question
translation meaning song-lyrics
What is the role of そうよ in そうよ存外怖くはないわ?
そうよ just means "That's right" or "Yes" (or [sometimes
"No"](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2908/5010) in a negative sentence).
そう means "so" or "that way", and よ is a sentence-end particle (sounds feminine
[because it directly follows a
noun](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/12987/5010)).

If this is taken from [this
song](https://www5.atwiki.jp/hmiku/pages/33080.html), this そうよ is simply used
to emphasize 怖くはない -- " **No** , I'm not afraid". (Please always try to
include the link to the original song; it's often difficult to interpret a
line from a song unless we have the whole context.)
