Outside
C.J.ROGERS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I say go you stay
When I say sit you stand
There must be a better way
I'm doing the best that I can

Why can't you be a good boy?
I'm only here to help you
You're causing all this turmoil
Everything's upside-down

Inside outside
You never really quite decide
You're getting on everyone's nerves
From the bottom to the top
I just wish that you would stop
It's the only way that you'll ever learn

It's dinnertime again
Someone has let you in
I hear you loud and clear
You're barking right into my ear

Why can't you be a good boy?
I'm only here to help you
You're causing all this turmoil
Everything's upside-down, yes it is

Inside outside
You never really quite decide
You're getting on everyone's nerves
From the bottom to the top
I just wish that you would stop
It's the only way that you'll ever learn

Inside outside
You never really quite decide
You're getting on everyone's nerves
From the bottom to the top




I just wish that you would stop
It's the only way that you'll ever learn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Outside in" by C.J.ROGERS depict the struggle of dealing with a disobedient and troublesome individual. The singer appears to be someone in a position of authority, perhaps a parent or a teacher, trying to guide and discipline someone who is constantly misbehaving. The repeated lines of "Why can't you be a good boy?" and "I'm only here to help you" show the frustration of the singer, who is trying to help the other person but is constantly met with resistance.


The chorus of "Inside outside, you never really quite decide" suggests that the person being addressed is struggling to find their place and direction in life. They are causing trouble and chaos for others around them, but they themselves are unsure of what they want.


The line "It's the only way that you'll ever learn" suggests that the singer believes that tough love and discipline is the only way to teach the other person how to behave properly. However, this may not necessarily be true, as each person learns in their own unique way.


Overall, the song portrays the struggle of trying to help someone who is constantly misbehaving and causing chaos, and the frustration that comes with it.

Amazing part, I love how TJ does tricks that people usually avoid over huge stairs / gaps, like that Nollie Pop Shove-it or the nollie back 180 over the rail. The whole ES team is so on point at the moment.

Well TJ was always amazing, but these last few years, dude is in his prime, holy moly. Easily one of the best skaters ever, not only by his skating but also his personality. Love this dude! Sending him a lot of power in bad times right now!

The Faded Line

He's always been one of the most talented skaters though like how he switch 180 El Toro like what 11 years ago?

Pierre Ardouin

The synchronicity of landing/beat is a masterclass.
