Inside Out
Aleem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got scars that run so deep, baby gonna show you tonight
Tell you my secrets, but can you ceep them
I got skeletons in my closet, that i gotta fight tonight.
Telling me to wake up out this bed
You know that i'm broken, but baby been trying to turn me inside out
I keep hearing whispers in the dark
Telling me to break you pretty heart
You know that i'm broken, but baby only you can turn me inside out
I've got shaddows creeping up when i go into the light
You keep asking what's in the darkest corners of my mind
I'm barely breating
And I'm not sleeping
You keep saying i'm down and distant and i can't deny or fight.
I keep hearing voices in my head Telling me to wake up out this bed
You know that i'm broken, but baby been trying to turn me inside out
I keep hearing whispers in the dark
Telling me to break you pretty heart
You know that i'm broken, but baby only you can turn me inside out
Tell you my secrets but can you keep them
I'm barely breathing and i'm not sleeping
I hear those voices
I hear those whispers
I'm loosing focus
You're getting farther
Telling me to wake up out this bed
You know that i'm broken, but baby been trying to turn me inside out
Keep hearing whispers in the dark
Telling me to break you pretty heart
You know that i'm broken, but baby only you can turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
The lyrics to Aleem's song, "Inside Out," describe a person who is struggling with inner demons, hiding their scars and skeletons in the closet. They reveal that they hear voices in their head and whispers in the dark that are affecting their mental state. The person is broken and barely breathing, and they are always battling to keep their demons and struggles at bay.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that although the person is broken, their love interest has been trying to turn them inside out, to take their pain and help them heal. The person acknowledges that only their partner can turn them inside out and reveal their true self.
Overall, the song speaks about the importance of having someone to confide in during difficult times and that love and support can help bring healing to one's inner demons.
