Inside Out

This has two references to her early work with Max Martin...Baby One More Time and Drive me Crazy. Pretty good song

~~ Here is my interpretation.

"Said you're gonna be here in a minute Sitting in the mirror, getting pretty Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up"

~~ This opening part is about a person who is ready to stop the evil inside them; to set things straight with themselves once and for all if you will, such as facing a bad habit of drinking alcohol. The first thing to stop a bad habit is to acknowledge it. The first line is anticipating the craving for the habit. They wait because they know that they will crave sooner or later.

"I can hear you knocking at the front door And I know exactly what you came for Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy"

~~ The craving has arrived. And they know what will happen because this has occurred too many times before. They've acknowledge that this bad habit/craving (alcohol) has to stop. However, no craving goes away without a fight.

"You touch me and it's breaking me down Me down, me down, me down I'm telling you, let's just give it up and get down And get down, and get down"

~~ The craving is just too powerful and they're on the verge of giving down. Past recollections about the habit are repeated in the same way the lyrics are repeated. After holding off the addiction/habit for a while, the urge is just too powerful and they give in to their cravings.

"I know that we probably shouldn't do this Wake up in the morning feeling stupid Said that we were done but you're all up on me Said that we were done but you're all up on me"

~~ This person fighting the habit knows fully well that it is a bad habit that needs to be badly terminated. They will regret it later if they give in, but alcohol is always there. Tempting you with its luxuriousness.

"Tell me how we got in this position Guess I've gotta get you out my system Try to let you go but it's not that easy Try to let you go but it's not that easy"

~~ The addiction is a big problem that this person desperately wants to get rid of. They're unaware how it got this bad. It has become deeply ingrained in their brain now that choosing to stop it is very difficult.

"So c'mon Won't you give me something to remember? Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out Even though we couldn't last forever Baby, you know what I want right now Hit me one more time, it's so amazing How you shook my world and flipped it upside down You're the only one who ever drove me crazy 'Cause you know me inside out"

~~ During the chorus is when things go a bit...untamed. The high is kicking in from the addiction and there is a brief moment of numbness going on. The feeling is so good that the person wants to remember this forever. However all good things must come to an end. This person is talking to the addiction within them and commanding them to "hit" them one last time. However as this high dies down they realize that the addiction itself is their weakness that knows them "inside out."

I think this song is just about how toxic yet irresistible certain people can be. You know they aren't good for you in the long run, but they complement a darker side of you and allow you to be exactly who you are. You know you should leave them, but you're resistant because you want them so badly.

I think it's about how would you like to have a last hug, kiss, etc... before you let someone go forever, the need to get over someone you know you're so into... it's about to say goodbye in a way you won't forget, basically

Here are the complete song lyrics:

Said you're gonna be here in a minute Sitting in the mirror, getting pretty Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up

I can hear you knocking at the front door And I know exactly what you came for Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy

You touch me and it's breaking me down Me down, me down, me down I'm telling you, let's just give it up and get down And get down, and get down

So c'mon Won't you give me something to remember? Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside Even though we couldn't last forever Baby, you know what I want right now

Hit me one more time, it's so amazing How you shook my world and flipped it upside down You're the only one who ever drove me crazy 'Cause you know me inside out

Inside out

I know that we probably shouldn't do this Wake up in the morning feeling stupid Said that we were done but you're all up on me Said that we were done but you're all up on me

Tell me how we got in this position Guess I've gotta get you out my system Try to let you go but it's not that easy Try to let you go but it's not that easy

You touch me and it's breaking me down Me down, me down, me down I'm telling you, let's just give it up and get down And get down, and get down

So c'mon Won't you give me something to remember? Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside Even though we couldn't last forever Baby, you know what I want right now

Hit me one more time, it's so amazing How you shook my world and flipped it upside down You're the only one who ever drove me crazy 'Cause you know me inside out

thank youu!

I know I've been in this situation before!

It can be very difficult to break up with someone you're incredibly attracted to.

Said you're gonna be here in a minute, sitting in the mirror, getting pretty Gotta look my best if we're gonna break up, gotta look my best if we're gonna break up I can hear you knocking at the front door and I know exactly what you came for Try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy, try to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy

You - touch me and it's breaking me down, and me down, and me down, and me down I'm telling you - let's just give it up and get down, and get down, and get down

So c'mon, won't you give me something to remember, baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out Even though we couldn't last forever, baby, you know what I want right now Hit me one more time, it's so amazing, how you shook my world and flipped it upside down You're the only one who ever drove me crazy, cuz you know me inside out, inside out

I know that we probably shouldn't do this, wake up in the morning feeling stupid Said that we were done but you're all up on me, said that we were done but you're all up on me Tell me how we got in this position, guess I gotta get you out my system Try to let you go but it's not that easy, try to let you go but it's not that easy
