The World Outside
Paloalto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Consequences waiting for you
Can you feel it up inside
You show how much your father's part of you
Thinking it makes no sense

But would it really make you turn away
Would it really change your life
Hey

Hey hey
There's a world outside of you
Hey hey
There's a world outside of you

Feelings locked inside this corridor
Could they make you change your mind

Feeling hope can seem so far away
Thinking
It's good to find

Would you really let this go to waste
Would it really change you life
Hey

Hey hey
There's a world outside of you
Hey hey
There's a world outside of you

But there's a world outside of you
So come on
You want to feel it all inside
So come on
You want it all

Your gravity pulls you so far away
Thinking
How long will this last
Nothing you take makes you feel all the best
It's too much
Not enough
It's OK
You break out of this age

Hey hey
There's a world outside of you
Hey hey
There's a world outside of you

Well there's a world outside of you
Hey hey
There's a world outside of you
Hey hey hey
There's a world outside of you
Hey hey




There's a world outside of you
Hey hey hey

This album takes me back to some great and blissful and interesting times.

Andy Trullinger

Rick Rubin's production still sounds fresh. I like how he recorded guitars on this album. As usual, it's a multi-layered event. This is a fine album.

Video Demon

This album is an underrated masterpiece of 2000's alt rock. If these guys were from the UK instead of the US, they would've been as popular as Coldplay and Muse.
