On the Outside
On the Outside: Seeking Real Connections in a World of Emptiness
Lyrics
Where were you yesterday, today
Questioning the absence or whereabouts of someone in the past and present.
I'll be face down tonight
Expressing a readiness or expectation to face a difficult situation or emotional turmoil tonight.
Reminiscing with empty containers
Recalling memories with empty containers, possibly symbolic of past experiences or relationships.
That might have some refills left
Suggesting that there might be some opportunities or chances for renewal in those past experiences.
Lost again, and I'm tired of trying
Feeling lost and fatigued from continuous efforts to belong to something that doesn't exist.
To be a part of something that's not there
Expressing frustration about attempting to be part of a non-existent entity or group.
Invitations are spoken freely
Noticing that invitations are freely given, but the speaker's kind is still not accepted.
Still my kind isn't welcomed in
Highlighting the exclusion of the speaker's kind despite the apparent openness of invitations.
I'm on the outside watching
Observing from an outsider's perspective, indicating a sense of detachment or isolation.
I'd hate to end it all so quickly
Expressing a reluctance to end something abruptly, possibly a life, despite challenges.
Some things that never began
Reflecting on things that never started, implying missed opportunities or unrealized potential.
We spent so many days alive
Commenting on the passage of time spent alive without truly experiencing or living life.
And yet we still haven't lived
Emphasizing the paradox of being alive for many days but feeling a lack of fulfillment.
I want something real for me
Expressing a desire for genuine and authentic experiences or relationships.
Somethings that will never go
Seeking something enduring that will never fade away or be lost.
I want a fuckin' guarantee
Expressing a strong desire for assurance or certainty in life.
A live that I don't deserve
Acknowledging a feeling of not deserving the kind of life desired.
