About This Track
'Afraid' by David Bowie is a track from 'Heathen' released in 2002. In its verses, the speaker measures themselves against impossible upgrades, smarter, taller, less lost, and insists that “Things really matter to me”, even as they try to turn anxiety into hope. The pre-chorus widens that hope into a kind of communal reassurance, with beliefs that they are not alone and that the soul can grow. The chorus returns to self-doubt, landing on fear as a permanent companion, framed as a feeling that persists rather than a crisis that resolves.
"Afraid" is a track by David Bowie, from the album Heathen, released 10th June 2002. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about David Bowie.
