Inside
Sanity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And even if I was, what could I do
You've already made up your mind
I'm out of your life
Promises that were made are broken
Like the words we all take for granted
You were some
And I hope you were wrong
You said I'm not the one inside of you
And even if I was, what could I do
You've already made up your mind
I'm out of your life
I'm out of your life
I'll pretend that you're here, beside me
I feel you breathe on my neck, when I speak
I waited long
And I hope you're wrong
You said I'm not the one inside of you
And even if I was, what could I do
You've already made up your mind
I'm out of your life
I'm out of your life
Were you calling my name when I go to sleep
Were you calling my name were you calling me
Were you calling my name when I go to sleep
Were you calling my name were you calling me
Were you calling my name.....FOREVER
You said I'm not the one inside of you
And even if I was, what could I do
You've already made up your mind (mind)
I'm out of your life
I'm out of your life
I'm out of your life
(I'm out of your life)
I'm out of your life
The lyrics to Sanity's song Inside describe the feelings of the singer who is being rejected by someone he loved deeply. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been told that he is not the one who resides in the other person's heart, indicating that the other person does not have the same feelings for him. Even if the singer were the one inside the other person's heart, he knows that it wouldn't change anything, as the other person has made up their mind and decided to let go of him. The chorus repeats these lines that firmly establish that he is out of her life, and there is nothing he can do to change it.
The verse that follows has the singer questioning the promises that were made between them, promises that are now broken, and he wonders how they could have been so easily taken for granted. He refers to the other person as "you were some," possibly meaning that she was nothing, implying that their love was insignificant to her. But he still has hope that she made a mistake, and he's not the one who should be let go. The song ends with the singer reminiscing about the moments they shared and how he wishes she would still be calling his name forever.
In summary, the song Inside by Sanity is about the pain of being rejected by someone you love and the helpless feeling of not being able to change the situation.

You said I'm not the one inside of you
You told me that I am not the source of your inner feelings or emotions
And even if I was, what could I do
Even if I was the one inside of you, I wouldn't be able to change anything
You've already made up your mind
You have already come to a decision, and nothing can change your mind
I'm out of your life
I am no longer a part of your life
Promises that were made are broken
Promises that were made in the past have not been kept
Like the words we all take for granted
Like the common words we all use without appreciating their true meaning
You were some
You were somewhat important to me
And I hope you were wrong
I hope that you were mistaken in your decision to exclude me from your life
I'll pretend that you're here, beside me
I will act as if you are with me, physically next to me
I feel you breathe on my neck, when I speak
I imagine feeling you breathing on my neck as I speak
I waited long
I have waited a long time for you to change your mind
And I hope you're wrong
And I hope that you are wrong in your decision to exclude me from your life
Were you calling my name when I go to sleep
I wonder if you were calling my name in your mind when I fall asleep
Were you calling my name were you calling me
Were you really thinking about me and wishing I was there with you?
Were you calling my name.....FOREVER
Were you calling my name with the intention of having me with you always and forever?
I'm out of your life
Again, I am no longer a part of your life
