No Fear Lyrics – Big Thief

No Fear Lyrics Meaning

The song starts with a calm and peaceful feeling, saying there’s no fear. It paints a picture of a mind that feels light and open, like nothing’s holding it back. It’s the kind of moment where everything inside just feels still and easy. There’s no pressure, no worries—just a simple kind of freedom. That idea of “no time” makes it feel like the present moment stretches forever, like time has melted away and you’re just floating in it. The line about “round like a lime” adds a playful, odd image, like time is a shape or taste, something soft and circular, not something to stress over.

Then it talks about a place that doesn’t seem to exist in the usual way—no furniture, no countries, no usual surroundings. It sounds like a world where nothing is divided up or labeled, almost like being outside of the physical world altogether. And when it says there’s no face that isn’t in your face, it feels like a reminder that everyone’s presence is right there with you, like you’re never really alone and everything is part of you.

Later, the song says that everyone lives and dies in everyone else. That hits deep. It’s like saying we’re all connected—your life touches others and their lives touch yours. Even when people pass away, something of them stays alive in the people they loved. It’s all about connection, unity, and this deep sense that separation is just something we make up.
