History
HalfNoise was created two days after Zac Farro's departure from Paramore, under the original name Tunnel. Zac took part in this new project, along with Jason Clark, releasing a new song called Hide Your Eyes and later on released Free The House, their first official song and music video. The duo then renamed themselves HalfNoise due to other bands being named Tunnel. Farro and Clark had earlier been together in a band with Taylor York and Zac's brother Josh Farro prior to Paramore. Later, in an interview with NME Magazine, Farro said that Clark had abandoned the project and Zac was the only one left.
On October 2nd 2012, HalfNoise released the first EP, HalfNoise EP.

Inside
HalfNoise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not the monsters in my memory
It's okay if you're scared (Inside)
You're not the monsters in my memory (Inside)
Woo-oo-oo (Inside)
(Inside)
You said, "Baby, I'm vice" (Inside)
It's okay if you're scared
You're not the monsters in my memory
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo (Inside)
The opening lines of HalfNoise's "Inside" is a reassurance to the listener who might be feeling afraid or intimidated by something in their life. The artist reassures them that they are not the monsters in his memory. The chorus repeats this message twice, reinforcing the idea that it's okay to be scared and that the monsters exist only as memories.
The song continues with the line, "You said, 'Baby, I'm vice,'" which could be interpreted in many ways. It could mean that the listener is caught up in a situation or a relationship that might not be good for them, but they are afraid to leave. Alternatively, it could be a message from the listener to the artist, highlighting their flawed nature. The song does not offer any answers but subtly acknowledges the fear and imperfection that exist within us.
Overall, "Inside" is a song about vulnerability, fear, and the monsters within. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling scared, acknowledging it, and offering hope that it's okay to be afraid. The song's melody is ethereal and almost dreamlike, further emphasizing its message of introspection and vulnerability.
