Inside Out
French Braids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah you drive me to the upside down
Girl you push and pull
I'm just looking for some solid ground
My vision blurry, begging for mercy
Why can't we just ride a wave
If i'm being honest, I swear your flawless
Why can't we just ride..
You turn me inside out
I'm on my knees, every time we touch
You turn me inside out
Your body speaks, lets not say too much
We playin' x and oh's
Stop playing round for a moment
Either your hot or your cold
Its just a drop in the ocean
Quick love for the thrill of it
All I need is a little bit
Like fire and ice
Savage at night but were
Cool in the morning
My vision blurry, begging for mercy
Why can't we just ride a wave
If i'm being honest, I swear your flawless
Why can't we just ride..
You turn me inside out
I'm on my knees, every time we touch
You turn me inside out
Your body speaks, lets not say too much
Tempo, lets catch a tempo,
Tell you its simple, lets keep it simple
Let go, body's a temple,
Baby you turn me inside out
The lyrics to French Braids' song Inside Out depict the rollercoaster of emotions that come with a complicated, passionate relationship. The singer is clearly enamored with their lover, but is struggling to find their footing in this dynamic. They feel as though they are constantly being pushed and pulled, and just want to find some stability in the situation. However, they can't help but be drawn to the intense connection they have with their partner, even though it seems to turn their world upside down.
The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and metaphors that capture the intensity of the relationship. For example, the line "You turn me inside out" paints a picture of someone who has been completely undone by their partner. They are on their knees every time they touch, meaning that this person has a powerful hold over them. The reference to playing "x and oh's" adds to this sense of being swept up in a game that they can't quite control. The line "Quick love for the thrill of it" also speaks to the passionate, intense nature of the relationship, suggesting that this isn't a love that's built to last.
All in all, "Inside Out" is a powerful portrayal of a love that is at once exhilarating and exhausting. The lyrics capture the highs and lows of being in such a dynamic, while the music itself adds to the overall sense of tension and intensity.
