Outside
Staind (wapos.ru) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again

All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain

All the times
That I felt insecure
For you

And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you

All those times
That I cry my intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All that's wasted
It's all inside

And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend

But I feel
Tomorrow will be okay

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me

I can see through you
See to the real you

Overall Meaning

The singer is begging for love and acceptance from someone who doesn't seem to care, leaving him feeling vulnerable and in pain. He admits to wasting time and being insecure, hoping that tomorrow will be better. Throughout the song, the singer feels like an outsider looking in, seeing through the other person's facade and recognizing the ugliness inside, which he also sees in himself. The chorus emphasizes that the singer is looking past the superficial and seeing the real person, both the good and the bad.

The song's message is relatable to many people who have experienced rejection or felt like they don't belong. The lyrics are raw and honest, conveying the pain and frustration of unrequited love.

This song gave me a sense of hope when I was battling depression and my inner demons years ago. The last verse was the one that hit me the most and gave me a much-needed breakthrough and push to get my life back on track.

All the times that I've cried, all this wasted, it's all inside.
And I feel all this pain, stuffed it down, it's back again!
And I lie here in bed, all alone, I can't mend.
But I feel tomorrow will be okay.

Yes... Tomorrow will be okay. And it has been okay since that moment.
Thank you Staind for helping me with your song.

@41, there is something that I realized along the way which is hard to accept. We all make our own mistakes with our children, but we try to make sure they are not the same mistakes that our parents made with us. But that makes it cyclical, because you were present for those mistakes, and its what taught you to be you and be better.....in those ways. Your children will remember your mistakes and try to insulate their children from them. Unfortunately they did not experience YOUR parents mistakes made to you, and thus have a chance of making those with their own children.... and the cycle continues.
Every generation has Light and Darkness. Every generation feels the decay, and the progress. We all made it since before people were people, don't forget the resilience of who 'WE' are, Everything is a teaching event, use them all to move forward and stop focusing on the pain of the past and what was behind. We all have to forgive, even,... or perhaps especially when forgiveness is not deserved. We don't forgive for them, we forgive for ourselves.

Rock will never die. Sure it's changed but the roots are still audible and there are and have been many good bands to keep the sound rolling on. You have to remember that people change also, taste changes and they/we/you and I tune in to different sounds. I'm 60 so I also had the pleasure of growing up and living through two great decades with the seventies and eighties but I still hear good solid rock coming through. If it hadn't of changed in forty years it would have lost a huge audience but now depending on age we can go back and relive it, or be young enough to be listening for the first time. The fact that new bands are still influenced by a past age is enough. If they were simply carbon copies they'd be criticised. It's still rock music and we still love them for doing it and for keeping our memories alive.

Rock music is my therapy and medication for my depression and sadness. It takes me back to a time when I actually had happiness and everything was easier. I’ll forever come to all these old classic rock songs plus many more just for momentary relaxation. It’s like time travel if you will.

If you are being sincere, slow down brother. Talk to your spouse, let them know what is running through your head (filter it out before you speak, to get a feel before you unleash 10+ years of pent up feelings. Once you speak it, you can’t take it back) If they show concern, it’s a sign he/she still cares. Maybe enough to repair any damage.

Because it's a lyrical story that relates to people and times of true color. Our inside ugly when we're in our helish earthly flesh.

I know the song is supposed to have some deeper meaning about substance abuse and Recovery which I have been through. But to me right now at face value it's about a relationship or one that could have been with someone that wasn't honest with me how about having someone else in their life someone who has to be happens to be a heroin addict. I'm in recovery from opioids but not heroin and I'm clean and in recovery and doing really well. But there seems to be a greater appeal to be with an addict that's practicing for this other person. And all this time I thought it was because I wasn't enough but it wasn't even about me. It was because there was another person in the picture that I was not aware of completely as far as the true nature of that relationship so I'm on the outside looking in and I'm the one hurting

J Dilla instrumentals are on a whole other level. his beats really bring out every emotion you can think of, from feeling good to bad.

I hate to jump on the "Sad song/Sad story in the comments" bandwagon. But I half to say this.

Recently, I was good friends with this girl I liked, she was in a relationship with someone else. I sent her a letter saying, "I have no intentions to get between you and your current boyfriend, But I love you" Because of that, she decided to cut all ties with me because she was afraid her boyfriend would think something was going on, and that she, "Found it creepy I was keeping track of her relationships" Well she was on Facebook, and I have the ability to read.

It was this song, that helped me get through that rough time. I said my feelings and lost a good friend. Thank you Staind, Keep making more badass songs to get me through life.

How do you put your pants on? Those balls of yours are huge, too bad she didn't recognize that then, perhaps one day my friend, stay strong until then.

Look man, if someone if happy with who they are with, there is no point in ruining that. You are ruining two peoples lives with sentiments like that. If it she loved you like you loved her than it was meant to be. If she found love elsewhere it wasn't meant to be.

Look, it's a lot easier to get fucked over by women than you'd think. Besides getting a chick to dumb her boyfriend for someone else. Imagine that dude that go dumped out of the blue. Imagine being in love with her then being dumped for some dickbag saying he likes her on Facebook.

Whenever you try to break up a relationship you are RUINING someone else's emotions for fucking nothing. Some Pussy... really bro? Pussy is the most abundant resource on this planet.

Emotional connections... that's a rare thing...

2001... Reunited with my Mother after 11yrs of being isolated from her. My mother always loved this band after I introduced it too her... I can still hear her voice singing this song with no care in the world... But pure love.

Unfortunately my mother was taken away from me later that year. She is my hero for saving a young woman's life and risking her very own. Please people spend time with quality family and friends and loved one's before it's too late.

This songs for you Mom 💞

@VenomHek00
