Cover art for Outside And Inside lyrics by String Cheese Incident

so yea, def another amazing string cheese song, but this is the first time i actually read the lyrics rather than sing along with them. maybe it's just appropriate to my life now, but i think the within the song there is a verse for every moment or situation in life.

i just ended a two year, live together, relationship that took my home, my graduation date, and my damn dog. i couldn't be with her and still be free.

i moved into a friends mother's house rent free (I lost my security deposit and 1/2 a months rent) to finish college this semester (i get financial aid). my friend started dating a girl and i got 2 weeks notice to vacate with no job. dropped my classes with a B average. I felt denied. The air got thick and my hands are still tied; i cried the other day for the first time in years. The rising tide is the future and mine is looking pretty rough. My life sure doesn't feel like a dream and i'm really starting to wonder if i can get what i want and still come clean. Having said all that i think the song just describes life at the core. sometimes it's a dream, sometimes it's a struggle, but the future is going to come regardless. Be true to yourself and don't spend your life alone. and make sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

My Interpretation

@AKIMBOslice Hope things turned around for you. To quote another SCI classic, "Sometimes it seems like such a hard life, but there's good times 'round the bend"
