Inside Out
Prime Circle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I'm wide, I'm wide, I'm wide awake again
When I'm slipping on something else
It always happens now and then
But it's what I expected

The further that you think you got
You turn and it's not much
It always happens in the end
But it's what I expected
Yeah, it's what I expected

Well we need a need a break to get me by
Remove me from this cycle that keeps playing with my mind
Oh everyday, every night
Of all these questions
All these games
All the answers that are same
Of all the words you just say, hey
It's what I expected

And I feel I'm caught inside the middle
Consumed by the likes of you, oh
And I'm inside out
I'm caught inside in this circle
Remove me now, 'cause I got better things to do
And I'm inside out
I'm caught inside this whirlpool
Nevermind me, no
It's what I expected

So come on come on come on give me a chance
And help me find what to fight for
Help me dance the best dance
And get back through it
Of all these questions
All these games
Of all the answers that I say
Of all those words you just say, hey hey
It's what I expected

And I feel I'm caught inside the middle
Consumed by the likes of you, oh
And I'm inside out
I'm caught inside this circle
Remove me now 'cause I got better things to do
And I'm inside out
I'm caught inside this whirlpool
Nevermind me
It's what I expected
Oh, It's what I expected
Yeah yeah

I got to get through somehow, to find myself
See things I've never seen
Leave this town
I got see it all

And I'm inside out
Oh but I'm spinning round
I'm inside out and round and round
Here we go
And I'm spinning around
Oh God I'm upside down
I'm inside out and round and round
Here we go
Here we go




Here we go
Here we go

Line by Line Meaning

Oh I'm wide, I'm wide, I'm wide awake again
I am alert and fully conscious again


When I'm slipping on something else
I'm losing the thoughts that I was previously focused on


It always happens now and then
This is a recurring event that happens occasionally


But it's what I expected
I anticipated this to happen


The further that you think you got
The more progress you think you've made


You turn and it's not much
The gains you thought you made are minimal


It always happens in the end
It's common for things to not work out as planned


Yeah, it's what I expected
This outcome was predictable


Well we need a need a break to get me by
I require a pause to cope with what's happening


Remove me from this cycle that keeps playing with my mind
Take me out of this pattern of thoughts that troubles me


Of all these questions
All the uncertainties that I have


All these games
The manipulations that people play


All the answers that are same
The repetitive responses I receive


Of all the words you just say, hey
The casual things you say in conversation


And I feel I'm caught inside the middle
I sense that I'm stuck in the midst of a situation


Consumed by the likes of you, oh
You possess an overwhelming influence over me


And I'm inside out
I am turned inside out, everything I hold within is exposed


I'm caught inside in this circle
I am trapped in a cycle


Remove me now, 'cause I got better things to do
Free me from my current state because I have more important matters to attend to


I'm caught inside this whirlpool
I am swallowed up by a powerful force that is out of my control


Nevermind me, no
Do not trouble yourself with my problems


So come on come on come on give me a chance
Please provide me with an opportunity


And help me find what to fight for
Assist me in discovering something to endeavor towards


Help me dance the best dance
Assist me in taking the best course of action


And get back through it
Overcome the obstacles to return to a better place


I got to get through somehow, to find myself
I need to overcome obstacles to rediscover who I really am


See things I've never seen
Experience new facets of life that will help me grow


Leave this town
Depart from the current location as a symbolic means of starting fresh


Oh but I'm spinning round
I am confused and losing myself


Here we go
I'm about to start something new, uncertain of the outcome


Oh God I'm upside down
I am emotionally disoriented and lost
