Lyrics

Yeah, yeah

Expression of agreement or acknowledgment

I know we're all insane when there's no one else around

Acknowledgment of collective insanity when alone

Yeah, yeah

Repetition of acknowledgment of collective insanity

I know we're all insane when there's no one else,

Reiteration of collective insanity when alone

And there's no one left you can blame

Acknowledgment of the absence of others to blame


In the night I'm on my own

Being alone in the night, expressing detachment

Unglue my mind and burn my telephone

Desire to free the mind and disconnect from communication


I don't wanna go outside

Reluctance to venture outside

I don't wanna go outside inside

Emphasis on the desire to remain indoors

I would rather hide

Explicit preference for hiding rather than facing the outside world


I feel a phantom fly from my fear

Sensation of fear manifested as a phantom

(Ain't goin' nowhere)

Confirmation that the fear is persistent or inescapable

follows the voice I sometimes hear

Reference to a guiding voice related to the fear

(Ain't goin' nowhere)

Confirmation of the inescapable nature of the voice


I don't wanna go outside

Reiteration of reluctance to go outside

I don't wanna go outside inside

Emphasis on the preference for staying indoors

I would rather hide

Strong declaration of the choice to hide


Yeah, yeah

Repetition of acknowledgment of collective insanity

I know we're all insane when there's no one else around

Reiteration of collective insanity when alone

Yeah, yeah

Repetition of acknowledgment of collective insanity

I know we're all insane when there's no one else,

Reiteration of collective insanity when alone

and there's no one left you can blame

Acknowledgment of the absence of others to blame


I think aliens abducted me

Expression of a surreal experience, possibly as a metaphor for feeling disconnected

I close my eyes if I want to see

Choosing to close one's eyes to see, suggesting a desire for introspection


I don't wanna go outside

Reiteration of reluctance to go outside

I don't wanna go outside inside

Emphasis on the desire to stay indoors

I would rather hide

Strong declaration of the choice to hide


I don't wanna go outside

Reiteration of reluctance to go outside

I don't wanna go outside inside

Emphasis on the preference for staying indoors

I would rather hide

Final affirmation of the choice to hide
