Inside Me
Rain Paint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it all in vain?
Have I lost what I was in one day?
Did I give it all a way?
Is it all in vain?
To be what I was yesterday?
something you've done
And tonight you'll ask forgiveness
something you've done before
I can't give you what you need
just let me sleep
I'll either kill you or myself
I'm so weak
In a world of disconnection
I can try relate
still I cant find anything
before it's too late
The only way to get relief
is to destroy it all
Give it back to all the people
to whom I know it belongs
I have tried to talk to you
but you can't hear me at all
I must let you die with me
and it's your fault, you all
Medical health in artificial reality
Controlling an empty mind
doesn't know how leave
Let me out
Let me out of this misery
You are not me
and you can't be inside me
There's not one thing you do better
I'm me, we're not together
I can't kill you but I can kill us
is it really something that you want?
How did I lose yesterday?
Was it all in vain?
I have lost what I was
in one day
Did I give it all away?
Now it's all in vain
It was me, I'm afraid
and I am never going away
The song "Inside Me" by Rain Paint is about losing oneself and feeling disconnected from the world around you. The singer questions whether everything they have done in the past was all in vain and if they have lost a part of themselves. They also question whether it's worth trying to be who they were before, knowing that they may not be able to achieve it again.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of forgiveness and the difficulty of giving someone what they need. The singer acknowledges their weakness and the fact that they may not be able to provide what someone else requires, and they would rather "sleep" and "destroy it all" than face that reality. They express frustration with trying to reach others in a disconnected world and feeling like it may be too late to do so. Ultimately, the singer is struggling with mental health issues, feeling trapped in an "artificial reality" and wishing to escape their misery.
