Inside Out
resident hero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Innocense and all your stubborn ways
Drew me in and now I can't escape
And now I can't escape
I'm just kidding
"You got me"
"You got me"
Turned inside out (2x)
All the pain is cleansed and washed away

It's not love but maybe there's more
Than what I'm looking
I'm just kidding
"You got me"
"You got me"
Turned inside out (2x)
Inside out
Inside out
I know you
I'm just kidding
"You got me"
"You got me"
Turned inside out (3x)
Inside out

Inside out
I know you

They feel like they have been turned inside out, as if this person has exposed all of their vulnerabilities and secrets. The pain and emotional turmoil that the singer was feeling before has been washed away by this person's presence, but they acknowledge that it might not be love, just a temporary reprieve from their problems.

The chorus, "Inside out, inside out, I know you," suggests that the singer has some level of familiarity with this person, even though they are just starting to get to know them. The repeated refrain of "You got me" implies that the singer is somewhat helpless in the face of this person's charms, even if they know deep down that it might not be healthy for them.

Overall, the lyrics to "Inside Out" suggest a complicated and emotional relationship, where the singer is caught between their desire for this person and their understanding that it might not be good for them in the long run.

Line by Line Meaning

Innocence and all your stubborn ways
Your naivety mixed with your strong convictions charmed me

Drew me in and now I can't escape
I am trapped in your allure

And now I can't escape
Your hold on me is too strong

I'm just kidding
I don't really mean what I just said

"You got me"
You have my attention and admiration

"You got me"
You have my loyalty and devotion

Turned inside out (2x)
With you, I am completely vulnerable and transparent

All the pain is cleansed and washed away
Being with you erases all my past traumas and hurts

It's not love but maybe there's more
Our connection is deeper than romantic love

Than what I'm looking
I didn't know I needed this kind of relationship until I met you

Inside out
My true self is on display when I'm with you

Inside out
You see all my flaws and weaknesses, but still love me

I know you
I am familiar with your personality and character

I'm just kidding
I don't want to sound too serious, but I really mean it

"You got me"
You make me feel alive and valued

"You got me"
You make me feel complete and whole

Turned inside out (3x)
I am exposed and open with you in ways I never thought possible

Inside out
Our relationship is unconventional and unpredictable

Inside out
We challenge each other to be better and grow together

I know you
I understand your needs and desires
