Tony Stark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not really sure of the things that you want from me I'm pushing around all the weight that you drop on me.
I'm not gonna drown in the wake of you stopping me.
Well ... I'm out of your ...
Drag me in, drag me out of your ...
And I keep falling in, falling out of your life.
I don't know if I can be all that you want for me.
I don't know if I can be all that you want for me.
I know that I can't be the things that you are, you are.
Well ... I'm out of your ...
You drag me in, drag me out of your ...
And I keep falling in, falling out of your life.
Why can't you see?
The lyrics to Tony Stark's song Insider describe a sense of uncertainty and being weighed down by the expectations of someone else. The singer admits to not knowing what the other person wants from them and feeling burdened by the weight they drop on them. However, the singer also asserts their strength, refusing to drown in the wake of the other person's actions. They acknowledge their own limitations, unsure if they can fulfill the other person's desires for them, while also expressing a desire to be everything that person is to them. Despite this internal conflict, the singer remains enmeshed in this relationship, constantly falling in and out of the other person's life.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of emotional complexity and struggle, with the singer wrestling with their own feelings and those of the other person. The repetition of the lines "I'm not really sure of the things that you want from me" and "I don't know if I can be all that you want for me" highlights the singer's uncertainty and lack of clarity. At the same time, the repeated refrain of "drag me in, drag me out of your life" emphasizes the push and pull of the relationship, with the other person exerting a forceful influence over the singer.

Getting the Iron Man role clearly changed this man's life for good! It could've been Tom Cruise but thank goodness for Robert Downey Jr!
@itsAyanAli
Robert Downey Jr. fits the role of Ironman so well, I'm happy for him
@SpammytheHedgehog
I hope Robert Downey Jr. at least has a single Iron Man suit.
@cybercat29
I just LOVE Robert Downey Jr.'s dome home!
@seanding2124
A man's success is defined by the distance between him and Home Depot. Kudos to RDJ.
@barrun2654
Wow he lives in a very sturdy structure and he saves a lot of electricity . It's hurricane proof too 😂
@scubatrucker6806
I love this style of home. I would build one on the Florida coastline.
@dvska
Musgum+Hyperadobe is the answer. Wautillarium is the option.
@elitelifestyle3355
That's an insane home, worthy of iron man.
@MrGriff305
glad that he likes it, but the architecture couldn't possibly be worse in my opinion 😅
