Insider
PM Warson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The scene that we departed
We all long to be something more than what you see
I'd have thought, but not for me
I've tried taking it farther
But then I can see that you'd rather
Just hold your ground and wait for things to come around
(You wanna go)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
(You wanna know)
I'll tell you anything you wanna know
If I could find a way in time
To be an insider
Or just find a way inside
Anyway, any time.
If I could find a way in time a little piece of mind
The fountain of youth is running dry
We're here playing stick or twist
Tell me how did it end like this?
You're hand's on the table but what is mine?
You wanna go
You wanna know
The lyrics of PM Warson's song "Insider" speak to the feeling of being stuck in a situation, wanting to break out of it and become something more, but feeling unable to do so. The first verse suggests a sense of frustration with the status quo, with the singer saying that "we're back where we started" and "we all long to be something more than what you see." However, the singer also acknowledges that this desire might not be possible for them personally, saying "I'd have thought, but not for me." The second verse speaks to a sense of trying to push forward and change things, but ultimately feeling blocked by the people around them who are content to "just hold your ground and wait for things to come around." This, too, leads to a feeling of resignation, as the singer says "In a want to not concede." The chorus offers a hope of sorts, with the singer offering to take the listener "anywhere you wanna go" and "tell you anything you wanna know." However, this is tempered by a sense of uncertainty about the future, as the singer says "If I could find a way in time / To be an insider / Or just find a way inside / Anyway, any time." Ultimately, the song speaks to the struggle to break free of the limitations placed upon us by our circumstances and the people around us, but also to the difficulty of knowing how to do so.
