Outside
Echoes of Desperation: A Cry for Revolution in @MYTheClap's 'Outside'
Lyrics
Empty streets and silent stations
Describes desolate streets and quiet train stations, emphasizing emptiness.
Closed down storefronts echo cries of desperation
Closed shops amplify the sounds of desperation, reflecting a challenging situation.
A broken man with his hand out for a handout
Depicts a shattered individual seeking assistance, symbolizing personal and societal breakdown.
He tried to keep it all together this hell goes on forever and he just can't find a way out
Expresses the struggle to maintain composure in an enduring, seemingly endless hardship.
We built our world on broken promises and dreams
Our world is constructed on unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams.
As times get hard and we're torn apart by the darkness closing in
Hard times and encroaching darkness lead to emotional separation and discord.
When I can finally feel the sunshine on my skin
Anticipates a moment of relief, feeling sunlight on the skin, indicating a positive change.
I'll be on the outside looking in
Despite the positive shift, the singer will remain an outsider, separated from the mainstream.
The rich man's lies bring no salvation
Rejects the idea that the lies of the wealthy offer salvation, highlighting their misleading nature.
They keep us blind to this hopeless situation
Rich individuals blind society to a grim reality, creating a seemingly hopeless situation.
We've lost our faith in the God-man and his pulpit
Portrays a loss of faith in religious leaders (God-man and his pulpit) and their guidance.
Preaching bout the camel through the eye of the needle
References a religious metaphor about the difficulty of the wealthy entering heaven, criticizing hypocrisy.
Selling hate and getting rich off it
Accuses those preaching hate and profiting from it, condemning the exploitation of negativity.
We built our world on broken promises and dreams
Reiterates the foundation of society on unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams.
As times get hard and we're torn apart by the darkness closing in
Amidst hardship, relationships fracture as darkness surrounds, emphasizing emotional turmoil.
When I can finally feel the sunshine on my skin
Anticipates a positive change when the singer can feel sunlight on their skin.
I'll be on the outside looking in
Despite the positive shift, the singer will continue to be an outsider.
