Outside
Marshmello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at what you've done
Stand still, fallin' away from me
When it takes so long
Fire's out, what do you want to be?
I'm holdin' on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be so strong
There's a power in what you do
Now, every other day I'll be watching you
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right now I'm on the
outside
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I'm on the
outside
Though you give me no reason
For me to stay close to you
Tell me what lovers do
How are we still breathing?
It's never for us to choose
I'll be the strength in you
I'm holding on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be strong
There's a power in what you do
Now, every other day I'll be watching you
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I'm on the
outside
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right. now I'm on the
outside
I'll show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
I'll show you what it feels like
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside




We did everything right, now I'm on the
outside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marshmello's song "OutSide" convey the feeling of being left out or isolated from someone you once felt connected to. The opening lines of the song reflect on the actions of the other person and the singer's resulting feelings of emptiness and distance. The lines "Stand still, fallin' away from me, when it takes so long, fire's out, what do you want to be?" suggest that the person is moving away from the singer and despite the length of time, there's no turning back. The singer admits that they had held on to the other person, but eventually realized that they were not enough for themselves. Thus, the other person must have the strength to hold on.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "Now I'm on the outside, we did everything right." This line refers to the idea that both parties did everything they could in the relationship, but it still ended up with the singer being left without the other person. The singer is left questioning why they are still breathing in a situation that is causing them pain, but ultimately finds the strength to be there for the other person when they need it. The final lines of the song shift from the singer telling the other person what it feels like to be left out to offering to show them what it feels like.


Overall, "OutSide" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the feeling of being disconnected from someone you once felt connected to, and the willingness to still be there for them despite the pain.

Beautiful remix

Such an awesome remix, the pitched up vocals were a really nice touch, almost chipmunk like. The beats were also really well put together, and the song really came together well. I also really enough how it had a really small buildup to an absolutely amazing drop. Top upload Trap City, love you <3
