lyrs: When the door's always closed Isolation imposed I try the best I can But the gulf is too wide And I can't stand astride Such a gigantic span... This impossible distance Obscures my existence Like fog hugging autumn shores And it's building inside With each wound to my pride I can't take this anymore I'm standing right here I've not disappeared And yet you look right through me Do I not exist? A presence unmissed An unseen identity I'm on the outside Looking inward These impenetrable walls restrain me I could tear them down But I'm afraid Of what is on the other side It’s not my intention To covet attention At least no more than I'm due But you turned your back And left me in the black With nothing I could cling to Was it too much to ask Such an abhorrent task To simply acknowledge me? Some small recognition To raze this partition That makes me feel so empty I'm on the outside Looking inward These impenetrable walls restrain me I could tear them down But I'm afraid Of what is on the other side I'm at the point I might break Alone and displaced An unwelcome nobody I'm a vessel adrift Traversing the rift Consumed by an angry sea Pushed aside by the crowd And I'm screaming out loud Until my voice is raw But I won't go away From this perverse ballet As long as I've breath to draw I'm on the outside Looking inward These impenetrable walls restrain me I could tear them down But I'm afraid Of what is on the other side
This song describes what being an autistic adult is like. It is a perfect depiction in a day in my life. Thank you, Tom. You have written the words that I never could.

Still poignant and still enjoying in 2022
This song is a masterpiece, so raw but yet so emotional. True feelings are pouring through the melody, it's beautiful. The best track from the album!
With every fiber in my soul i feel this song ring all through me
Beautiful and powerful. Masterpiece of a song.
lyrs:
When the door's always closed
Isolation imposed
I try the best I can
But the gulf is too wide
And I can't stand astride
Such a gigantic span...
This impossible distance
Obscures my existence
Like fog hugging autumn shores
And it's building inside
With each wound to my pride
I can't take this anymore
I'm standing right here
I've not disappeared
And yet you look right through me
Do I not exist?
A presence unmissed
An unseen identity
I'm on the outside
Looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down
But I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
It’s not my intention
To covet attention
At least no more than I'm due
But you turned your back
And left me in the black
With nothing I could cling to
Was it too much to ask
Such an abhorrent task
To simply acknowledge me?
Some small recognition
To raze this partition
That makes me feel so empty
I'm on the outside
Looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down
But I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
I'm at the point I might break
Alone and displaced
An unwelcome nobody
I'm a vessel adrift
Traversing the rift
Consumed by an angry sea
Pushed aside by the crowd
And I'm screaming out loud
Until my voice is raw
But I won't go away
From this perverse ballet
As long as I've breath to draw
I'm on the outside
Looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down
But I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side

Alguien podría subir la letra en español.
Сочувствую четыре года прошло что так и не загрузили на испанском 3:01 3:05
Reminds me of a certain 90's tune called Outside
As a DISPOSSESSED white male living in a Cultural Marxist nightmare, this song describes how I feel every time I leave my home.
Lol no it doesn't
As far as I know the artist is bipolar, and this is not a white pride anthem, no, I hope you figured that out already.
For all the autistic people of the world, this fits. This is exactly how I feel every second of every day.
