Inside Me
Katy Gunn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I get lonely
I don't even know myself
Sometimes you won't find me
I turn into someone else
The atmosphere's blurry
Things they seem a bit unclear
But when you come near me
Suddenly bad thoughts disappear

I see you
Inside me
Yeah I see you
Inside me

Sometimes I get lonely
And I don't quite understand
Why people look ugly
But then I remind myself
I can be a bitch sometimes
If you push me
The monster that I have inside is always with me
And when I look into your eyes it just reminds me
The ugly that I see outside
Is also inside me

I see you
Inside me
Yeah I see you
Inside me
I see you
Inside me

Yeah I see you
Inside me

Overall Meaning

In the song "Inside Me," Katy Gunn discusses the feelings of loneliness and uncertainty that she often experiences. She explains that she tends to lose touch with herself at times, and her behavior and thoughts transform into something unrecognizable. The environment around her becomes hazy, and her thoughts become convoluted, which leads to feelings of isolation. However, when she is approached by someone she cares for, those negative emotions vanish. Inherently, Gunn realizes that she is a flawed person and can be as nasty as the people she meets, but she tries to remind herself that everyone has flaws. When she looks into the eyes of someone she cares about, she rediscovers the beauty within herself.

The song could be interpreted as Gunn's attempt to come to terms with her flaws and find beauty within herself, as she recognizes that everyone has negative aspects that they have to confront. The song's lyrics convey that everyone has a darker side, but they also have a positive side. All it takes is focusing on the good and surrounding oneself with people who bring out the best in us, so the bad thoughts and behavior go dormant.
