Somewhere Inside
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What am I supposed to be?
One life alone
Oh, somehow it's made for me
What do I do?
What can I say?
It's nothing new
The choice was made
But what if I lose my way?
And run right into you
Deep inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
Tell me what does it take?
To breathe it into you
Weak inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
One bleeding scar
Still feels how it used to feel
It's all so wrong
No easy way to believe
What do I do?
What can I say?
It's nothing new
The choice was made
But what if I lose my way?
And run right into you
Deep inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
Tell me what does it take?
To breathe it into you
Weak inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
I wanna ride
I wanna hide
What I've become
Now you're no longer mine
I wanna feel
Something that's real
But what if I lose my way?
And run right into you
Deep inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
Tell me what does it take?
To breathe it into you,
Weak inside we'll never be anything other than lonely
I wanna ride
I wanna hide
What I've become
Now you're no longer mine
I wanna feel
Something that's real
The lyrics to Tiesto pres. Allure feat. Julie T's song Somewhere Inside speaks to the eternal struggle of one's identity and purpose. The singer first questions who she is and what she is meant to do with her life. Even though she is living only one life, it seems to be a path that is taken alone, which leaves her feeling lonely.
The following verses describe a painful scar that remains even though time has passed. The situation feels all wrong, but she acknowledges that the choice has already been made. Despite her longing for another way, she feels helpless and fears running into the person she is thinking of. She then expresses her desire to escape her current state and find something that feels real.
Ultimately, the song talks about the frustration and pain of not being able to find one's place in the world. The lyrics also convey a sense of longing for a relationship that is no longer possible, and one's struggle to move on from it. It speaks about the difficulty of finding oneself in the midst of loneliness, and how one can feel trapped in their circumstances.
