Inside
Technicolour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You haven't been at home in three whole days
and now you're at the door flowers in hand
form a cheap gift shpå just down the street
you think that it's enough she'll understand

How does it feel?
inside
inside

You'r quick at coming up with little white lies
but how did they become black alibis
and now you're in so deep and there's no way out
you dug yourself a grave and here you lie

How does it feel?
inside
inside
how does it feel?
how does it feel?
how does it feel?
inside

She looked at you, she saw through you
and then she said these words




you're never there, so I don't care
the she closed the door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Technicolour's song, "Inside," depict the aftermath of a lover's infidelity. The song begins on a note of desperation, as the singer returns home after having been gone for three days, bearing a bouquet of flowers from a "cheap gift shop." He hopes that this small gesture will placate his wronged lover, that she'll "understand" the situation and forgive him. However, it is clear that there is a widening gulf between them, and the gesture is too little, too late.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on his own culpability in the situation, recognizing that he has been "quick at coming up with little white lies" that have snowballed into "black alibis." It is clear that there is no way out of this situation, as he has "dug himself a grave" through his actions. The chorus repeats the line, "How does it feel? Inside," suggesting that the singer is grappling with intense shame and guilt over his actions.


The song concludes with the singer's lover confronting him directly, stating that she "doesn't care" as he has been absent from her life for so long. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the door closing on any hope of reconciliation.
