The World Outside
Palo Alto Lyrics

Consequences waiting for you
There are repercussions for your actions that will eventually catch up to you

Can you feel it up inside
Are you aware of the impact that your choices have on yourself and others?

You show how much your father's part of you
Your behavior mirrors that of your father, indicating how much you were influenced by him

Thinking it makes no sense
Even though you recognize this behavior in yourself, you may struggle to make sense of it

Would it really make you turn away
Would you still choose the same actions knowing the potential negative consequences?

Would it really change your life
Is it significant enough to change your current behavior and lifestyle?

Hey
A casual exclamation used to capture attention and emphasize the importance of what is about to be said

There's a world outside of you
There is more to life than your individual experiences and perspective

Feelings locked inside this corridor
Emotions that are trapped within, possibly due to fear or shame

Could they make you change your mind
Is it possible that these emotions could lead you to re-evaluate your choices?

Feeling hope can seem so far away
It can be difficult to be optimistic when you feel trapped or stuck in a situation

Thinking
Reflecting on your circumstances and internal state

It's good to find
Finding something positive or uplifting can help improve your perspective

Would you really let this go to waste
Are you willing to let potential opportunities or positive experiences pass you by?

Would it really change your life
Is it significant enough to have a lasting impact on your life?

Hey
Re-emphasizing the importance of considering the consequences of your actions

There's a world outside of you
Repeating the idea that there is more to life than your individual experiences and perspective

So come on
Encouraging action and self-exploration

You want to feel it all inside
You desire to experience all that life has to offer and not be limited by current circumstances

Your gravity pulls you so far away
Negative emotions can pull you down and feel like it's impossible to escape them

Thinking
Internal reflection on whether it's possible to move beyond negative circumstances

How long will this last
Questioning the duration of negative circumstances or feelings and if it's possible to overcome them

Nothing you take makes you feel all the best
No substance or action can provide lasting, genuine happiness or fulfillment

It's too much
Feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions or circumstances

Not enough
Feeling unsatisfied, despite attempts to find happiness in external sources

It's OK
Reassuring oneself that it's okay to struggle with negative emotions and difficult circumstances

You break out of this age
Encouraging oneself to break free from negative patterns and grow

Well there's a world outside of you
Reiterating that life is bigger than your individual experiences and perspective

Hey hey hey
Re-emphasizing the urgency and importance of this message
