Inside Out
Unraveling the Inner Maze: Gentle Giant's 'Inside Out' Reflections
Lyrics
As I sit, as the world goes 'round,
Contemplating existence while observing the world in motion.
In the room I've known before.
In a familiar space from the past.
Is it me? Am I inside out?
Questioning self-awareness and potential inner turmoil.
In a dream, as I watch the floor.
Experiencing a surreal state, possibly in a dream.
Everywhere, see, they are closing in,
Sensing encroachment from all directions.
(Do I need lifting, do I need lifting.)
Internal inquiry about needing assistance or support.
But you say, no, there's nobody there,
Assurance from someone that there's no one around.
(Do I need lifting, do I need lifting.)
Reiteration of the internal query about needing help.
How the colors seemed so bright,
Reflecting on how colors used to be vibrant.
Now it feels they've lost their glow.
Perceiving a loss of vibrancy in the surroundings.
And the dreams, only nightmares now,
Transformation of dreams into unsettling nightmares.
Images, from down below.
Recollection of disturbing images from the subconscious.
Everything is spinning 'round,
Feeling disoriented as everything spins around.
'Round and 'round I go.
Capturing the cyclical nature of confusion and uncertainty.
(Do I need lifting, do I need lifting.)
Continued questioning about needing assistance.
Where's the door, now I don't know.
Uncertainty about the location of an exit or escape.
(Do I need lifting, do I need lifting.)
Reiterating the uncertainty about needing help.
Funny how I lose control.
Commenting on the humorous aspect of losing control.
Funny how, I don't feel me.
Observing a detachment from one's own identity.
But I do feel I'm inside out.
Affirmation of feeling turned inside out.
But I hear, I feel, I see.
Recognition of sensory experiences despite the internal turmoil.
Everything is getting dark.
Transitioning into darkness, symbolizing a challenging state.
No, please don't lock me in.
Requesting not to be confined or restrained.
Am I here, the light is growing dim.
Questioning existence as the light diminishes.
(Do I need lifting, do I need lifting.)
Reiterating the internal query about needing assistance in the fading light.
