Inside Out
Tirzah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could run out, or see him again
I'm inside out, you're obvious
It's so reel me out
I could wait another year
For you to change or disappear
I'm bored of lust, aren't you the same?
(and again x9)
Now I've got, now I've got nothing
See if you end up hurting
When I found out that you never loved me
And it's just like I'm in this for nothing
Text me every now to tell when you're near or home [?]
I could wait around, well that's a "maybe"
If it's up to you, I know you'd let it go
You're only here enough to love me
I'm inside out
Now I've got, now I've got nothing
Now I've got nothing
I'm inside out
The lyrics of Tirzah's song "Inside Out" convey a sense of frustration and discontentment in a romantic relationship that seems to be going nowhere. The singer of the song can't decide whether to express her dissatisfaction and leave the relationship or to stay and wait for something to change. The opening lines suggest that she's torn between these two options, and she's unsure of how to proceed. She feels like she's "inside out," and her emotions and thoughts are all jumbled up and difficult to make sense of.
The repeated references to waiting and trying again indicate that this is not a new situation - the singer and her partner have struggled with these issues before. The line "I'm bored of lust, aren't you the same?" suggests that the initial spark and passion of the relationship have fizzled out, and they are both feeling disillusioned. The final lines seem to indicate a sense of resignation or acceptance of the situation, even though it's not entirely satisfying. The singer has nothing, and it seems unlikely that anything will change.
Overall, "Inside Out" is a poignant and relatable song about the complexities of romantic relationships and the often-difficult decisions we face when trying to navigate them.

Listened to it. Fell in love. Kept listening. Loved even more. Searched for Vinyl. Got depressed, cause sold out everywhere. Found Vinyl in Japan. Ordered. Waiting. Still listening.
