Inside Out
Trash Boat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All eyes on me, spill my blood and show my shame
Even when I close my eyes, I see it in my sleep
And I've wasted so much time, now I'm taking back my dreams
Soul so heavy, soul so heavy
Still pretending I can hold my own 'cause it's all I've ever known
I'll be there watching, watching as it washes you away
One and the same, just a phantom I refuse to name
All eyes on me, spill my blood and show my shame
War of attrition, I do this to myself
Of my own volition, I compromise my mental health
Condescending, condescending
Never ending ways to bring me down, drag my face into the ground
Wait for the rain
I'll be there watching, watching as it washes you away
One and the same, just a phantom I refuse to name
All eyes on me, spill my blood and show my shame
Nothing lasts forever, you will die with me
I've wasted so much time, now I'm taking back my dreams
All eyes on me, spill my blood and show my shame
Wait for the rain
I'll be there watching, watching as it washes you away
Wait for the rain
I'll be there watching, watching as it washes you away
One and the same, just a phantom I refuse to name
All eyes on me, spill my blood and show my shame
The song "Inside Out" by Trash Boat is a deep dive into the struggles of mental health and the internal battles that come with it. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is haunted by their own thoughts, as they grapple with seductive whispers that reign within their veins. They feel as though all eyes are on them, waiting for them to slip up, and reveal their shame. The person struggles to hold their own, because they have grown accustomed to pretending that everything is alright, even when it isn't. They feel as though they are in a war of attrition that they are doing to themselves.
Throughout the song, the recurring theme is waiting for the rain. It is a metaphor for a release, a way to wash away the hardships and pain that come with mental illness. The person is hoping it will cleanse them of their sorrow, relieve them of their burden, and bring a new beginning. The song declares that nothing lasts forever, and that the person will take their dreams back, even if it means acknowledging and embracing their shame. In the end, the person is determined to overcome their struggles.

Do you find for instance that some of the hardship that you went through as a child strikes chords, brings memories to you when you’re actually formulating a characterization, a part? What makes you think there aren’t hardships when you’re grown up?
