Analyze It!: The lyrics of Staind's "Outside."

[Mojotronica]

What the H.E.double-hockey-sticks, IYO, is the song refering to?

My guess is drug addiction, BTW...

Broken relationship. Would have voted for outside of burgeoisie, if this was on the list.

Never heard this song, but this is a good idea for discussion!

I don't think it means anything much at all. It's more like they're saying "whoa there, look at us being, like, profound, you know ". As I said in another thread, Staind is the spawn of Satan and must be terminated with extreme prejudice wherever encountered.

But that's just my opinion

I took the wanker way out.

"You hurt me and made me feel bad. Now I see you're just as bad as me. I screwed myself over for you. I feel like crap. But I've found hope."

That's my simple English interpretation. Now as to who "you" is ... depends on how you feel and who you want to blame for your current troubles on.

Okay, I'll analyze it...

Its a song written to sound deep by someone who is, in fact, really shallow but realizes if he strings the right enough emotional words together and sings it like he is constipated, enough people will say "Wow, that really speaks to me", buy the album, and make him filthy rich so he can write about his pain some more.

Unfortunately I didn't see that on the list so I voted for the first option.

Yep that's Aaron Lewis for you.
