Inside
Cone Of Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rear the deep blackness you will find, that there is much more to descry
Scratch the surface
Pierce it through
Open up your mind
Don't dig to deep
Get mad for fear
It's inside all of us
It cannot be denied
To be shure - caged inside
Just push the hidden buttons or speak the magic words
And see what will be released
What should have stayed inside
Yeah! And once you know what sleeps inside your inner shell
Let loose control and watch yourself act with your demons by your side
Your mind is free
The sight is sharp
Everything is clear
Lean back yourself
And let it happen
Release your fears
It's inside all of us
It cannot be denied
To be shure - caged inside
Just push the hidden buttons or speak the magic words
And see what will be released
You lie to yourself
Suppress what is a part of you
Yeah, once released the secrets deep inside
Hard to take control again
In the neverending fight
The song "Inside" by Cone Of Silence is about self-exploration and the idea that there is more to each individual than what is seen on the surface. The lyrics urge the listener to scratch the surface and open up their mind to discover what is truly inside. However, there is also a warning to not dig too deep and be aware of the potential fear that can arise when exploring the unknown. The idea is that everyone has something inside of them that is waiting to be released, and by pushing the hidden buttons or speaking the magic words, one can unlock their hidden potential. The song suggests that once this inner self is revealed, it can be a powerful force that should not be suppressed, but rather embraced.
The lyrics paint a picture of coming face to face with one's own demons and learning to live alongside them. The advice is to let go of control and let things happen, release fears, and allow whatever is inside to be released. The song acknowledges that this process is not easy, and once the secrets inside are released, it can be a never-ending fight to maintain control. Overall, the message of the song is that everyone has the potential to be more than what they currently are, and it is up to each individual to unlock that potential and live their life to the fullest.
