Beneath The Surface
Lock And Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Searching for some peace of mind.
Filling the gaps with things I find.
But you aren't ever going to see my inner side.
Find the truth to be deafening.
Like the glass he smashed not feeling. But the blood won't bring her back to your side.
To your side

Now I've messed it up again.
Look for answers within my friends.
But they aren't ever going to see my inner side.
It's time to realize the answer is here.
Beneath all the shit I've come to fear. But the answer won't surface this year.
This year





Just in your mind

Overall Meaning

, beneath the surface of this song lies a deep and introspective message about the challenges of finding inner peace and the struggle to reveal one's true self to others. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and frustration as the singer searches for a way to fill the void within themselves, but ultimately realizes that the only way to find true contentment is to confront their fears and face the reality of their situation head-on.


The line "Filling the gaps with things I find" suggests that the singer is using external distractions to cope with their inner turmoil, such as material possessions or relationships, but is ultimately still left feeling incomplete. The references to shattered glass and blood hint at a traumatic event that the singer may be struggling to come to terms with, perhaps the loss of a loved one.


The repeated phrase "But they aren't ever going to see my inner side" highlights the difficulty of revealing one's true self to others, and the fear of rejection or judgment that often accompanies this vulnerability. The song ultimately suggests that true peace can only be found by confronting these fears and facing the truth that lies beneath the surface of our lives.
