Overall Meaning

The song "Inside Out" presents a deeply insidious attitude towards something or someone. The lyrics emphasize the singer's power and agency over the object or person they address. They use a metaphor of turning someone inside out, which implies complete control and domination over the other person. The singer divides their cultured pearls in haste, suggesting a lack of patience or care, because they are keen to lay something to waste. Whatever they seek to lay to waste is something they cannot taste; this ambiguity leaves the listener guessing about what is being referred to. Additionally, the lyrics state that this is not the racy race, they spoke loud, which could imply that the singer is uninterested in the hustle and bustle of competition or in convincing others of their position.

The song can be interpreted in various ways, but one possible reading is that it depicts someone who has a disdainful or destructive attitude towards an idea or person they view as inferior or unworthy. The chorus seems to assert the singer's power over the other person, suggesting that they could turn them inside out but choose not to do so. However, the repetition of the line "I believe in what you do" could be read as an admission of a complicated and uncertain relationship between the two parties. The lyrics "given the choice," "given the heart," "given the tool," "given the word," and "given the cheers" evoke the theme of ownership, as if the singer seeks to take control of something that belongs to the other person.

Overall, the song seems to convey a message that is both subtle and menacing. It explores power dynamics, agency, and control in relationships, and presents a complex and nuanced view of human interactions.

Exactly, common sense!!
If I was standing there at the top, it would be my first thought, if the zorb can roll to the left downhill and what happens, if it actually does. I would say it's a 50/50 chance that the ball will go to the wrong direction. Even 5/95 wouldn't good enough for me to get into this thing! It was obvious that the wrong case scenario will happen soon or later!

People, this is NOT a freak accident. A freak accident is when ALL precautions are taken, which would include barriers, fences, walls, ropes, etc to stop this zorb. In this case, there was absolutely nothing to stop it if went off course. Nothing freakish about this sad incident and the result was expected. What would have been freakish is if the ball stayed on course.
So sorry for the guys, especially for the one that lost his life.

I've heard of cases where people thought these spheres would protect them from large falls of over 30ft.... It doesn't and the manufacturer has strict guidelines to what these things can protect you from...

It’s one of the most clicked-classic YouTube Videos (The original one) and it is a freak accident because you have to be a stupid very rich freak when you rolling down uncontrollably with this ZORB before no one understand the simple stuff of physics, watching this terrain but also push your friends into death.
And btw: it is not censored because you don’t see this brutal death of one of the guys. So, it’s allowed. ✌🏼

It wasn't a "freak accident," as the dude on the right states. It was an accident waiting to happen. Taking into consideration the terrain and the existence of gravity, the outcome should have been obvious. But people who live in third world countries tend to be not so smart.

@PostgodAfterbirth

10y↑21

Um... Russia is not and has never been a third world country. The USSR was considered second world country before the collapse (The West was first world, communism second, underdeveloped and povertous countries third.) Now they are considered a developed, modern country with a capitalist economy. But, it's easier to just be ignorant, so have at it, hoss.

@hoserfella

10y↑7

PostgodAfterbirth Ummmm, anyone with half a brain would consider Russia and their lack of common sense, laws, etc to be a third world country. Then again, your lack of common sense went down that mountain in a big ball, didn't it, "Hoss"?

@Fishfingers232

PostgodAfterbirth The term '3rd world' was not made to name poor countries, it was used to refer to neutral countries in the cold war who often happened to be poor African nations. Technically Switzerland was a '3rd world' country in the Cold war despite it being one of the wealthiest nations on earth.

They all share the same feed, just as these guys did. Nothing wrong here at all. Much better job done here than by most youtubers with a green screen and video editing software.

@MegaCocacolafan

slapchop14 I think people want to see the video of the accident itself and not a bunch of internet news people talk about the video. Plus often times the titles allude to them showing the video but never do, they just talk about it. So they down vote to show there distaste. Can't speak for everyone but when I load a video like this and see some knucklehead talking I hit the back button almost immediately.

Poor guys.
but, of course: they wanted to do a cool adventure stuff. And that is dangerous of course.
And it would need a strong will, NOT to do it, because of obvious lack of security. They are not US-Americans, who might be used to a totally secured life......

That sucker got airborne. I read somewhere they rolled for almost a mile. Can you imagine spinning around in that thing for that long knowing the ride was supposed to be over in 15 seconds? What was going through their minds at the time when they were spinning like that? I still wanna know if the ball "burst" when they landed because it says they fell into a gorge from a very high point.

You could have someone standing by with a pellet gun who may be able to shoot the ball and deflate it, or they need to build in a "kill switch" that the riders can hit and quickly deflate the ball in an emergency..very sad tragedy..condolences to the family and loved ones...hope this never happens again.

@ParaTruther

10y

I don't know why these thing don't have a pull handle inside the ball to deflate it in an emergency. Seem like common sense and such an easy thing to implement and best of all no guns needed.

@ARouser15

10y

perhaps a sheathed knife on waist? but i suppose that could end badly.... perhaps less worse than this though...

@Blackdragon5284

Harry Midgley Yeah, you'd have to cut through the inner layer of the zorb, AND through the outer layer, while it's rolling down a hill hitting rocks. Once you've done that, if you do that, you have to jump out at speed while still rolling. Also, there's the problem of the zorb changing it's rotational axis and spinning on the cut you've just made. Definitely not a good idea to have a knife.

@ARouser15

nah once you puncture it would deflate and you'd slump on the ground. course once its deflated you have to get out... to the air...

I see nothing freakish about the accident, in fact, I would have been surprised if the zorb would have stayed on top of the hill. This is just reckless stupidity.

@podboq2

9y↑2

I think at some point the zorb was spinning so fast that the two inside were stuck to the walls, imagine going into free-fall off a cliff, trapped inside a rubber ball with another person. On impact they more than likely smashed together... hard! Then, off for another spin cycle! Choking on vomit, can't get your breath... one last sickening crunch and then oblivion....

Pure luck that anyone survived it.

I wonder how many other pairs zorbed down that slope that day? There were people at the bottom waiting to catch it, but if they expected the inertia of zorb + 1 occupant but got hit with the inertia of 2 + zorb... it's no wonder they couldn't grab it.

@podboq2

No doubt people were wondering WHY it happened, why the people at the bottom didn't catch them, why two went together, why they didn't try to crawl out through the hole while moving...etc...

the guy who sends it rolling tilts his head and body just after releasing the ball in the same way a golfer does after a shot - as if trying to will it to the right. he must have envisioned this very scenario because he then can be seen sprinting across the powder field in a panic at the instant that the ball is headed left. what the hell? who hasn't seen a ball roll to the lowest point down the street (i.e., the sewer). the next winter Olympics are in Sochi 2014 - should be exciting.

So it looks like when it is about 50% down the run, it veers to the right and some dumbass pushes it back to the left, then it veers off to the left. Had it been allowed to keep going right, it would have ended without tragedy. However that is not to say that this kind of fatal accident would not have happened eventually.
