On The Inside Lyrics
You life is like a crack in the mirror
Seven years of bad luck, it ain't getting better now
And after all is said and done
Your reflection in the window is the same old face
Background, small town, every way you look around
Tell me what you're running from
Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
Nothing faster than the speed of your leaving
A hundred miles an hour and there ain't no slowing down
But you can't outrun yourself
Hey, you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you are skipping like a broken record going 'round
And you are the last to ask for help
Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
There's never really been the question of how far
The beginning of every destination, there you are
You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
Oh you can pretend it'll be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it it's a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still love you on the inside
Seven years of bad luck, it ain't getting better now
And after all is said and done
Your reflection in the window is the same old face
Background, small town, every way you look around
Tell me what you're running from
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
A hundred miles an hour and there ain't no slowing down
But you can't outrun yourself
Hey, you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you are skipping like a broken record going 'round
And you are the last to ask for help
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
The beginning of every destination, there you are
Hide where you're sure won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
Oh you can pretend it'll be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it it's a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
My view on this song is about a person who feels they don't and will never belong. So they try running away, and only to realise that running will never work for them because of the life they've had.
I think that the song is saying that the guy in the song has been running from his past for seven years, changing his identity and skipping town whenever he's found out or his past catches out. He tells himself everythings going to be fine but he knows its just a lie. He's still who he was back then and he can't escape himself and his memories. Like the song says, he'll always be the same inside.
