Inside
Sunk Loto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So shut up!
You can't see inside of me
Feedin' the public lies & bullshit
Tryin' to break me, you'll never break me
I never wanted any of this
Interrogate me just like criminal that's being held in custody
And try to break me open like an eggshell motherfucker
But I saw you miles away

You'll never see inside

Don't look inside of me, You'll never see inside of me
'cause anyone outside of me will never understand
Cut your throat, spill your blood, media sensation
You can't see inside me, you can't take this
So don't look inside of me
Cut your throat, spill your blood, media sensation
You can't see inside me

Feedin' the public lies & bullshit
Tryin' to break me, you'll never break me
Don't inside of me 'cause you'll never see inside me
You can't see inside me, won't see inside of me

So shut up!
You can't see inside me

The opening line, "So shut up!" is a clear indication of the songwriter's exasperation towards the constant interference in his personal life. He believes that no matter how much the media tries to understand or break him apart, they will never be able to see the true essence of him. He sarcastically refers to the media's tactics as "feeding the public lies and bullshit" and tries to emphasize that it is all just an attempt to generate attention.

The lyrics also convey a feeling of isolation and being misunderstood. The songwriter feels that anyone outside of him will never understand him. He wants to make it clear that cutting someone's throat or spilling their blood is not a solution to understanding a person's emotions. The song is a strong and aggressive song, symbolizing the songwriter's determination to protect his inner self and preserve his individuality in the face of constant external threats. The song can be seen as a portrayal of the artist's attempt to assert himself and his identity in a world that is relentless in its attempts to break him down and consume him.
