I think anytime there’s a double meaning, it is likely intended. Keenan is not ignorant to the words that he is using. So it stands to bear that this could have a double meaning, perhaps the title of the segue is simultaneously giving voice against the litany against fear (found originally in the book Dune).
To me it makes sense because there are multiple factions speaking in the lyrics. The one who wants to sleep forever, the betrayer, is likely comfortable in fear. Whereas the higher self wants to be uncomfortable, wants to be inoculated from fear, and wants to progress and not be complacent.
