Inside To Outside
Kajagoogoo & Limahl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(VERSE 1)
Is it your alluring way?
Could you always drown the fire?
Keep a check on all you feel
Keep a hold on your desire
But I feel there?s something new
And it?s lying in your eyes
There?s a shudder running through...
You... now I realize

(CHORUS)
Inside turning to outside
The feeling you can?t hide
Is touching a high-light in your eyes
Inside turning to outside
It?s gonna be alright
It?s runnin? a high for you and I

(VERSE 2)
Like a shadow of yourself
Like a spirit in the air
Looking desp?rately for help
You?ve been looking everywhere
My heart is beating fast
Blue eyes are locked on mine
A vision flashes past
Moving me in time

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Inside turning to outside
The feeling you can?t hide
Is touching a high-light in your eyes
Inside turning to outside
It?s gonna be alright
It?s runnin? a high for you and I

(MIDDLE)
And we can live in a beautiful world
Hide away under peaceful skies
We can survive on time and a word
Feel the nights passing by...

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Inside turning to outside
The feeling you can?t hide
Is touching a high-light in your eyes
Inside turning to outside
It?s gonna be alright




It?s runnin? a high for you and I
(TO FADE)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kajagoogoo's song "Inside to Outside" express the feelings of a person who has seen a change in someone they know - perhaps a friend or a loved one. The change is significant enough that the person is unable to ignore it, and it is reflected in their eyes. The song speaks of the internal conflict of the person in question - they are trying to suppress their feelings and desires, but there is something new brewing inside of them that they may not be able to hold back for long.


The chorus of the song talks about how the person's internal struggle is slowly transitioning to the outside - it is becoming more visible to everyone around them, including the singer of the song. Despite this realization, the person singing the song reassures the subject that everything is going to be alright, that they are in this together and they will enjoy the high that this new change brings.


The middle section of the song speaks of the possibilities of a beautiful world, where the two can co-exist under peaceful skies, survive on "time and a word," and feel the nights passing by. It is possible that the song speaks about a budding romance, where the feelings of both people are slowly coming to the surface, and it is offering encouragement that together they can make it work.
