This Iron Maiden track delves into the primal human emotion of fear, particularly the fear of darkness—a metaphorical and literal theme that resonates deeply with universal anxieties. The lyrics articulate a personal narrative of walking alone in dark spaces, which evokes an intrinsic dread of unseen threats lurking just out of sight. This fear is intensified by the isolation felt during these moments, suggesting a broader commentary on human vulnerability and the psychological impact of solitude. The recurring chorus amplifies this unease, portraying it as both a pervasive presence and a specific phobia, thereby encapsulating the dual nature of fear as both a general feeling and an acute condition. #HumanAnxiety #PsychologicalFear #IronMaidenLyrics
Fear of the Dark
Lyrics
A light in the black
Or just a fear of the dark
I am a man who walks alone
When I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to fade
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, you, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
And though your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone
