Inside Out

Many of you know that I'm a Bryan Adams fan, and here's one of my favourites. I was listening to this today in the car, and the meaning of the lyrics struck me again...

the biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
the longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you ever sent
the boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new year's eve
the sweetest dream you had last night - your darkest hour, your hardest fight

i wanna know you - like i know myself
i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
talk to me baby - scream and shout
i want to know you - inside out

i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside

the saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one word
the lonliest prayer you ever prayed - truest vow you ever made
what makes you laugh, what makes you cry
what makes you mad, what gets you by
your highest high, your lowest low - these are the things i want to know

i wanna know you - like i know myself
i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
talk to me baby - scream and shout
i want to know you - inside out

i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside

i wanna know your soul - i wanna lose control
c'mon n'let it out - i wanna know you inside out
ya gotta dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
tell me everything...

It sounds a bit like a serial killer. Knowing a person's insides... Making the person inside out.

sam has a twisted mind..:P
when i first read this
i thought it just means that you crave to know someone, and you probably associate yourself with the first few lines..->also relating to your other post about "what if you only had one day to live" thing
i think that's what you mean?

hehe... thanks vv, I was just going to ignore Sam's comment, because of exactly that, only a twisted reading of the lyrics could come up with that conclusion! =P I wasn't actually relating to my other post... just thought the lyrics were nice =)

It's usually the other way. I say or do something or see something and I am all innocent and think that nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile Vincy / other friends thinks I am the weirdo who doesn't understand that there are evil things behind what has just happened. It's everyone else who are the ones with twisted minds.

um... I'll let you and Vincy decide amongst yourselves who's the twisted one =P

this is kind of a late comment to an earlier post..sorry to mess up your blog, son..but i don't like the whole like seeks like thing. i love the fact that opposites (to a certain extent) attract..and i don't go for asians, just happened to be that freakboy was asian :P

I wasn't endorsing the whole like seeks like thing, but I think it's understandable and broadly speaking, quite apparent. But again, it's not a rule, but a generalisation. Personally, I think it's better when people complement each other, rather than being very similar, or very dissimilar. Besides, it's very difficult to find someone completely opposite, or completely alike =P
