wounds

'cause with every breath I take

I inhale you, Fear

 

chance,

may have walked with me

more than once

but you were with me

no, you would not leave my side

and dreams,

they used to come to me with fine ideas

but all the gifts they bore

were left untouched, untried

 

I have yet to outrun the wind

I have yet to remove

plasters from old wounds

I have yet to outrun the wind

I have yet to taste freedom

'cause with every breath I take

I inhale you, Fear
