Inside Out
Thea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If these walls could talk
They would have a story of their own
With every word they've called
No one knows me better than home

All my secrets and my fears
Been guarded here for years
It's where I keep them safe

If you know me inside out
You'll know just what I mean
The way in which I see the things that I believe
Looking from the outside in
It's not quite how it seems
So empty out my mind
I'll share with you what's mine

Taking this time to think
Learnt a lot about being me
I've sorted through everything
And now it's so much clearer to see
In the garden there are birds
So many go unheard
On the grapevine, their way to fly

If you know me inside out
You'll know just what I mean
The way in which I see the things that I believe
Looking from the outside in
It's not quite how it seems
So empty out my mind
I'll share with you what's mine

Inside outside in
Inside outside in
Inside outside in
Inside outside in

If you know me inside out
You'll just what I mean
The way in which I see the things that I believe
Looking from the outside in
It's not quite how it seems




So empty out my mind
I'll share with you what's mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Thea's song, "Inside Out" explore the idea that our homes hold a significant part of our personal lives and identities. The walls of the home symbolize the protection and safety that the character finds in their home, where they keep their secrets and fears guarded. The character believes that if the walls could talk, they would have their own story to tell, as they have witnessed all the words that the character has spoken within them.


The character then invites someone to get to know them from the inside out rather than just looking at them from the outside in. The idea that the perspective of someone looking in from the outside is not the same as the reality of the character's experience is expressed in the lyrics, "It's not quite how it seems." The character opens up and offers to share their personal experiences, unburdening themselves of their innermost thoughts.


Overall, "Inside Out" by Thea is an insightful and emotional song that emphasizes the importance of our homes and personal spaces in our lives. It demonstrates the value of opening up to others and being vulnerable in sharing one's personal experiences.
