Each Measure Feature: Skar de Line
FEATURE
“Inside” by Skar de Line has one of the most unique sound designs I have heard in a song. The best way I can describe it is hypnotic. You’ll find yourself hooked into the percussion quickly. Amongst the myriad of melodies and instruments is the heart of this song: the insightful lyrics. The song’s central theme is self-discovery and I liked the message he was sending about it. He talks about how true insight comes from the outside. In other words, we need an outsider’s perspective to really understand who we are. He furthers this idea with various allusions to Pandora from Greek mythology. One example of this is “In the eyes of Pandora I am closer than before”. I enjoyed this reference and its impact on the song. Discovering who we are is a monumental task, one that requires us to dig far deeper than most of us are comfortable with. But, as the song points out, this is vital to discovering our truth and we must take that risk.
My overall thoughts on this song is that it’s a captivating beat with insightful lyrics that will leave you wondering about what it means to look at ourselves truly. I’ve listened to it several times, noticing new ideas within the lyrics. Now I’m motivated to grab my journal and start looking into my own life! Also, if you have the time, make sure to check out the music video! It is absolutely gorgeous in terms of cinematography. The lighting and set down are top notch plus there are some fantastic practical effects. All of this works together to highlight the central themes of the song which really enhances the experience.
