track 12 - scared

The meaning

The album is called “Little Deaths” because every song represents some type of death - a real death, a death to an idea or value I was holding on to, death to self. With those little deaths comes change and that can feel frightening. Actually the world is just frightening at the moment. “Scared” came out of waking up a lot and feeling afraid of the future and the present. I have always put my trust in God, so this song is about trusting Him, through the awful, amidst this ‘thing that’s going around and making me shake and sweat.’

The music

I wanted to play with some electronic sounds and synths. This felt like a good song to do that with!
