While it's nearly impossible to decode the Rosetta stone for Inouk's music, perhaps it can be safely said that their music is made by fans of the close harmonies of the Everly Brothers, the jangle pop of the Byrds, the twisted melodicism of Brian Eno, or the effervescence of Ian Brown.

Nudie Suit
Inouk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What will I do all day?
People depend on you
They say I wear on you
Do you too?
I had a long dream
Everyone I’ve ever known
Deceiving me
Word about town has shown
They’re blaming me
If it was just a dream
I’d go back to sleep
Sometimes you’re too sweet to die
Other times you ought to be burned alive
And if it seems to you to be true
That the only thing living that matters now is you
Take off your nudie suit, and look at your face
And if it’s a drama filled movie you’re after
Make sure the star doesn’t look a disaster
The lyrics to Inouk's song Nudie Suit capture the feeling of dependence and betrayal in a relationship. The singer questions what they would do if their partner were to leave because they feel heavily reliant on them. The line "people depend on you, they say I wear on you, do you too?" highlights the imbalance in the relationship and the insecurities felt by the singer. They then describe a dream in which everyone they have ever known is deceiving them, and they are being blamed for something they have not done. This could represent the singer's fear of being alone and losing the support of their partner. However, the dream imagery also suggests a subconscious understanding that the relationship may not be entirely healthy.
The chorus contains a warning to the partner to take off their "nudie suit" - a reference to a rhinestone-studded cowboy costume - and look at their true self. The line "if it seems to you to be true that the only thing living that matters now is you" suggests that the partner is selfish and only concerned with their own desires. The final line "make sure the star doesn't look a disaster" could be interpreted as a plea for the partner to take care of themselves and their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of Nudie Suit convey a sense of unease and imbalance in a relationship, with the singer questioning their own worth and the faithfulness of their partner.
