Staind – Outside Lyrics 4 months ago
To me it is loving someone with trauma and unhealed damage that can't fully love you back though they try. I feel this song in my soul. I love her, she loves me but on many levels isn't fully capable of it so there are highs and lows.

The being on knees, the feelings of insecurity, all the stuffed feeling I have is from my own trauma. It comes out in these times, even when I have done the work. The pain just comes back again like I am living it, if I let it.

The taste of something I can never have, is the taste of her in her best states, which are rare because of her unworked trauma and stress.

So I am on the outside looking in. I get glimpses of it and every wall she puts ups that I overcome, she puts a new one right up. I love her so I keep trying but in the end its exhausting and I know she is ugly like me having my own battles I have worked on.

The imagery of the dude trying to get over all of these walls and just losing it and being exhausted at the end in is in the video hits me hard.
