State of the Art w/DJ Lethal Lyrics

There's no way to find out what's inside you
Until you fall into the hole
You dug for yourself while you slept here
Too young, too selfish, too cold

And when you find out what's been waiting
The moment you open your eyes
You'll see your true reflection
The very first time in your life

You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied

Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You'll do what you've always done best
You run

Into the hole you fall deeper
Deeper the faster you run
It won't stop until you accept it
Accept everything that you've done

You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied

Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You'll do what you've always done best
You run

I think this song's meaning goes on the same line as crawling. Not being comfortable of who you are. Your insecurities force you to live a lie, but later on you realize it and you hate yourself. You hate what you've done/become. You try to "run" from yourself but you always hear that inner demon inside your head. "You cannot fight what's in you, This will not be denied"

Amazing song. I can't work out if he's singing it about himself or someone else... It's pretty much saying you need to accept your screw-ups- Not run away from them Is that right??

Either that or this person is just now finding out what kind of person they truly are. It sounds like they've been living under the impression that they are one thing, instead of actually seeing the exterior that they show to the world. As soon as they see this, the reality of the things that they've done hits them and they want to run and hide. You can't hide from yourself.
