Aside from the beat that’s worth the LSS, Brave’s lyrics are undeniably strong. Encouraging her listeners to be bold and fearless in battling down their demons, Sara Bareilles made her message in this song clear: “Say what you wanna say, and let the words fall out.”
Decoding the song, braveness isn’t all just taking everything in, consuming every word, lies, and offenses thrown at you. Braveness is about the act of standing up, facing the truth with truer words that you have been keeping for so long. Quoting the song, “don’t run, stop holding your tongue.”
