Inside Out Lyrics
So finally my journey ends
And through this wound my soul can mend
Guilt is my blood
I’m being drained
This is my home, I will stay...
…inside!
There’s always someone inside
Fighting to get outside
The "knowing-right-from-wrong side"
Our home is inside!
I’ve travelled the world around
In search for some Grail of mine
How could I be so blind?
It was always here…inside
I have only some weeks to give
But at last…I live
Life’s just a line of situations
A matter of occasions
And mystic correlations
The work of a Machine!
Here in a world split to nations
We fail to see the relations
Between the Wheel and the Machine
And of the scars we’re leaving…
…inside!
I swear there’s someone inside
Fighting to get outside
Just give it all an hour
By the Concrete Lake!
And through this wound my soul can mend
Guilt is my blood
I’m being drained
This is my home, I will stay...
…inside!
There’s always someone inside
Fighting to get outside
The "knowing-right-from-wrong side"
Our home is inside!
In search for some Grail of mine
How could I be so blind?
It was always here…inside
I have only some weeks to give
But at last…I live
A matter of occasions
And mystic correlations
The work of a Machine!
Here in a world split to nations
We fail to see the relations
Between the Wheel and the Machine
And of the scars we’re leaving…
I swear there’s someone inside
Fighting to get outside
Just give it all an hour
By the Concrete Lake!

The concrete lake mentioned in this song is Lake Karachay in Russia, which was a dump for nuclear waste. The lake is now entirely covered in concrete. I don't know about now, but at one time standing at the shore of the lake for a mere hour would cause death in about a fortnight.
"I have only some weeks to give But at last…I live."
"Just give it all an hour By the Concrete Lake!"
I've read the idea is that for anyone to fully understand the wrongs of the world mentioned throughout the album, all they'd have to do is stand by the lake for an hour, which is what this song is all about.
True dat.
