About Science of Fear

“Science of Fear“ by The Temper Trap is a metaphorical exploration of the power of fear in life. The lyrics are packed with imagery of a car moving downhill, desperately trying to slow down or else face eminent danger. This is a metaphor for the feeling of life being out of control and heading towards certain disaster. The pre-chorus and chorus lyrics emphasize the idea of being stuck in fear and not being able to move, as well as the understanding of fear as a science and how it can plague the mind and paralyze us. .

Science of Fear Lyrics

Brakes on
Brakes on
The car is running empty
Brakes on, brakes on
The car is runnin' empty
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin' slowly
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin' slowly
Move
Or watch the slow death of your way of life
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here
My ears
My eyes
My brain is slowly bustin'
Black smoke
Red sky
The television's sayin'
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin'
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin'
Move
Or watch the murder of your way of life
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
