Inside
55 Escape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling something wrong inside of me
In the winds from the things you say
I feel I'm buring up inside of me
Why do you gonna act this way
I'm feeling something wrong inside of me
Sick and tired of the games you play
I feel I'm burning up inside of me
What side!
I will wake up someday
Wake me up for I drift away
I will wake up someday
Wake me up for I drift away
What side!
I don't know what is wrong today
I'm feeling something wrong inside of me
In the winds from the things you say
I feel I'm buring up inside of me
Why do you gonna act this way
I'm feeling something wrong inside of me
Sick and tired of the games you play
I feel I'm burning up inside of me
What side!
I will wake up someday
Wake me up for I drift away
I will wake up someday
Wake me up for I drift away
What side!
Wake!
I don't know what's wrong today
I take the wind from the things you say
Why do you gonna act this way
Sitting side of the games you play
I don't know what's wrong today
Sick of wind from the things you say
Why do you make me feel this way
Sick and tired of the games you play
What side! (what side)
What side! (what side)
I will wake up someday
Wake me up for I drift away
I will wake up someday
Wake! Me up for I drift away
What side!
The lyrics to 55 Escape's song "Inside" depict a person feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions inside them due to the words and actions of someone else. The repeated stanza of "I don't know what is wrong today // I'm feeling something wrong inside of me // In the winds from the things you say // I feel I'm burning up inside of me" emphasizes the confusion and distress the person is experiencing. The repetition serves to emphasize the intensity of the feelings that the other person's behavior is causing the singer. The lines "Why do you gonna act this way // Sick and tired of the games you play" indicate that this is a long-term issue that is becoming unbearable.
The chorus, "I will wake up someday // Wake me up for I drift away // What side!", seems to suggest that the singer is trying to hold on to themselves and not be swallowed up by their negative feelings. They want to stay present and aware, but they need help doing so. "Wake me up for I drift away" indicates that there is a fear of losing control, and "What side!" seems to imply that the singer is trying to determine which side of themselves they will ultimately land on.
This song is an intense exploration of emotional turmoil, and the lyrics leave plenty of room for interpretation regarding what exactly the other person is doing to cause such pain. The focus remains on the singer and their experience, however, suggesting that they are taking responsibility for their own reaction to the situation.

I'm glad iReapZz puts obscure songs in her videos because it means the bands who wrote and performed them get more fans. If I never watched any of iReapZz's videos chances are I would have never started listening to bands such as Red, Dead by April, I Will Never Be The Same, 55 Escape, We Are The Emergency and Bullet For My Valentine. THANK YOU IREAPZZ FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS FREAKIN' AWESOME MUSIC!!! I also like Skillet and Killswitch Engage by the way :) :D XD ;)

this song is amazing. can't believe I haven't heard this before. Almost reminds me of linkin park with the techno kind of sound and the almost rapper along with a singer/screamer. Must say though, this is alot better lol
