Inside Out
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna hear your motherfuckin' side
You can love it or you can leave it
Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right
Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
There's no denying it, you've never had control
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
So you can wipe it away, that silly fuckin' grin
If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear
Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear
If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere
Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear
There's no denying it, I've always had control
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
(Inside out)
How you've turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out
How you've turned me inside out
I'm inside out
So inside out
I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out
The song Inside Out by Five Finger Death Punch talks about a person's struggle to maintain their identity and self-worth in the face of those who try to control them. The lyrics express a sense of frustration towards someone who doesn't understand the pain they're going through and instead holds out their hand for something they don't deserve. The singer asserts their own power and control, saying that even if they wanted to explain themselves, the other person wouldn't be able to understand the difference between violence and pain.
The chorus reveals how the singer feels about being left alone to deal with their struggles, feeling like they're inside out and turned upside down. They've always had control and knew that the other person was wrong for leaving them when they were down. The singer wants the person to acknowledge that it was never really them but the other person who turned and walked away, causing them to feel weak and vulnerable. The song overall is about standing up for oneself and rejecting those who try to control or manipulate them.
Line by Line Meaning
Take it, I don't need it
I don't want what you have to offer
I don't wanna hear your motherfuckin' side
I don't want to listen to your perspective
You can love it or you can leave it
You can either accept it or walk away
Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right
Nobody can understand what I say or feel
Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
It's impossible for you to comprehend
While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
I'm struggling while you're doing nothing to help
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
Even if I tried, it wouldn't make sense to you
'Cause you don't know the difference between violence and pain
You can't distinguish between the two concepts
There's no denying it, you've never had control
You've always been powerless
I stand alone
I'm always by myself
Guess I knew it all along
I've always known the truth
Yes I knew that you were wrong
I was aware of your mistake
How you left when I was down
You abandoned me when I was vulnerable
I want you to say
I need you to admit
It was never really me
You didn't actually care about me
You just turned and walked away
You left without looking back
How you turned me inside out
You've completely changed me
I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
I'm not someone you can control
It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
Money can't buy my loyalty or silence
I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
I care now, but I didn't before
So you can wipe it away, that silly fuckin' grin
You can stop pretending to be happy
If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear
Would you be able to comprehend it if I explained it to you?
Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear
Would you even listen, or would it be a waste of time?
If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere
Would you doubt my honesty if I took my time to explain?
Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear
I'll never back down or show weakness
There's no denying it, I've always had control
I've always had power over my own life
How you've turned me inside out
You've completely transformed me
I'm inside out
I'm a completely different person now

You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out

Alex Finch
This honestly feels like a message to friends and family who refuse to understand PTSD, depression, abuse victims, and everything else.
It's an awesome song. Thank you 5FDP!
High Octane
Alex Finch the worst part is I think those people do understand it. They’re just twisted enough that they don’t give a shit no matter how much someone’s demons are drowning them and that’s actually pretty scary.
Syr Nikoli The Bastardous
@High Octane in some cases yes but others you should feel the same because maybe they have even more demons, and if they don't give a shit, it's inneffective to them, who knows how many bullets they can take
High Octane
Torthagnatharak Tharak'Kragthagath lol I think you're missing the point of the PTSD part. Nobody has more demons than someone who has that, and that's something that will take you under faster than anything. Most who have that wont even bother to say anything because they're pissed they have it and they've already tried to reach for help. Another is exactly like you said they don't want to pass it on to anyone. It's the fact people wake up and those with the disorder take their own life and family and friends are left to wonder what happened. I wasnt referring to two people who both have PTSD that's a whole other ball game.
