Fear is a natural emotion. In fact, it is one of only six human emotions. Fear can be a really healthy thing, especially when it motivates you to push the boundaries and get out of your comfort zone. But what about when your own fear is used against you? When it is amplified with the intent to spur a defensive action?
This kind of manipulation is a staple of modern advertising. They “fill you with fear” in order to “sell you freedom from something.” It’s so embedded in our culture that it’s hard to avoid. I like that this song is aware of—and resents—the manipulation, but kind of gives in anyway.
