Song – No fear

Get ready to smash your insecurities to the sound of a distorted guitar. This week’s explosive track is a raw, high-energy manifesto for the anxious and the overthinker, drawing direct inspiration from the most powerful line in the Heart Sutra: “심무가애 무가애고 무유공포”—”With attachments in the mind, due to no attachments, and thus no fear.”

The song masterfully charts a journey from internal struggle to ultimate liberation. It begins in the vulnerable, rock-driven verses, confessing universal fears of inadequacy and love lost. But this introspection erupts into a defiant, chant-like chorus where the Korean verse of the Heart Sutra becomes a roaring, crowd-ready battle cry.

Blending the introspective punch of rap with the anthemic power of rock, this track is a sonic rebellion against the “masquerade” of fear. It’s a call to “CTRL-ALT your destiny,” “delete the doubt,” and finally live in “no fear mode.” For anyone who has ever felt chained by their own thoughts, this is your permission to break free, live loud, and embrace the beautiful, unscripted game of life.

Lyrics

Title: No Fear 

Verse 1 (Rock)

I fear… I’m not enough,

So I wear a mask and play it tough.

I fear… if I fall, they’ll laugh,

So I play it off, like I’ve had enough.

I fear… love will fade away,

So I push it back and I keep it at bay.

But I’m tired of this masquerade,

Tired of fearing the fear I made.

Pre-Chorus (Lift)

But isn’t life just a game?
Hit reset and play again.
What’s the use of holding tight,
When the moment’s meant to fly?
If we stumble, if we fall,
We can rise above it all.

Chorus (Chant Rock/Rap Hybrid)

심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
Break the chains inside your head,
Live it loud, no fear, no dread.

Verse 2 (Rap Rock – English dominant)

Fear is a story they taught me to keep,
Locked in my chest, buried so deep.
But walls in the mind are paper-thin,
Tear them apart, let the light pour in.

I’ve been a prisoner of my disguise,
Counting the doubts, repeating the lies.
Now I’m awake, I won’t rewind,
Fear was never more than noise in my mind.

Pre-Chorus (Repeat, fuller)

Isn’t life just a game?
Hit reset and play again.
What’s the use of holding tight,
When the moment’s meant to fly?
If we stumble, if we fall,
We can rise above it all—
Open hearts, open eyes,
Live this dream before it dies.

Chorus (Bigger, repeat)

심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
Break the chains inside your head,
Live it loud, no fear, no dread.

Verse 3 (New – Rap with English swagger)

CTRL-ALT my destiny,
No program’s gonna limit me.
Life’s not perfect, never clean,
It’s a glitch inside the machine.

Delete the doubt, escape the cage,
Step out bold, embrace the stage.
Fear’s a rumor, fear’s a lie,
We’re meant to live before we die.

Bridge (Extended Rock Breakdown)

Fear’s just noise, static in the brain,
Take the leap, nothing real to chain.
The screen reloads, the levels change,
Why not play it wild, insane?

No more silence, no retreat,
Let the drums shake every street.
We were made for more than pain,
Sing it louder, break the chains!

Chorus (Final – layered vocals, chant + rock power)

심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
Break the chains inside your head,
Live it loud, no fear, no dread.
심무가애! 무가애고! 무유공포! (shim mu ga ae mu ga ae goh mu yu gohng poh )
We got nothing, so let’s go!

Outro (Anthemic fade, crowd-shout vibe)

No fear—no fear—no fear mode.
심무가애—no fear mode.
Play the game—just press go.
심무가애—no fear mode.
