Inside You
Corroded Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It all comes tumbling down
No vital parts remain
I think I am insane
Crack the code of my own skin
All the signs are there
And I see them everywhere

I just want you to reveal
I just want you to reveal
I just want you to reveal

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

Mirror shows my evil twin
In darkness all comes clear
And now I see your fear
Self-indulgence is a sin
You are a tool to me
What would you last words be?

I just want you to reveal
I just want you to reveal
I just want you to reveal

What's inside you? (Wanna know)

What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

I just want you to reveal

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)
What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

What's inside you? (Wanna know)
What's inside you? (Gotta know)




What's inside you?
I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Corroded's song "Inside You" delve into the themes of self-reflection, self-discovery, and the desire to know and understand others at a deeper level. It starts with the singer describing the crumbling of oneself and the feeling of being insane. The next few lines that say "Crack the code of my own skin, all the signs are there, and I see them everywhere" depict the desire of the singer to understand oneself better and possibly fix whatever is wrong. The chorus then comes in with the repeated lines "What's inside you? (Wanna know) What's inside you? (Gotta know) What's inside you? I want to know what you hear, what you smell, what you taste like," which show that the singer wants to understand the person they are singing to better. The second stanza talks about how the mirror reflects the evil twin, and the darkness makes everything clearer, including the fear of the other person. The line "self-indulgence is a sin" indicates how the other person sees themselves for being what they are, a window into their inner self. The final chorus repeats the question from the beginning and continues to express the need to know the other person's thoughts and senses.


The song's message seems to be about empathy and the desire to understand others at a deeper level. The singer seems to be asking the other person to reveal themselves truly, letting down their guard and sharing what they hear, smell, and taste like. At the same time, the lyrics hint that self-discovery is an equally important part of the journey, and understanding oneself before understanding others is essential.
