“The Outsider” is a driven pop song from Marina’s debut album The Family Jewels. The lyrics concern Marina’s introversion, which she often talks about in her music, but go deeper to identify Marina as an outsider.
Even when surrounded by friends or family, she feels taken over by dark thoughts. Ma...
[Verse 1]
Feeling like a loser, feeling like a bum
Sitting on the outside, observing the fun
Don't get on my bad side, I can work a gun
Hop into the backseat, baby, I'll show you some fun
[Pre-Chorus]
These people are weird in here
And they're giving me the fear
Just because you know my name
Doesn't mean you know my game
I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there more to lose than gain
If I go on my own again?
[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside...
[Verse 2]
People are connecting, don't know what to say
I'm good at protecting what they wanna take
Spilt the milk at breakfast, hit me double-hard
And I grinned at you softly 'cause I'm a fucking wild card
[Pre-Chorus]
These people are weird in here
And they're giving me the fear
Just because you know my name
Doesn't mean you know my game
I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there more to lose than gain
If I go on my own again?
[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside... (Again, again)
[Bridge]
(Outside...)
All I know is I cannot pretend
So I'm sitting on the outside again
(Inside...)
[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside... (Again)
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside...
[Outro]
Inside, again
Inside, again
Inside, again
Inside, again
