Inside Me
Jesus and Mary Chain Lyrics

I take my time away
I choose to separate myself from the world and take a break

And I see something
During my break, I gain a new perspective

And that's my story
I use this newly gained perspective to inform my personal narrative

This takes me back again
My new perspective leads me to look back on my past

And drops me so
This examination of my past is emotional and can be difficult

This takes me back again
Again, I look back on my past

And drops me so far safe
But ultimately, this examination helps me feel safe and grounded

Hey hey hey
Vocalization and repetition, without any significant meaning

Hey hey hey
Continuation of vocalization and repetition, without any significant meaning

Hey, yeah
Another vocalization, without any significant meaning

I've seen it all go
I've witnessed everything come and go

And I've seen something
Even though things come and go, I still get something out of the experience

I've seen my head grow
I've gained wisdom and perspective as I've grown older

And I've seen something
This wisdom and perspective has come from something meaningful

This takes me up again
This new perspective lifts me up again

And drops me so
But, as before, this new perspective can be difficult and emotional

This takes me back again
Again, I am led to examine my past more deeply

And drops me so far safe
But ultimately, this examination is what brings me a sense of security and comfort

I've seen my time away
I've spent time away from others, likely in thought or introspection

Blows up and far away
This time away can sometimes feel extreme or explosive

I've seen it all before
Even though things can sometimes feel extreme, I have experience with these emotions and experiences

I've seen my head expand
My growth and experiences have led to an expansion of my mind and understanding

My head expand
Repetition of previous line

It's living inside me
All of these experiences and emotions live inside me and inform my perspective on the world and my place in it
