Artist/Band: Pink Floyd
Lyrics for Song: Wearing The Inside Out
Lyrics for Album: The Division Bell [1994]



From morning to night I stayed out of sight

Didn't recognise what I'd become

No more than alive I'd barely survive

In a word...overrun



Won't hear a sound

From my mouth

I've spent too long

On the inside out

My skin is cold

To the human touch

This bleeding heart's

Not beating much



I murmured a vow of silence and now

I don't even hear when I think aloud

Extinguished by light I turn on the night

Wear its darkness with an empty smile



I'm creeping back to life

My nervous system all awry

I'm wearing the inside out



Look at him now

He's paler somehow

But he's coming round

He's starting to choke

It's been so long since he spoke

Well he can have the words right from my mouth



And with these words I can see

Clear through the clouds that covered me

Just give it time then speak my name

Now we can hear ourselves again



I'm holding out

For the day

When all the clouds

Have blown away

I'm with you now

Can speak your name

Now we can hear

Ourselves again



He's curled into the corner

But still the screen is flickering

With an endless stream of garbage to

...curse the place

In a sea of random images

The self-destructing animal

Waiting for the waves to break



He's standing on the threshold

Caught in fiery anger

And hurled into the furnace he'll

...curse the place

He's torn in all directions

And the screen is still flickering

Waiting for the flames to break


Wearing The Inside Out

Released on The Division Bell in 1994, "Wearing The Inside Out" stands as a defining track in Pink Floyd's late-period discography. The song features the band's signature progressive rock structure, blending intricate guitar work and synthesizers with a driving rhythm section. It was recorded during a period of significant artistic evolution for the group, marking a departure from the conceptual albums of the 1970s toward a more direct, radio-friendly sound while retaining their complex musical identity. The track showcases the collaborative effort of the remaining members, delivering a powerful and emotive experience that encapsulates the band's enduring legacy in the genre.
