The Outside
Dreamhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
are the words I cannot stitch together
in a sentence to save my life
I try to speak but I am weak
I'm caving in, I'm caving in
I shouldn't let false thoughts I've built up hit so low
On the outside, are pictures of my insides stapled on
They say more than I ever could with words
They talk for me
Haunting me as I run
through the dirt escaping from refinement
and the way things should be
I'm a disaster but at least I know
I've found my peace in letting go
I shouldn't let false thoughts I've built up hit so low
On the outside, are pictures of my insides stapled on
They say more than I ever could with words
They talk for me
I shouldn't let false thoughts I've built up hit so low
On the outside, are pictures of my insides stapled on
They say more than I ever could with words
They talk for me
The lyrics to Dreamhouse's song "The Outside" seem to be describing a struggle with communication and self-expression. The singer is haunted by words that they can't seem to put together cohesively, and as a result, they feel weak and unable to speak. However, the singer finds some solace in the fact that images of their insides are on display on the outside, and these images speak for them in a way that words can't seem to accomplish.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of conflict between what the world expects from the singer and what they feel inside. There are references to "the way things should be" and the singer running through the dirt to escape from refinement. The overall message of the song seems to be about finding peace in letting go of these expectations and falsehoods, and allowing oneself to be seen for who they truly are.
One interesting aspect of the song is the use of imagery. The idea of pictures of one's insides being stapled onto the outside is a unique and powerful way to express the idea of being vulnerable and exposed. Additionally, the repeated line "They say more than I ever could with words" underscores the importance of non-verbal communication.
