Inner Self
Minuit Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun is gone, now it's dark in the city
Human shapes are following me
It's not safe to be walking alone
But I am fearless and unreachable
A forest, the middle of the night
It got cold in the blink of an eye
It is insane to be here on my own
But I am calm and invincible

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me
I might be strong but I lose my grip
When it tries to destroy me

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me
I might be strong but I lost my grip
Trying to destroy it

The night is young, I am sleeping alone
There are footsteps coming down the hall
I'm being watched, I'm being hunted
But I am bold, and I'm not afraid
A basement, it's too dark to see
There may be spiders crawling around me
I'm being trapped, I'm being tortured,
But I am brave and unbeatable

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me
I might be strong but I lose my grip
When it tries to destroy me

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me
I might be strong but I lost my grip
Trying to destroy it

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me
I might be strong but I lose my grip
When it tries to destroy me

The only danger I fear
Is hidden inside of me




I might be strong but I lost my grip
Trying to destroy it

Overall Meaning

The song "Inner Self" by Minuit Machine is a haunting exploration of the inner demons that we all carry within us. The first verse sets the scene in a dark city, where the singer is being followed by human shapes. Despite the danger, she claims to be both fearless and invincible. The second verse takes us to a forest in the middle of the night, where the singer is again alone and facing the unknown. But again, she is calm and unafraid. The third verse tells of footsteps in the night and the feeling of being hunted, yet once again the singer remains bold and fearless. The final verse takes us to a basement, where the singer is trapped and tortured, yet still she remains brave and unbeatable.


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of the only danger being hidden inside the singer herself. She is strong and seems unstoppable, except for this internal struggle. The fear that she expresses is not of external forces, but of losing control of her inner self. This is a powerful message about the importance of facing our own demons and not allowing them to consume us.
