Diamonds On The Inside Lyrics

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar

She couldn't spend one day alone
But she couldn't be satisfied

When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself
A bed of nails
And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use

'Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune you need

So tell me why, the first to ask, is the last to give, every time
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind

'Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

Like a soldier standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief

But she had diamonds on the inside
'Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

What is the Meaning of Diamonds On The Inside?

This song explores the dichotomy of outward appearances versus inner worth. The girl named 'truth' is paradoxically a 'horrible liar', suggesting that people often show a different exterior to the world than what they truly are inside. The diamonds on the inside symbolize her intrinsic value and potential, which may not be evident from her actions or behavior. The song also discusses the pitfalls of materialistic pursuits, hinting at the importance of seeking inner wealth over external riches. It's a reminder that true beauty and value come from within and not from our superficial appearances or possessions. 💎
