Inside Out

killer song .. so surprised its not getting traction. To me its about meeting that someone who makes you feel so complete that times stands still. I think the author may have lost that someone and is looking to God for guidance and still feel confused on why it did not work out.

I've played this song so many times. I liked what seemed to be lyrics resisting fanaticism but the more I looked at the lyrics it really sounds like a spiritual song. I think he's talking to the higher powers in life (gravity/time/only you I need) Could be a love song but I def see the lyrics as a celebration of his connection with this and how he's just a satellite who doesn't have time for a groups' perception of his ideas. They still wash his feet (try to include him in the group) but he doesn't need it. When time and gravity wear him to the point where he has nothing left to give, he gives himself up to the only thing he needs and then time/gravity/servitude have no hold on him anymore when he embraces this.

@redshiftsolarbody My interpretation is mine, there’s nothing you can do to change that…

Bashing Christianity, God and faith is not new. Maybe pay attention to lyrics a little more closely…or don’t. I don’t control you, nor would I want to. Free will.

This song confuses me only because it sounds like the author refers to "they" are washing his feet as if forced. Then states "and I won't be their soldier", which carries a very obvious meaning.

Washing of feet is very Biblically symbolic in that it means to 'wash away ones sins' and be part of Jesus. For instance: John 13: 12-17;

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples before he was crucified, even Simon Peter, who would betray him later as a symbolic gesture.

It is obvious to me that this author knows this well and is saying that he will not be a "soldier" for "them", meaning a soldier for Jesus/Christianity. Even though the author isn't clarifying who "they" are, it is strongly implied. 'Washing of the feet' is famously associated with Jesus Christ, and through this we can then say "oh then they wash my feet, they do not make me complete" could mean that Christianity did not make this person feel complete. The song lyrics are a bit arrogant.

"I don't got time for holy rollers" solidifies this interpretation.

This song has subtle context and hidden meanings. I am not surprised because this is usually how the "industry" usually rolls.
