Inside Out
THE STARBEMS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From across chilly north to east end
Time will show
What's the matter for you
World is waiting for you
Icy snow
Falling down from the north to east end
Let me know how 'bout you
World is waiting for you
Inside out
We can make the world go turning
Inside out
World is waiting for moves
World is waiting for you
The opening lines of THE STARBEMS's song INSIDE OUT convey a sense of foreboding, as though the cold winds blowing from the north to the east end of town indicate that something is about to happen. Perhaps there is impending change or trouble. The lyrics then suggest that time will reveal what's going on, and that the world is waiting for something. This could be interpreted as a call to action, urging the listener to be proactive and get involved in what's happening around them.
The second stanza continues the theme of the first, with references to icy snow falling from the sky and a plea for communication between two people. The repetition of the phrase "world is waiting for you" reinforces the idea that something important is happening, and that the listener has a role to play in it.
The chorus of the song, with its mantra of "inside out," suggests that change must come from within, and that by turning the world inside out, we can make a difference. The final line, "world is waiting for moves," seems to urge the listener to take action, to make something happen, and to be the change they want to see in the world.
