“Outside” is a pandemic-inspired song that uses mundane imagery to convey a sense of horror at the death and destruction going on ‘outside our windows’.
I felt the pages turn
The newspaper's all wet and soggy
Greet Monday morning
With my cigarette and cup of coffee
Then you were walking
With a full clip
And a bag full of posies
I noticed
Outside
Outside my window
There's a body in a bag
Inside
I've got a feeling
It's the worst I've ever had
The worst I've ever had
Lock my front door and watch you
Sit on my porch you wait and
Blow kisses to my daddy
'Cus I've become so lazy
Dinner's ready
Going steady
Sit alone with an empty belly
Outside
Outside my window
There's a body in a bag
Insidе
I've got a feeling
It's the worst I've еver had
[x2]
Sometimes
Sometimes it feels like
This is never gonna end
'Cus inside
Inside, I've got a feeling
It's the worst I've ever had
It's the worst I've ever had
[x12]
