"Outside and Inside" was once a title to a song I recorded when I was a youth. In those days where I looked at music with a naiviety that these years wouldn't allow. Instead, I now examine music for what it is: entertainment. Aspirations to develop a career out of such arts seem trivial, yet all too possible now, but in retrospect the track captured the same innocence that I approached the task with. I still like listening to it.
The song was about an experience, that I refuse to further delve into beyond this, with a girl. How does this relate to the title? Well, at the time I began studying philosophy, religions, and the principles behind self-understanding. In those periods of time, I can recall the idea of "As so above, is below" sticking with me. I related that to the living experience. The relation being that overt behavior, whether in man, or technology, will indicate internal strife. So, if my screen was to malfunction right now, I'd immeditately recall experiences with previous malfunction, which would eventually lead me to spyware, worms, viruses, and problems with the hardwire. As foremention, this would be the same evaluation that I'd retrieve from malfunction with mankind. When examining the issues of politics, I try to deduce them to daily, social human problems - not only to make them easily accessible, but also easily solved, which leads me back to the thoughts I had on the girl, and the recording.
The song's lyrics made allusions to the Shakespearan thoughts that life was a stage, photographic memory, and generally capturing the inversion and oversion's of a specific female's personality. It was a study of a simple interaction, and seeing through things to their depths. It was a play on the shallowness of the stereotype on the average man/musician or bravado, ending the track with an echo, but not before saying:
"...A lot of she's
And only one I...
I see you though
Outside and Inside"
By the way, I only clicked on the title because I thought it was a reference to Charlie Sheen. I was a little disappointed, Matty
