Turning Inward
Boy Hits Car Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turning in widows of life
Fearing what else I'm doing
pondering a world of hope
watching the flying doves
but say farewell to faith
and tomorrow's dream of life
cuz merely today is
the day that I will die

so don't forget me
if we don't make it
cuz I'm so scared
standing naked

maybe one day I'll figure out
what is going on inside
my kind grows so angry
sometimes feels good to cry
and can you feel the void between us
I guess I'm the one to blame for this
Maybe one day we'll meet again
Losing ourself in the seas

The city is left

don't forget me
if we don't make it
cuz I'm so scared
standing naked

and I can't feel the pain
of this world and want to
become as wide as
the shy and forest

Just one last caress
Of a pacific
we can be one tonight
through the pain and the fight
just one last caress
of a pacific
we can be one tonight
through the pain and the fight

turning inward cuz I feel
sometimes the ones we ale
an image of the rest
two words unable to mesh
so let your flesh devour our dead skin
leaving us fresh and free from old sin
maybe we'll have one last caress
like it will be our last breath
so

don't forget me
if we don't make it
cuz I'm so scared
standing naked

don't forget me
if we don't make it
cuz I'm so scared
standing naked

and I can't feel the pain
of this world and want to
become as wide as
the shy and forest

Just one last caress
Of a pacific
we can be one tonight
through the pain and the fight
just one last caress
of a pacific
we can be one tonight
through the pain and the fight

Just one last caress
Of the Pacific




we can be one tonight
through the pain and the fight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Turning Inward" by Boy Hits Car convey feelings of fear, uncertainty, and introspection. The singer is struggling to understand their place in the world and reconcile their mortality. They question faith and the meaning of life, all while acknowledging their own vulnerability.


The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song - the singer is turning inward, away from the world around them. The flying doves serve as a symbol of hope, offering a sense of peace and freedom in the midst of the singer's turmoil. However, this hope is short-lived, as the singer realizes that today could be the day they die. This realization is what drives their fear, and they implore the listener not to forget them if they don't make it.


The second verse explores the singer's struggle with anger and isolation, as well as their desire for connection. They recognize that they are often the source of their own problems, but still long for a sense of unity with others. The repetition of the plea not to forget them drives home the idea that the singer is afraid of being alone and forgotten.


Overall, "Turning Inward" is a poignant reflection on the human condition, and the fear that we all face when confronting our own mortality.
