Scare Away The Dark Lyrics

Well, sing, sing at the top of your voice
Love without fear in your heart
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can Scare Away The Dark

We wish our weekdays away
Spend our weekends in bed
Drink ourselves stupid
And work ourselves dead
And all just because that's what mom and dad said we should do

We should run through the forest
We should swim in the streams
We should laugh, we should cry
We should love, we should dream
We should stare at the stars and not just the screens
You should hear what I'm saying and know what it means

To sing, sing at the top of your voice
Love without fear in your heart
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

Well, we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter
We wish we weren't losers and liars and quitters
We want something more not just nasty and bitter
We want something real not just hash tags and Twitter

It's the meaning of life and it's streamed live on YouTube
But I bet Gangnam Style will still get more views
We're scared of drowning, flying and shooters
But we're all slowly dying in front of fucking computers

So sing, sing at the top of your voice
Oh, love without fear in your heart
Can you feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

Scare Away The Dark

This song hones in on modern society's obsession with the internet and technology and features anti-technology lines like "we're all slowly dying in front of fu---ng computers."

A regular song in Mike Passenger Rosenberg's live sets the singer performed the song on television for the first time on the March 28, 2014 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The video was directed by James Lee (OneRepublic's "Counting Stars"). The clip features a drab office coming to life with plants and animals. Passenger said: "We had so much fun making it – massive thank you to everybody involved (especially the actors that ran around like naked lunatics in a field in the middle of nowhere on a Monday morning …. LEGENDS !!)"
