Egyptian Song (aka Nothing To Fear)
By Melissa (Stardust)


Egyptian Song or Nothing To Fear as it's usually called, is a Radiohead song written around 1998 (or during Ok Computer). It's unclear on what the song's about, but it reminded me of the afterlife. I really think this song is beautiful, but it depends on people I guess. If you want to hear the song, comment or rant to me of this
let me know. Word of note, people still call this song Nothing To Fear even though the song title was changed to Egyptian Song.
Radiohead's lyrics, or Gundam Wing isn't mine. And I dont want to own my favorite band...that would be wrong..Having clones of them would be just plain strange, yet delightful...^_^

Note-
Italics is the song lyrics

Wufei sat up in the bed, After 10 days of his coma, Duo was getting worried.

"Wufei..." Duo began to say.

"No. I don't I'll stay for very long" he replied.

"Please-"

"I'm 30 yrs old..I have lived my life"

"Wufei, 30 is still young"

"We've been together for so many years"

"Yet married for a year"

"Still we've been together none or less..."

"Duo. I want to die early"

"No Please! It's just cancer, you'll get through it!" Duo pleaded.

"I don't want to be a bother to you"

Duo started to cry. Wufei held him. This was a hard decision, yet what could he really do?

When Duo went to the store the next morning, Wufei acted kind of strange. He felt werid like something bad was going to happen...he even answered a good-bye...

Wufei sat on the lake. He didn't want his decision painfull or too terrible for Duo to deal with. He already wrote his good-bye to Duo and the rest of the ex-pilots, they woul understand...

I jumped in the river

The air around him started to cave in. His last words-"We'll meet again my love"

black-eyed angels swimming with me

His soul was guided by beautiful angels swimming with him. Their black eyes, reflecting against the water and on him. Onyx to Onyx.

a moon full of stars and astral cars

Wufei came up out of the water to a beach at night with the full moon filled with astral cars and stars. So this is heaven?

all the figures I used to see

He looked onto the distance...he thought he saw someone he once knew...

all my lovers were there with me

It was Meridan....

all my past and futures

Meridan and...Duo? He looked the same as how he left him...

and all went to heaven in a little rowboat

They both lead him to a little rowboat. The water was shimmering blue, contrasting with the sky. Leading him into heaven. Loved ones looking after him...

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Duo came home to an uneasy silence. He went straight to the living room to find a note where he left Wufei. He read it. His heart started to beat fast. Maybe he could catch up with him before he made a terrible mistake...the doctors have found a cure for him...he ran out to the lake out back...he saw Wufei's body floating at the top of the waterm his black eyes looking at him. Duo couldn't live without his love. He went out to the dock, spread his arms out and looked out toward the sky.

I jumped in the river

He smiled as his heartbeat slowed down. He knew where he belonged. "My love" he spoke with his last breath of air.
His soul was guided underwater.

black-eyed angeld swimming with me

Their onyx eyes reminded him of Wufei...

a moon full of stars and astral cars

The moon shone brightly once he was on shore. Astral projection cars and stars in a moon...he laughed. Only in his afterlife.

all the figures I used to see

He saw a familar person standing out by the trees...

all my lovers were there with me

"Wufei..." he said. Wufei looked even more beautiful than he left the world.

all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat


Wufei held him and lead him to a little rowboat. Their reflections, gleaming back at them. No speech was spoken. Duo didn't mind. All he knew that he was with his love. They were happy now...Wufei held his hand and smiled at him. The others would understand.

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
