about

'Fear’ is a story about a woman that has been a victim her entire life, controlled by her regrets and everything she is too afraid to say or do, constantly haunted by the choices she never made and the traps she keeps falling into. The character of the Goddess on the other hand is a manifestation of the fear within the woman, her dual nature in conflict, and we see the victim bound by the powerful Goddess and her army for the better part of the song, unable to hide, or escape from the prison of self doubt, her fears taking over.
The song however ends on a victorious note with the protagonist physically breaking the chains holding her down, and facing her worst nightmare, the Goddess of Fear. She finally defeats her fears, as she rises up against adversity, celebrating her metamorphosis into a woman that is a perfect balance of both identities, an Empowered Queen. The concept of the mirror that weaves in and out throughout the story, is to convey the breaking and letting go of the ego.

lyrics

Can anybody hear me
I'm trapped in a mirror inside
And as she takes over
I wonder if I'll make it out alive.

I've come so far, yet I am nowhere
Years go by as I open every door
Out of cards I look up at the stars
And pray to know what I'm in for.

Lost in a maze dreading time as I age
I'm spinning out of control
I was certain of my life purpose,
Unafraid of the unknown.

She's gonna hold on
As she feeds on my inner light
Locked in her shadow
Do I give in or do I fight?

Do I fight? Do I fight? Do I fight?

Breaking the chains holding me down in vain
I'm leaking inspiration
Won't let her claim my worth or focus
Through it all I will rise

I've come so far, yet I am nowhere
Can anybody hear me
Years go by as I open every door
I'm cracking the circle of my life
Taking charge I look up at the stars
And as I wake empowered
I've come so far, finally somewhere
I wonder if she'll make it out alive
