Living Inside
HOOSH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth is i've been working cause it hurts
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause I didn't and it paralyzed me first
They say put in work
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
And lately i've been feeling like a different person
Spiritually healing but deep down it's hurting
Maybe it's the weed or how unfucking certain
It is I succeed or whether this shit's worth it
I'm so tired of not seeing change
Man i'm so tired of fucking up with all these dames
Stuck in a rut I look at myself and feel estranged
But see that apart of me was never willing to change
They say damn you put in work
Truth is I've been working cause it hurts
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
They say put in work
Truth is i've been working cause it hurts
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
And all these memories they're swimming to the surface
Tryna reason with regret but then it worsens
Introspective but reflection serves no purpose
When you learn to view yourself as being worthless
I'm so tired of not having change
Bills keep on piling will i manage out the weight
Dig deep inside of me and just focus on the day
Ignore emotions and keep my focus on the paper
They say damn you put in work
Truth is i've been working cause it hurts
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
They say put in work
Truth is I've been working cause it hurts
And the Only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
In "Living Inside" by HOOSH, the lyrics delve into the emotional struggle and pain that the artist has been experiencing. The recurring line, "They say damn you put in work, Truth is I've been working cause it hurts," reflects how the artist has been pushing themselves despite the emotional toll it takes on them. The words are all they have left to express their inner turmoil and observations about life.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of numbing the pain by numbing their nerves. This suggests that the artist might be using certain coping mechanisms, possibly substance use, to deal with the overwhelming emotions. However, they also acknowledge that avoiding the pain only leads to further paralysis and inability to move forward.
The second paragraph discusses the conflicting emotions the artist feels. While they may be experiencing spiritual growth and healing, there is an underlying hurt that persists. They question whether their success is uncertain and whether their efforts are truly worth it. This uncertainty contributes to their emotional burden.
The third paragraph reflects the artist's fatigue and frustration with their current situation. They express weariness with the lack of change in their life and repeated failed relationships. They feel disconnected from themselves, as if they are a stranger to their own identity. This disconnection adds to their internal struggle.
The final paragraph explores the impact of memories and regrets on the artist's psyche. They try to reason with their regrets, but it only worsens their emotional state. They talk about viewing themselves as worthless, indicating a lack of self-worth and confidence. The focus shifts towards the pressures of bills and managing the weight of financial burdens, as they bury their emotions and prioritize pursuing financial stability.
Overall, the lyrics of "Living Inside" depict an individual who is working through pain, seeking meaning, and grappling with self-doubt. It portrays their journey to navigate their emotions and the challenges that come with trying to balance personal growth and the external pressures of life.

They say damn you put in work
People praise me for my hard work
Truth is i've been working cause it hurts
I work hard because it brings me pain
And the only thing i have left are these words
My words are all that remains
I came to observe
I'm here to witness and understand
I would rather numb it with these nerves
I prefer to numb my pain with distractions
Cause i didn't and it paralyzed me first
Because I didn't face my fears, they held me back
And lately i've been feeling like a different person
Recently, I've been experiencing a change in myself
Spiritually healing but deep down it's hurting
While I'm finding spiritual healing, I still feel pain inside
Maybe it's the weed or how unfucking certain
Perhaps it's due to marijuana or my uncertainty
It is I succeed or whether this shit's worth it
I am unsure if success is worth the effort
I'm so tired of not seeing change
I'm exhausted from the lack of progress
Man i'm so tired of fucking up with all these dames
I'm tired of making mistakes with women
Stuck in a rut I look at myself and feel estranged
I'm trapped in a difficult situation and feel disconnected from myself
But see that apart of me was never willing to change
A part of me always resisted change
And all these memories they're swimming to the surface
Memories are resurfacing in my mind
Tryna reason with regret but then it worsens
I try to make sense of my regrets, but it only makes things worse
Introspective but reflection serves no purpose
Being introspective doesn't provide any answers
When you learn to view yourself as being worthless
When you start seeing yourself as worthless
I'm so tired of not having change
I'm exhausted from the lack of progress
Bills keep on piling will i manage out the weight
Financial obligations are overwhelming, will I be able to handle them
Dig deep inside of me and just focus on the day
I need to search within myself and concentrate on the present
Ignore emotions and keep my focus on the paper
I must disregard my emotions and concentrate on making money

To speak on my favorite lyrical content of the song.
"'They say damn you put in work
Truth is i’ve been working cause it hurts
And the only thing i have left are these words
I came to observe
I would rather numb it with these nerves
Cause i didn’t and it paralyzed me first' "
the chorus specifically speaks to the 'work' the artist is putting in, and a lot of the work we sometimes need to do to rid ourselves of insecurities and demons is to manifest them. Without manifesting them confronting them inside your head becomes infinitely more difficult. One of the difficulties in today's world exasperated by the quarantine is the lack of freedom people have with expressing the dark emotions for fear that bringing them into reality will begin to define your own being. Therapy exists to provide people a platform to express the anguish so they dont have to be paralyzed by the loneliness of their feelings, sometimes bringing it to the world takes the burden of your shoulders and onto the world which can then begin its process of healing you.
"'And lately i’ve been feeling like a different person
Spiritually healing but deep down it’s hurting
Maybe it’s the weed or how unfucking certain
It is I succeed or whether this shit’s worth it'"
Healing and recovery are not mutually exclusive. The process of healing is the process of re-defining trauma and darker thoughts that is a constant battle within in any thinking individual. The recovery process is also never complete due to the simple scarcity of validation that the world likes to give people. Understanding the unavoidable loneliness of the healing and recovery process is one of the bitterest truths. Growing up in the era of legalization of weed has been difficult for an entire generation. From a lack of literature and understanding to an almost overflow of information regarding weed has caused it to become a valid scapegoat for an entire generation. The normalization of marijuana consumption has perverted the original intentions of a lot of peoples use of weed which was to serve as a healing remedy for the soul and the brain. As its pros and cons are debated, the users are conflicted with their personal opinions on weed and the overwhelming opinion shaped by society.
"And all these memories they’re swimming to the surface
Tryna reason with regret but then it worsens
Introspective but reflection serves no purpose
When you learn to view yourself as being worthless"
It takes a lot to capture the intricacies of introspection and its importance. These words show that being self-aware does not lead to the self-actualization but can actually serve as a barrier to the journey of the soul. Self-awareness without self love is one of the scariest places to be as the realizations and memories will only serve to increase insecurities and personal criticism. Echoing back to the chorus, let your soul manifest itself in public so you can tackle the issues head-on with an overwhelming amount of passion and commitment regardless of their value
