Inside
Journey Within: Unveiling Hidden Realms in 'Inside'
Lyrics
Abandoned on my cross
Feeling abandoned and burdened, possibly in a difficult situation.
Around the corner from the corner of your eye
Being unnoticed or ignored, hidden from direct sight.
Don't be surprised if I should
Expectation of unconventional actions, preparing the listener for a shift.
Slightly cross the line
Stepping beyond societal or personal boundaries.
And slowly glide you through the border
Guiding someone through a boundary they denied existed.
That you claimed was never ever there
Pointing out a place or truth that was denied or ignored.
A place you never wished to share
Refusal to share a hidden or personal space with others.
Inside inside
Emphasizing the exploration of the inner self or hidden aspects.
Ankles crossed like fair Victoria
Referencing a pose associated with modesty or virtue.
For the glory of the empire
Alluding to a grandiose act or sacrifice for a greater cause.
Kneels examining the floor
Examining the consequences or aftermath of an action.
Retreats on cushions
Withdrawing or retreating in comfort, leaving the observer alone.
Leaves you staring at a mirror
Confronting one's own reflection, likely revealing imperfections.
That's all cracks and curves on all sides
The mirror symbolizes self-awareness, showing flaws from all angles.
Inside inside
Reiterating the focus on inner exploration and self-discovery.
There's no hiding in this palace of your soul
No ability to conceal truths within the inner self.
It stretches far beyond the walls
Inner self extends beyond self-imposed limitations.
That you created
Acknowledging personal responsibility for one's situation.
But it's smaller than the hole
The inner self is smaller than the apparent problems or challenges.
Which you lie in now
Lying in a difficult situation, possibly feeling trapped.
If you could find the courage just
Encouraging bravery to explore deeper aspects of oneself.
To dig a little deeper
Suggesting a need for introspection and self-discovery.
Inside inside inside inside
Repetition emphasizes the focus on the internal realm.
(over here, deeper", over here
Encouraging further exploration, possibly by an external voice.
Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper)
Repeated call to delve deeper into one's inner self.
Inside inside
Final reinforcement of the theme of inner exploration.
