Love turning things around can be from making a new friend, being cheered up by current friends/loved ones, finding a new job you love, being excited w/ your car being replaced or restored. Pain can come from fighting w/ a friend, losing a job, crashing your car. One doesn't always have to apply it to a break up. The song applies to anyone in ANY situation. General CommentJohn Mayer writes amazing & touching music. Instead, we should let it motivate us to do the things we're too scared to do, fear should allow us to take those chances we are afraid to take. And that's how fear is misunderstood- we take it to mean its warning us, we revel in it and let it blanket us. Fear means the chance of failure, the chance of failing, but if you never try you never know.
And then I realized that fear is a motivator in positive ways too, because chances are, if you’re afraid of something, it's probably the exact same thing you should be doing. I was just thinking about fear, and how it drives my life, but in negative ways. And John himself said he wrote it after his grandmother died.Īnyway, as much as I love this song, I've never been able to figure out the line, "Fear is a friend who's misunderstood."īut today, for the first time, I finally got it. The song isn't JUST about breaking up with 's about all aspects of life. General CommentFirst, I have to agree with Doomsquad.
