The Steinbecks: Inside, Out

about

“Inside, Out’ reflects on the idea (and the lived reality, for inmates) of imprisonment. Joel and I both live in Castlemaine, in central Victoria, home to the Old Castlemaine Gaol – a gold rush era penitentiary – and the modern day Loddon Prison. We see these past and present prisons daily. The song is also inspired by two great books about imprisonment – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s ‘One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich’ and Brian Keenan’s ‘An evil cradling.’” Josh Meadows

lyrics

Within the stone walls of the penitentiary
Did my penance – no one there to see
Swallows mock me – yes, they fly
At night the camp lights block the stars from the sky

Betrayed today by a treacherous breeze
You overcome by staying off your knees
But I had no feelings in my fingers and toes
And no pockets in my featureless clothes

It’s about
Inside, out

I’ve been this alone
But I’ve never felt so low
I’ve been this alone
But I’ve never felt so low

Within the stone walls of the penitentiary
Did my penance – no one there to see
