Looking Outside Inside Lyrics
Is this the one who thought it was insane
coming down against it all
Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it
Twisted face of fading beauty
count the cost of suffering
cannot see the day before you
only feel what's deep inside
try to change it makes no difference
Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it
Let me go
Looking outside inside craving for something
hoping for anything - I'll believe in anything
who has eyes that see - who wants to believe?
in something, in anything? in one thing
in freedom - looking outside inside
set assist pandemonium - broken promises
died alive flying high - you caught me
in your eye. disintegrated insinerated
this is not now I want to be - too much is
coming through someone please tell me what to do
looking outside inside
coming down against it all
count the cost of suffering
cannot see the day before you
only feel what's deep inside
try to change it makes no difference
hoping for anything - I'll believe in anything
who has eyes that see - who wants to believe?
in something, in anything? in one thing
in freedom - looking outside inside
set assist pandemonium - broken promises
died alive flying high - you caught me
in your eye. disintegrated insinerated
this is not now I want to be - too much is
coming through someone please tell me what to do
looking outside inside

this is my favorite anathema song by far - so kick asss
I believe that is about the frustration that produces to idealize someone who you esteem and trust, and this person betraies you
It's about self-realization.
You see everything that's happening to you, but you're viewing it as a separate source, from a collected, outside perspective.
The character in this concept now sees what he has become after catching a glimpse of himself as a child, and he is helpless to do anything about it at this time. He's broken all of the promises he made to himself as a child, and has instead resorted to a material existence with a material soul.
as @hateu i think this one is about frustration, but not for love or someone.. is about the life in general and he want become better but he can´t, so he begins to despair. Is a next step after the "release" song
