Inside and Beyond
Misstrip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've got to change you're weak!
you must change colour... forget you're pale
could you just change your own words...
and use my brains
dig a little more, pick up the stars
break the ice
change the least you can but
don't urge me to change
take one or two peaces of me,
just what you ought to take
just go ahead please but don't beg,
don't beg me to forget pain
dig a little more, pick up the stars
break the ice
be part of my mess
give me heart some eyes
see me as i am go deep and far
listen to your senses don't be stuck
give your heart some ears
no law, no law...
The lyrics to "Inside and Beyond" by Misstrip describe a situation in which someone is urging another person to change. The singer is telling the other person that they need to change their own ways and become stronger, to change their color and forget their previous weakness. The singer wants the other person to use their brain and change their words to better match the singer's desires. The singer urges the other person to dig deeper and pick up the stars and become a part of their mess.
The singer is also asking the other person not to ask them to change, but to simply take what they need without begging. The song also mentions not forgetting the pain, which suggests that the singer may have been hurt in the past and is wary of any more emotional pain. The singer wants the other person to look at them and listen to their senses and emotions without being stuck or limited by any laws or societal norms.
Overall, these lyrics suggest a desire for change, growth, and a deeper connection between two people. The singer wants the other person to change some aspects of themselves to better align with the singer's desires, while also allowing the singer to keep some of their own identity and not forget past pain.
