DEEP INSIDE
Fatal Flowers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't a man of too many words
And there are things I find hard to say
So when you misread me baby time after time
Well I know I got myself to blame
'Cause I want a little of this and then a little of that
And sometimes I'm happy with the things that I have
Ooh and sometimes baby I just don't know
And sometimes I wonder baby does it show

Sometimes I walk home late at night
I wanna have everything that ain't mine
And sometimes I can just look at the sky
And let the whole world pass me by
Ooh and I wanna stay out all night, I wanna see the sun rise
I couldn't care less wheter I live or die
He do you know, I said baby does it show
Baby, baby do you know
Baby do you know about the things I try to hide
And do you know about the things that are goin' on deep down inside

Sometimes my mind wonders off
And I wonder does it show
And sometimes I just can't get enough of you
And I wander do you know?
Hey do you know, I said baby does it show
Baby, baby do you know

Baby do you know about the things I try to hide
And do you know about the things that are goin' on deep down inside





Baby do you know about the things I try to hide
And do you know about the things that are goin' on deep down inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Deep Inside" by Fatal Flowers express the struggle of the singer to express themselves fully to their partner. The singer admits to being "a man of too many words" and finding it difficult to communicate their emotions, leading to their partner misreading their intentions. The singer confesses to wanting "a little of this and then a little of that," being content at times with what they have but not knowing what they truly want. The lyrics also reveal the singer's desire to escape reality, even if it means risking their life, and their fear that their partner may not fully understand the things they try to hide deep inside.


The theme of communication and the struggle to express oneself is a common thread in many Fatal Flowers songs. "Deep Inside" is a prime example of the 80s Dutch rock group's introspective and thoughtful approach to music. The lyrics are rich in symbolism, with the sky representing freedom, and the desire to stay out all night symbolizing a longing to live life on one's own terms. The song is a poignant reflection on the human condition, exploring themes of longing and existential angst.


Line by Line Meaning

I ain't a man of too many words
I don't talk much


And there are things I find hard to say
Some things are difficult for me to express


So when you misread me baby time after time
When you misunderstand me repeatedly


Well I know I got myself to blame
I admit fault for not communicating well


'Cause I want a little of this and then a little of that
I have many desires that keep changing


And sometimes I'm happy with the things that I have
But I can also be content with what I already possess


Ooh and sometimes baby I just don't know
At times I'm unsure about my feelings


And sometimes I wonder baby does it show
I question if my emotions are obvious


Sometimes I walk home late at night
I occasionally go for late night walks


I wanna have everything that ain't mine
I desire things that don't belong to me


And sometimes I can just look at the sky
Nature can captivate me


And let the whole world pass me by
I can lose time observing my surroundings


Ooh and I wanna stay out all night, I wanna see the sun rise
I long to experience a prolonged night and witness the dawn


I couldn't care less wheter I live or die
My mood can fluctuate between apathy and zeal


He do you know, I said baby does it show
I ask if you're aware of these changing emotions


Baby, baby do you know
I reiterate my question for emphasis


Baby do you know about the things I try to hide
I ask if you're aware of my secrets


And do you know about the things that are goin' on deep down inside
I ask if you're aware of the complex emotions beneath the surface


Sometimes my mind wonders off
My thoughts can stray


And I wonder does it show
I question if my distraction is noticeable


And sometimes I just can't get enough of you
I can become infatuated with you


And I wander do you know?
I ask if you're aware of my feelings for you

Hi, I am a Japanese rock fan. I used to hear this song over 20 years ago and am very glad to find this in YouTube. I love Vic Maile's sound and shared this in my weblog to introduce Fatal Flowers. Thank you.
