Are you also frightened?

I must admit, Animal Collective is one of my all-time fave bands. I feel like I relate the title lyric of this song back to feelings about the hugeness of our future together and how badly I want my dreams about us to come true and feeling like we are in it together but nervous just the same...

  2. it's also very much about being nervous about being parents duh....

    lyrics say (roughly):

    If they're awake till the dawn
    We won't fret they don't have our eyes
    Ghosting, crawling around but I
    Won't be slept on our side
    From our window to lanterns
    Go signs on the night
    And letters and shadows
    Go watch with the light
    I want to be who they will be
    To be more like their dad

    Will it just be like they're dreaming?
    Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
    Will it just be like they're dreaming?
    Will it be just like I'm dreaming?

    If the wind is threatenin'
    Maybe I should bath them
    Maybe we should let them
    And I have a question:

    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
    ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?

    No one should call you a dreamer
    No one should call you a dreamer
    No one should call you a dreamer
    Now

  3. I am not afraid of the future. I am afraid of not being as good as I can be, I think whatever happens is what is ment to happen. I feel we control our fates to a certain extent, however I think circumstance has a lot of control over our futures.

    Things might be hard, things might get very hard, but I am not afraid to grow, I will do everything I possibly can to ensure my children have the tools to have a better life then me.

    My dreams are always changing, and always becoming closer and farther at the same time, but I am not afraid.

  4. My (our) dreams.

    You can drive yourself crazy worrying about the future, I've spent a lot of time doing it, and now I embrace all of it with open arms.
