Lyrics
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the parkWhen the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's darkFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always thereHave you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching youFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always thereHave you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone thereFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always thereFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the darkFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the darkWatching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behindFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always thereFear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always thereWhen I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone
A music is about medo da scuridão, which enhances visões de assombrações, supernatural figures and deliriums.
O nome scientist for the condition of the dark and the night and the nyctophobia. This is a fairly frequent disorder in children and adults who seem to be overwhelmed in light environments, afraid that something will arise from the leak.
Or author of music, Steve Harris, has that characteristic.
Or main personagem gives music and a homem that fears dark. While walking around, in a park, during the night, he had strange sensations and was afraid to be the victim of horrifying creatures that he decided to amaze.
To music and started with the location of the subject, not nominated, no tempo (à noite) and no space (no dark streets):
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
He is totally paranoid because to his imagination he is working além do tempo. Second or own composer, a song about being com medo, but not knowing what to do.
Everyone fears a secret half of something, that many times it is nem dry with defined contours. Or verse
I have constant fear that something's always near
It is quite open a time that "something" can mean any kind of thing, from or half of sorrowful souls passing through assombrações, monsters to any kind of paranormal creatures.
Steve Harris' lyrics intentionally not only what provokes medo, it is a way for each one to project into the song their own individual fears.
Or verse "I have a phobia that someone's always there" repeats another quite vague word: "someone" wants to say something and can be used to refer to different types of entities.
Or dark inspires medo and anxiety not just to be next to outside - na rua or in a park - e vê a noite fall.
It is also supposedly safe between four walls or panic can arise, and that suggests the letter when or personagem can not find a light switch, such a frequent and everyday situation:
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
O medo é result gives imaginação da pessoa that, stimulated by horror films or casual conversations about supernatural creatures, engenders elements that do not already exist.
In the shadow is an example given by Harris of something that can pass unseen or, from that point of view, make it possible to imagine scary entities. The composer himself acknowledges:
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
It may tell your mind to be playing tricks.

Translation
Sou um homem that walks sozinho
And when I'm on a dark road
De noite ou strolling the park hair
When you light up, I'm starting to move
Sometimes I feel a little stranger
Um little anxious when it's dark
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a constant means that something is always missing
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a phobia that someone is here
Você já run your fingers pela parede
And I felt like the nape of his neck regret
When was she trying to deliver?
Some times when you are eaten by olhar
I do not sing in the room
You say that somebody else is watching you
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a constant means that something is always missing
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a phobia that someone is here
Você sometime já esteve sozinho a noite
I thought that ouviu steps behind you
Have you ever been there?
E, as your step accelerates
Você acha difficult olhar novamente
Because I am certain that someone is there
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a constant means that something is always missing
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a phobia that someone is here
Medium do dark
Medium do dark
Medium do dark
Medium do dark
Medium do dark

Medium do dark
Attending horror films na noite anterior
Falando sobre bruxas and folklore
The problems unfamiliar in your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You say, and suddenly serious olhos fixam
In dancing shadows do além
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a constant means that something is always missing
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a phobia that someone is here
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a constant means that something is always missing
Half of dark, half of dark
I have a phobia that someone is here
And when I'm on a dark road
Sou um homem that walks sozinho

Or I do not pick my hair together from a reference to an instrument of medieval torture.
Also by Steve Harris I did not bass and no vocal backing, the band was composed by Nicho Mcbrain on drums, Bruce Dickinson vocais e Dave Murray and Janick Gers on guitars.
Or vocalist of the band, Bruce Dickinson, a professor of History, I confess you ao long days ago interviews that he gives on the ensemble, that I always intuit was to create music with an epic and mythological.
Logo after launching Fear of the dark, Bruce Dickinson resolved to continue his career alone, having been replaced by Blaze Bayblade. About the band's saida, Bruce affirmed in an interview with Kerrang! Magazine:
I have a minha version of two events and elem a dele. Tudo is summarized as você vê or world. For Steve, or Maiden, this is more important than anything else. For me, do some things that are more important than a band. I did not know that it would be a great thing when I came, but also that I saw the box and olhei for the public and I thought 'M **! It was eu running around astonishing like a tolo, or public going to think: "What an idiot! He is so happy, why is he indo embora? "And they are wandering around looking miserable, they wonder why they will pay 20 pounds for an income to see a trickster.
Eu sack cheio. Some noites or public were hostile. It was like fazer um show em um watch! Some noites in the gostava, but others in the gostava were thinking, 'eu gostaria not to be here!'.
Not at the moment that Deixei or Maiden, fiz um I agree with myself that there is no faria never more anything that I did not credit. Steve and us are always in the habit of confronting each other. (...) Depois de um show em Newcastle in 82, we are going to go, we are still with the sleeves arranged. But we learn to viver um as outro. E se Steve não tivesse essa personalidade, or Maiden would never exist
