Firestone is a stoner band from Örebro, Sweden. They toured as a warm-up band for Dio, Alice Cooper and RATT on their tour through Sweden in early 2000.
There are two EPs out to date: Mexicon (2001) and Stonebeliever (2002). They also appeared on the excellent stoner split Fuzzsplit Of The Century (2003) from Fuzzorama Records. They had one song on the stoner collection The Ultimate Fuzzcollection vol. ONE (2004), also from Fuzzorama Records. The song featured on tUFC vol.1 is actually a song that was supposed to be on the Stonebeliever EP, but got cut in post production.

Inside Out
Firestone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know what it means to knot before real
They say you're not afraid but you're gonna pay
But the things you've done when i was having fun
But now it ain't easy 'cause i gotta go
So take me away to another place
From tonight and into today
I'm inside out
I wanna get out and shout
You know how to do when you wanna go
You know what it means when someone is for real
You say you are all right but you are so high
So high above the ground now it's time to come down
But now it ain't easy 'cause i gotta go
So take me away to another place
From tonight and into today
I'm never gonna stay another day in this place
I'm inside out
I wanna get out and shout
I'm inside out
I wanna get out and shout
I've been nothing but wild
Ever since I was a newborn child
How I'm high above the ground
Now it's time for me to get down
Somebody's gonna feed my soul
To know what it means to knot before real
You say you're not afraid but you're gonna pay
I'm inside out
I wanna get out and shout
I'm inside out
I wanna get out and shout
The lyrics to Firestone's song "Inside Out" speak of a desire for freedom and escape from a certain situation or place. The first verse starts by asking if the listener knows what it means to be "kind of free" and "not before real." These phrases suggest a sense of being trapped in a certain circumstance or expectation, but wanting to break free into something more authentic. The singer then refers to someone who has done things they may regret now that the singer is no longer having fun.
The chorus then brings together the idea of being "inside out," which can be interpreted as feeling turned around, out of place, or upside down. The singer wants to "get out and shout," emphasizing their desire to break free and express themselves. The second verse continues with the theme of realness and authenticity, with the singer questioning whether someone really means what they say when they claim to be alright. There is also a reference to coming down from a high, which could be interpreted literally or metaphorically.
The bridge then introduces the idea of someone feeding the singer's soul - perhaps an indication that they are looking for love, support, or guidance from someone who can help them feel more complete. Finally, the chorus repeats, with the singer still feeling inside out and wanting to break free.
