Scared To Live

The Weeknd's song 'Scared To Live' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics express a sense of regret and acknowledgment of the artist's role in the relationship's demise. The Weeknd, known for his moody and introspective music, often explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth, and this song is no exception.

In 'Scared To Live,' The Weeknd reflects on how his actions may have held his partner back, suggesting that he was aware of the signs that the relationship was not working but chose to keep his partner close regardless. The repeated line 'Should have known you were lonely' indicates a realization that he failed to meet his partner's emotional needs. The song's chorus, 'So don't be scared to live again,' serves as an encouragement for his former lover to move on and find happiness, even if it's without him. It's a message of selflessness, wishing well for someone he cared about, despite the pain of their separation.

The song also touches on the idea of personal transformation. The Weeknd admits he is not the man he used to be and has made mistakes that he kept hidden, which tainted the relationship. The lyrics 'I hope you know that, I hope you know that I've been praying that you find yourself' suggest a desire for his former partner to grow and heal from their shared past. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes love means letting go and hoping the best for the other person, even if it means no longer being a part of their life.
