Outside
Dekleyn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my, just wait outside
Your favorite song, it starts come on and
Buy them on your stream
A nervous touch with an empty high
Your silence could fill the room
I know that you feel it too
′Cause you and I we both know
How deep we dive to new lows

When everything's coming down
Save your breath, hear me out

So why′d you say that we run and hide?
All these little things to find trust
Everything was clear what saves us
The truth is I just don't know
How few things thrive that don't go
Hold your breath, we′re alive
Save and rest for tonight

Do you want to stay?
Move away, move away
Do you want to stay?
When I move away, I move away
Do you want to stay?
Move away, move away
Do you want to stay?
When I move away, I move away
Do you want to stay?
Move away, move away
Do you want to stay?
When I move away, I move away

Do you want to stay?
Do you want to stay?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dekleyn's song, "Outside," seem to portray a relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The first verse starts off by setting the scene, with one person waiting outside while the other is inside enjoying their favorite song. There appears to be a lack of communication or connection between the two individuals, as reflected in the "nervous touch" and "empty high" that are mentioned. Despite the tension, there is still a sense that they both understand the weight of the situation, as they have "dived to new lows" together before. The chorus expresses confusion and uncertainty about the future of the relationship, with the singer questioning why they should "run and hide" and whether or not they can still "find trust." The final section repeats the question "do you want to stay?" several times, emphasizing the desperation and importance of the decision facing both partners.

Overall, "Outside" seems to be a bittersweet meditation on the fragility of relationships and the difficulty of holding onto love in the face of adversity. The lyrics are emotional and raw, with a sense of honesty and vulnerability that makes them relatable to anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of romantic love.
