Mokita blends the organic tone of natural instrumentation and plaintive vocals with a unique, subtle, electronic production. Giving bittersweet gems that explore the journey of personal experience, Mokita deliver the intimacy and desire sorely needed in music. Having collaborated with acclaimed producer Mike Nielsen (Jamiroquai, Underworld) and had two tracks 'Made of Stone' and 'Two Words' selected as Record of The Day the music industry's unofficial tastemaker, Mokita was No1. on the Indiestore download chart as well as becoming a published Artist/Songwriter. www.mokitamusic.com

2) Mokita were a four-piece band from London. They are probably best described as edging into the post-hardcore genre, taking influences from bands such as Fugazi, Nirvana, At the Drive-In, Mclusky, though there are spatterings of the mid-90s Brit sounds of bands such as Radiohead. Their final line up was:
Theo (now in Pocus Whiteface, with previous Mokita drummer Joe)
Muppet
John (formerly of One Time Friend and The Gloves)
Ruth (formerly of The Gloves now in Sinking Cruise Ship Rescue Drama)
Inside Out
Mokita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've tried, oh, I've tried to fill it
Torn the world apart
Looking for some new vice that might heal it
No, I'm not scared of being alone
But I'm terrified of being known
So I keep my secrets to myself
I think I'm gonna hurt someone
If I keep running away, and I keep running away
I'm gonna hurt someone
If I don't change, if I don't change
I've been spinning in circles and spiraling down
I should be honest with myself by now
Oh, why the hell do I worship approval and praise?
I guess I'm scared of someone finding out
That I'm inside out, out
That I'm inside out, out
All the friends I've ignored
For the sake of this dream I've been chasing
Is it worth the reward
If I lose everything I believe in?
Oh, I've been selfish to the core (Ooh)
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I'm sick of thinking 'bout myself (Ooh)
I've left no room for someone else
I think I'm gonna hurt someone
If I keep running away, and I keep running away
I'm gonna hurt someone
If I don't change, if I don't change
I've been spinning in circles and spiraling down
I should be honest with myself by now
Oh, why the hell do I worship approval and praise?
I guess I'm scared of someone finding out
That I'm inside out, out
That I'm inside out, out
In Mokita's song "Inside Out," the artist confronts the internal struggles of a person who is dealing with a hole in their heart that they have tried to fill with different vices and searching for approval and praise from others. The singer acknowledges that they are not scared of being alone, but they are terrified of being known, showing their hesitance to trust others with their personal struggles. The singer realizes that their actions are hurting those around them and recognizes their selfishness. They are tired of only thinking of themselves and leaving no room for someone else.
Throughout the song, the singer is introspective, trying to come to terms with their issues and fears. They realize that they have been ignoring the friendships they have built, solely focusing on chasing their dream, but question if it's worth losing everything they believe in. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the internal conflict the singer is experiencing. They are aware that if they keep running away and if they don't change, they will hurt not only themselves but those around them. The line "I guess I'm scared of someone finding out that I'm inside out" adds to the metaphor of the singer's internal struggles, portraying them in a state of vulnerability and rawness.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a hole in my heart
I feel a deep emptiness inside me
And I've tried, oh, I've tried to fill it
I have attempted to fill the emptiness with various things
Torn the world apart
I have searched everywhere and tried everything to try and fill the void within me
Looking for some new vice that might heal it
I am searching for new things to use as distractions to try and feel better
No, I'm not scared of being alone
I am not afraid of being by myself
But I'm terrified of being known
I am afraid of others truly seeing me and my flaws
So I keep my secrets to myself
I keep my personal thoughts and issues bottled up inside
Why would I trust somebody else?
I am hesitant to confide in others and open up to them
I think I'm gonna hurt someone
I worry that I might cause harm to others if I don't make changes
If I keep running away, and I keep running away
If I continue to avoid my problems and distract myself with other things
If I don't change, if I don't change
Unless I make changes in my life
I've been spinning in circles and spiraling down
I have been stuck in a pattern of self-destructive behavior
I should be honest with myself by now
I need to face the truth about my situation
Oh, why the hell do I worship approval and praise?
I question why I seek validation and recognition from others
I guess I'm scared of someone finding out
I am afraid of others discovering my true self and my weaknesses
That I'm inside out, out
That I am vulnerable and exposed
All the friends I've ignored
I have neglected the people in my life who care about me
For the sake of this dream I've been chasing
I have been so focused on achieving my goals that I have overlooked the importance of my relationships
Is it worth the reward
I wonder if the success I seek is truly worth the cost
If I lose everything I believe in?
If my pursuit of success causes me to lose sight of my values and morals
Oh, I've been selfish to the core (Ooh)
I realize that my actions have been self-centered and self-serving
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I am unsure of what my goals truly mean to me
I'm sick of thinking 'bout myself (Ooh)
I am tired of only considering my own wants and needs
I've left no room for someone else
I have not allowed others to be a part of my life and my struggles
That I'm inside out, out
That I am emotionally unguarded and vulnerable
