Outside of You
Breaking Chains: Unveiling Inner Strength in Louise Distras' 'Outside of You'
Lyrics
You stare in the mirror watching yourself cry
You observe your own reflection while tears fall.
Dream of the day that you say goodbye
You fantasize about the moment you can bid farewell.
Outside of you
Externally, apart from your inner self.
You are not afraid, innocence you gave
You display fearlessness, offering your innocence.
But you're still here no matter what they say
Despite opinions, you persist, disregarding judgment.
No matter what your dreams may say
Your dreams remain resilient, unaffected by external factors.
Forgive and forget pain and regret
Advocate for letting go of pain and regret through forgiveness.
Why do you feel this way?
Questioning the source of your current emotional state.
Because the feelings that they have well you don't have
Others possess emotions you lack, contributing to your feelings.
The things that they say you would never say
Rejecting words they utter that you wouldn't express.
This isn't what you want so you escape
Your current situation isn't your desire, prompting escape.
Inside of you
Internally, within yourself.
Emotions that they break, reasons that they fake
Emotions are shattered, reasons presented are false.
Inside of you
Demons confront you, and lies become unbearable.
Demons that you face, lies you cannot take
Confronting the harsh reality and acknowledging lies.
Justify the truth
Justify the truth to yourself.
It's time to walk away
It's time to distance yourself from the current situation.
Why do you stay when you should go?
Questioning the decision to remain instead of leaving.
When shadows speak you're not alone
In moments of uncertainty, the shadows offer companionship.
Is it me? Is it you? Is it lies or is it truth?
Uncertainty about the nature of the situation—lies or truth.
When shadows speak you're not alone
The shadows assure you that you're not isolated.
Why do you stay when you should go?
Repeating the internal conflict of staying versus leaving.
Outside of you
Externally, apart from your inner self (repeated).
You are not afraid, innocence you gave
You exhibit fearlessness, offering your innocence (repeated).
But you're still here no matter what they say
Despite opinions, you persist, disregarding judgment (repeated).
Why do you stay when you should go?
Reiterating the internal struggle of staying versus leaving.
When shadows speak you're not alone
The shadows confirm you are not facing challenges alone.
Is it me? Is it you? Is it lies or is it truth?
Questioning the authenticity of the situation—me, you, lies, or truth.
When shadows speak you're not alone
The shadows reassure you that solitude is not your reality.
You're not alone
Repeated affirmation that you are not alone, emphasizing support.
You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone
Final reassurance that you are not alone.
