Inside Us All is the best song to come out by the runaway Christian rockers Creed since their conception. It deals with depression, it's effects, and the light at the end of the tunnel that we all strive to find.
"When I'm all alone, and no one else is there, waiting by the phone to remind me I'm still here."
The protagonist has secluded himself in his own little world, shutting him off from everyone else. His only connection to reality is that the phone is beside him, and that a call might awaken him from the trance.
"When shadows paint the scenes where spotlights used to fall..."
After being popular and loved, he is left alone, in the shadows of isolation. These shadows scare even more, because they used to drown out in the limelight, destroyed by the applause of the crowd.
"…and I’m left wondering, ‘Is it really worth it all?’”
Is all this pain and agony worth it? Will my efforts be recognized? Or will I just whither away and be forgotten along with the years, the headlines, and the music.
“There’s a peace inside us all. Let it be your friend.”
In each human being, there is tranquility, an inner-peace that no one can touch, hold, or steal. Many people let go of this peace, try to make it go away, or just don’t see it during their darkest hours. We must embrace this peace if we ever want to get out of the darkened hole of depression.
“It will help you carry on in the end.”
Everything has to end, but end it in love rather than hate.
“Life can hold you down if you’re not looking up.”
We can stumble during our lives if we do not pay attention. We must be attentive to what is going on around us, and not to fall into our own little dream worlds.
“Can’t you hear the sounds? Hearts beating out loud.”
Sometimes, our ears are mute to those around us. Each person is precious, and each person deserves recognition.
“Although the names change, inside we’re all the same.”
Each person is different, but we are all equal in one sense: We all feel love, hate, desperation, anger, trust, and embarrassment.
“Why can’t we tear down the walls and show the scars we’re covering?”
We build up walls with our differences, and they further add to our suffering. Tear down these walls, let everyone see you clearly, and show them what you’re hiding. Everyone has scars. Some more than others, but we all have them.
Honestly, I don’t like the band that much, but this song is absolutely amazing. May you find peace.
