What Are You Afraid Of Lyrics
I lost myself inside someone else
I couldn't see the lines between her and me On a darker road, the fear I've shown With eyes of stone, he walks alone What are you afraid of? All the years fade away What are you made of? From the ties that hold us down What are you fighting for? To feel them all What are you dying for? To be free Who tonight will change your life To jump on a plane and land a thousand miles away Just to see what we came to be (chorus repeat) Inside my eyes There's no chance of losing When there's no chance at all As time goes by, I forget why From a distant view it might still be true There's a part of me that lives for you. (chorus repeat) |

The song also suggests that the separation may have been a lengthy one, and in that time, feelings began to change. He started to get over her, but is afraid of losing that connection or love, that has meant so much to him for so long. The fact that there is a female voice that sings the questions on the chorus suggest to me that the woman in this song wants the man she once loved to move on with his life.
I think he takes one last chance on this woman, hoping to get back what they once had. He realizes that she has most definitely moved on with her life, and has found something else in life to take his place. She has freed herself of him, and is confused as to why he hasn't let her go. He isn't sure why he can't let her go, and even though time has passed, he's still holding out for her. He's still hoping that he'll get her back. Even if there isn't a chance in hell he's going to get what he wants.
I love the sadness in this song. There is almost an aching to it, from my perspective. There is a desperation to it, but it isn't hopeless. "What are you dying for? To be free." If it weren't for those lines, the hope would be gone. Those lines show that this man is not without redemption or reproach. He can rise above the pain he's feeling, and find someone else to love as much as he has loved this woman. But I think when you love someone as deeply as he loved this girl, there will always be a part of him that lives for her. And as long as it isn't in th forefront of your mind, I think that's okay. It's when you devote your entire life to someone who doesn't feel the same way as you that it's a problem.
This is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.
