Inside Out Lyrics
Time's gone inside out
Time gets to start again
There's intense gravity
I don't got time for Holy Rollers
But then they wash my feet
And I won't be their soldier
There's intense gravity
There's intense gravity
I'm just your satellite
I'm just your satellite
Ooo, and I know that time's gone inside out
And now it's only like we told ya
Mmm, though then they wash my feet
They did not make me complete
Break out of character for me
Time keeps on going with
We got nothing else to give
We got nothing else to give
Oooh, cause our time's gone inside out
I don't make time for holy rollers
Mmm, there's only you and me
They do not make me complete
Time gets to start again
There's intense gravity
I don't got time for Holy Rollers
But then they wash my feet
And I won't be their soldier
There's intense gravity
I'm just your satellite
I'm just your satellite
And now it's only like we told ya
Mmm, though then they wash my feet
They did not make me complete
Time keeps on going with
We got nothing else to give
We got nothing else to give
I don't make time for holy rollers
Mmm, there's only you and me
They do not make me complete

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.
@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.
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.
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.
@teddsterpinx I wonder if it's not an outright rejection of faith (Christianity, or at least it's values), but more the rejection of the "holy rollers". Theres "intense gravity" drawing him there, but then they wash my feet and it doesnt matter...THEY dont make me complete. "It's only you I need. They (Holy Rollers) do not make me complete".

Just because I'm not a holy roller, doesnt mean I dont have faith.

@mblydude True, however the music industry is owned and operated by Satan- this is definitely a song fully rejecting Christianity exclusively as there are many references to the Christian Bible in this song.

“It’s only you I need.” Who, Lucifer? Lucifer is the only one whose sins cannot be washed away by God (washing of the feet), he IS sin.

“I won’t be their soldier.” This is a really mild but transparent example for anyone who understands the Bible, the story of Lucifer and the fact that the entertainment industry is strictly in the business of proselytizing Luciferianism....

The lyrics currently in today’s mainstream music are way more bold, no longer hiding in plain sight and it is because less people are aware of the contents of the Bible, the angel of music “Lucifer” or his father God. “There is nothing new under the sun.” This is not new, it’s just becoming more abundantly clear as the years go on.
@teddsterpinx you need to take it easy fella. A song about a girl isn't devil music.

The more sophisticated and convoluted an interpretation, the more likely it is wrong.

The "holy rollers" may be a reference to preachers. He could be saying, what they are offering him doesn't make him feel complete, but he is captured by the gravity of a girl and for that moment, time stands still. Seems like a twist on a conventional love song.
