Inhabited Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever wished upon a star
You could be someone else
Besides who you are
Have you ever wished upon a star
You could wake up and find yourself dreaming again

Oh I've been there before
When I kept running from myself

All I could do was say

I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am

Have you ever wondered why you
find yourself looking in the mirror again
Oh and nothings changed you're still the same
You're picking up the pieces you tossed in the wind
They're coming back again

Oh I've been there before
When I kept running from myself
All I could do was say

I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am

Oh, I put my trust, I put my hope in You my God
Oh, it's not this way
It's not that way
I'm finding for myself
It's not this way
It's not that way, away

I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am

And I'll wait for You
I'll wait for You

Overall Meaning

The song "In Between" by Inhabited is about the struggle of feeling trapped between who you are and who you want to be. The lyrics begin with the question of whether or not the listener has ever wished to become someone else, to break free from the constraints of their current existence. The singer then admits to having experienced this feeling before, running from their true self and trapped by the walls that confine them.

The chorus repeats the message of being trapped in between, calling out for release and asking for the listener to trust in something greater to take control. The second verse adds an element of frustration, wondering why change hasn't occurred even though the desire for it is present. Throughout the song, there is a clear sense of unease and unrest, with the repeated refrain of waiting for something to change.

Overall, the lyrics speak to a common human experience of feeling stuck or confined, while also acknowledging the hope of being released from the struggle. The song suggests that release can come from putting trust in something greater and letting go of control.
