Inside Out
E.L Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Divide your cultured pearls in haste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
And this is not the racy race, they spoke loud

(I believe in what you do)
(I believe in watching you)
(I believe in what you do) it's what you do

(I believe in watching you)

I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do

Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers

(I believe in what you do)
(I believe in watching you)
(I believe in what you do) it's what you do
(I believe in watching you)

(I believe in what you do)
(I believe in watching you) I, I, I, I, I

I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do

I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
I believe in what you do (given the choice)
I believe in watching you (given the heart)
I believe in what you do (given the tool)
I believe in watching you (given the word)
I believe in what you do (given the cheers)
I believe in watching you

I could, I

I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do

Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
Given the cheers
Given the choice

Given the choice
Given the choice

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.L.M.H.'s "The Hole Inside You" are cryptic and abstract, leaving a lot of room for interpretation. At first glance, the lines "Divide your cultured pearls in haste, I'm looking for to lay to waste" seem to be about wasting precious things without a second thought. The following line "Of all the things I cannot taste" may imply that the singer is trying to find something that is beyond material possessions. The line "And this is not the racy race, they spoke loud" suggests that there is a competition going on, but the singer is not interested in participating.

The chorus, with its repetition of "I believe in what you do, I believe in watching you," is particularly puzzling. It can be interpreted as the singer's unwavering trust and faith in someone, but it can also be seen as a creepy and possessive obsession. The lines "I could turn you inside-out, what I choose not to do" further suggest that the singer has some kind of power over the person they are addressing, but they choose not to exercise it.

Overall, "The Hole Inside You" is an enigmatic song that leaves the listener with more questions than answers. It is open to multiple interpretations, and the true meaning of the lyrics may never be fully clear.
