Stay On The Outside
Whitey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could've been should've been one, two,three, but recently something has happened to me
Everything always came easily but today I woke up and felt nothing
Could it be that finally finding out that there's absolutely nothing to shout about
Faced with the choice of just losing my voice I'd just rather shut up and say nothing

On the outside we have to stick together
On the downside you just get in the way
I see grey skies and I feel alittle better
I see grey skies ahead and it's fine by me oh oh
The right people seem squeaky clean well all the right people mean nothing to me
Cheatin' and creepin' just to stay on track they'll offer one hand and point a knife in your back
Noticed that something is terribly wrong when they offer the world and you turn and they're gone
You knew from the start you could never belong
You came from the outside, just stay on the inside

Stay on the outside

Places just pass me by
If I told you I was sorry I'd be telling a lie
I'm way happy, I'm way outside and I'll be happy as long as I stay here
Just stay right out
I'm about to give you something to complain about
Don't you know just stay right out
Better stay back and do nothing

On the outside we like to stick together
On the downside you just get in the way
I see grey skies ahead and I feel alittle better
I see grey skies ahead and it's fine by me oh
All the right people seem squeaky clean
Well all the right people mean nothing to me
Creepin' and cheatin' to stay on track
Offer one hand and put a knife in your back
Notice that something is terribly wrong when they offer the world and they turn and they're gone
You knew from the start you could never belong
You came from the outside, just stay on the outside

Live on the outside
Willing to offer you nothing at all
Make no mistake
If your looking for answers you're in the wrong place
If your asking for answers you're in the wrong place
There's absolutely nothing I'm trying to say
Just watch where you walk when you're losing the way




Step up from the outside
Stay on the outside

Overall Meaning

In Whitey's "Stay On The Outside," the lyrics discuss the idea of feeling like an outsider and how sometimes that can be a good thing. The opening lines suggest a change in the singer, as they reflect on how things used to come easily to them, but now they feel nothing. They question whether this feeling might be due to realizing that there is nothing to be excited about. The choice then becomes to either say nothing and lose their voice or just stay on the outside and observe.


The song is about the singer's conviction that it is better to stay outside of any harmful circles which exist in the social world. He does not want to mix with 'creepy and cheating' people who offer the world but then immediately vanish when it is required. The reference to typical sociopathic behavior highlights the dangers and risks of involving oneself with the wrong people. By staying on the outside, the singer feels that they can avoid these negative experiences.


In conclusion, the song seems to advocate for the idea of embracing individuality and not feeling the need to fit in with the crowd. It suggests that it is better to stay true to oneself and not be swayed by the expectations set by others. The song encourages listeners to stay on the outside and to make their own decisions, even if they seem unconventional.

There's absolutely nothing I'm trying to say
I'm not trying to make any point, just expressing my opinion.


Just watch where you walk when you're losing the way
Be careful when you're feeling lost and unsure of your path in life.


Step up from the outside
Take a risk and try to integrate into the mainstream.


Stay on the outside
As an outsider, I should stay true to who I am and embrace my differences.
