Dead Inside
Why Everyone Left Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never be the same
You made this pit I'm fallin' in
I wish I could forget your name
I may be lost but I keep tellin' everyone
I'm fine but I can't feel myself alive
Cause now I'm dead inside
It's like an endless night
I'm screamin' but no one can hear me
I'm leavin' you behind
Loneliness will show me the meaning
Just promise me you won't be there
Cause now I'm dead inside
Last night I took a walk I couldn't sleep again
I wrote a letter to myself I'll never have the nerve to read
Take time to heal up
Never put the others first again
Be strong enough to pick yourself up
When nobody will
Cause now I'm dead inside
If I opened up would you believe me?
It's like an endless night
I'm screamin' but no one can hear me
I'm leavin' you behind
Loneliness will show me the meaning
Just promise me you won't be there
Cause now I'm dead inside
And if you're comin' to save me
I'm gonna show you the mess that I've become
There's no way
I'll ever be okay
With you around
Don't make a sound
Cause now I'm finally starting to make plans
To move on
I hate to feel alone
Cause now I'm dead inside
If I opened up would you believe me?
It's like an endless night
I'm screamin' but no one can hear me
I'm leavin' you behind
Loneliness will show me the meaning
Just promise me you won't be there
Cause now I'm dead inside
The song "Dead Inside" by Why Everyone Left is a heart-wrenching ballad that focuses on the feeling of being completely empty and isolated, despite trying to put on a brave face. The opening lines "Wish me good luck and leave, I'll never be the same" set the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with longing and despair. The singer wishes they could forget the person who caused their heartache, but they continue to feel lost and alone, despite their attempts to convince others otherwise.
In the chorus, the singer reveals that they feel as though they are dead inside, and that they are constantly screaming, but no one can hear their cries. They are desperate to find meaning in their loneliness and to move on from the pain, but they are scared to open up and let others in. The final verse is a plea for the person who caused the heartbreak to stay away, as the singer is finally starting to make plans to move on, but they are afraid they will never be okay with that person around.
Overall, "Dead Inside" is a powerful song that captures the feeling of being alone and lost, and the struggle to find meaning and hope in the darkest of times.

Oi, you practically stole my comment to make a video =p
Quick note - I aint in a city and whenever I have been in cities. Be it this country or others. Its obviously very different energy. Their 'energy' isnt so much dead but it isnt a positive vibe I pick up. Idk what words I would use but essentially something like, angry, bitter, negative, chip on shoulder, narcistic, idk. Its a different world compared to what im used to.
Tbh as much as I can read body language im not expert at it - However reading emotions as an empath I would consider myself naturally inclined. I FEEL the absence of energy in people. Their existence is weak. Maybe a better way describe is ghostly. I mean .. For me I think its because theres those with self awareness and those without. Im not particularly' inclined to think we in a simulation but for sake of discussion it is basically like a video game and some people running around are real players and the others arnt. I dont truly' believe that though. I think its closer to an analogy of a zoo. Their domesticated humans. If you think of it in a sense of a lion. That energy of a lion in a zoo is going to be different than the energy of a wild lion.
Im a wild lion. I aint ganna be tamed. I have my own individuality. There are other wild lions out there and I do meet them on occasion. However most people are the roped elephant that could pull up the stake holding them down but been trained to think they cannot.
Honestly. Thats my thoughts. It is what it is. They aint my problem. I focus on myself. I live by example. Let them waste their lives. Its not black and white, its a scale, there are plenty people I can interact with that stimulate me. This general topic doesnt make them bad people at all. Most of them are pleasant. There are also different types and different levels to awareness. Personally speaking I dont mind any path someone takes aslongs as they freaking pick one and resist the zoo encagement at minimum. Like seriously .. Blink if you can think an independent thought. Thats good enough for me.
The actual issue is - Some of the people that are trapped can be dangerous. I dont mean to be political because its not as black and white as that but the people who are essentially fooled by wokism are usually very dangerous and I avoid them. A lot of anger in them. Toxicity. Irrationality. I find it very unpleasent to be around them by the vibe they give. Virtue signalling and all that while holding a dagger behind their back. They got a lot of power currently and its very distasteful to my natural instincts when im around them. I make sure to surround myself with positive people who are in a stage of growth instead. I dont mind if I disagree with people but I rather have people that have some skin in the game rather than the lost souls that have nothing to lose.
