Inside
In Strict Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sign to proof my view
Don't isolate your sins
That what we've done, is true
You teared a piece of me
Inside
You burned the heart in me
It's not the future
Which has gone by, on us
It's not the darkness
Which dazzles you, my child
Inside, we let it happen
Inside, we close our eyes
Inside, we turn
Inside, we die
Fear to raise my eyes
Sign to proof my view
Don't isolate your sins
That what we've done, is true
You teared a piece of me
Inside
You burned the heart in me
Inside
The lyrics of In strict Confidence's "Inside" song explore themes of fear and isolation, as well as a confrontation with the harsh reality of the self. The first stanza speaks to a reluctance to look at oneself honestly, instead relying on outward signs to justify one's perspective. The line "Don't isolate your sins" speaks to a need to confront the flaws within oneself and not hide from them, acknowledging that we are all capable of doing wrong.
The second stanza reveals a sense of betrayal, a feeling that someone has taken something from the singer (a piece of them) and burned them from the inside out. This might speak to a sense of pain caused by a loved one, a friend, or even oneself. The refrain "Inside, we let it happen" highlights a sense of personal responsibility for the situation. The repeated line "Inside, we die" suggests that by not confronting one's pain and fear, one is slowly dying inside.
Overall, "Inside" is a haunting exploration of the human psyche and the layers of fear and isolation that prevent true progress and growth. Rather than shying away from one's own flaws and pain, the song encourages the listener to face them head-on and not let them eat away at our inner selves.