End day. If I was an elephant and each day I moved so the rope/stake didnt stop me. Theres some people that observe me and learn that they can do the same. While theres others that get pissed off im not following the rules and will make noise to alert the zoo keeper. I live by example and do my best to survive this world. Its the best any of us can do I guess.

Iv become aware that my own ideologies if you were to call them that are a factor in my life.
For example, an easy one for me. If I was asked a question such as - "What film character would you identify with" - I may pick someone like the Joker. Basically very smart, doesnt give a fuck, will burn the money, etc. Im beginning to understand the significance of what you are thinking/believe creates your reality. Aka - Im actually a somewhat self destructive individual. Its holding me back in life as I limit myself once I reach a certain level by becoming self destructive. I like to have a fight in my life .. Because when I was a kid that is what I had to do. I adopted that into adult life. I require a system to fight as part of my core identity. In many ways that has proven useful to me .. Except for the part where the joker burns the money and can be self destructive. I dont mind other aspects of the Jokers identify but some of it isnt useful to me.
I burn bridges. However even a simple shift of the mind can help a lot with that. I can still maintain boundaries, understand that instead of 'burning bridges' I am disassembling bridges with a poor foundation. Maybe even re-using resources to build a better bridge in a more efficient path across the river.
A maybe easier way to understand a aspect of what I am saying is -- If I was to make the statement "I want to be free" -- That by default is saying you arnt free if you are wishing it. I shift of the mind would be something like -- "I need to remember who I am" aka - Someone who is already free, forgotten, and simply needs to remember.
Im as trapped as most other people are but just in a different way. I dont really have a teacher and slowly figuring this stuff out as I go.
@astroborne6045
This was really well said Josh. I'm about to graduate from college and I'm happy that I chose the career path that brings me greater life fulfillment.
@MindsetWithJosh
That's awesome to hear! It's interesting how we go to college so young—since most people have no idea what they want to do in life that early on. So you get a lot of people wandering aimlessly through college or taking the route their parents or society tells them to take. It's no wonder so many people are unhappy and lacking purpose! It's cool to hear that you were able to figure out what you want to do early on and that you didn't let anyone sway you away from it
@TheStan80
Medication given out like sweets. Social media is a toxic addiction. The movie fight club explains existence. Matrix explains the system. Social media destroyed originality and identity.
@MindsetWithJosh
Well said. People are meandering through life without any sense of purpose, and with tons of things that can provide means of escaping from the unfortunate realization of that. A life without purpose is a tough pill to swallow, so a lot of people devolve into chasing pleasure to cope with it
@yazz2jazz313
Really appreciate the message your putting out Josh. I love reading and art..and even though I'm in my 20's I think when we grow up we loose that awe and wonderment that we can have as a child. So from reading and opening my mind up to so many different topics and learning new things my brain is soaking knowledge up like a sponge! And am finding its bringing back that wonderment and fascination of our world once again! I mean this world really is pretty awesome!
It seems to be important especially now with how our society seems to be going and sad to say I agree with you man. I see it to..its like people are zombies..it is a bit un nerving! I think alot of people are not very healthy and also this society we are living in seems set up for people to not be able to thrive, so the result is unhappiness , people making unhealthy or uninformed choices which then leads to a very low vibrational state of being. With the tips your sharing with us proves this can all be fixed with awareness and some hard work! But its worth it!
@MindsetWithJosh
Love hearing that, Yazz! Yeah, maintaining that childlike curiosity and wonder with the world is huge. It's an underrated quality that leads to happiness─and as you mentioned, unfortunately most people lose touch with it as they age. Glad you're rekindling it for yourself!
Ah, you brought up a great point about how people being physically unhealthy can contribute to this! That makes a lot of sense considering how important diet is for maintaining our moods. Unhealthy people will be more prone to depression, anxiety, and other things like that due to their malnutrition. Unhealthy lifestyles must contribute quite a bit to all the walking dead we see out there.
@DeniseYoungblood
Josh.....I totally agree! Especially the people that had the covid vaccines! Seriously! Also, life is not easy, and so many people are struggling in SO many different ways! ❤
@MindsetWithJosh
I have seen this look from all sorts of people, even those who didn't get the vaccine—so I doubt that has contributed to it at all. But yeah, life has certainly become harder in recent times! It is almost obvious that there are powerful people pulling the strings who are trying to dismantle the middle class
@FartyOSharty
Actually, life is easy we just make it difficult as well there are others that have a monopoly on our lives who make things outto be a certain way so that they benefit the most.
