about

“Stuck Inside” is the third single from maeve & quinn’s upcoming LP Another Door (out September 8, 2023). Written during the height of the COVID pandemic, the song navigates the challenge of reconciling our inner life — the stories we tell ourselves about what’s possible in love, work, community — with the reality in which we find ourselves (“I was thinking I could burn out; / I’m so good at being bored”). The track is restless but resolute — reaching for transformative possibility — as the Alaskan twin sisters trade vocal verses and build a playful rhythmic interplay with guitar and violin. “Stuck Inside” pushes back against feelings of disconnection and disappointment. It invites the listener to take steps forward despite uncertainty and self-doubt, to make the future one wishes to live: “I build another door / and I walk right through”.

lyrics

-- LYRICS --

i was looking for a way out /
but i couldn’t find it in love /
before i met you i was a still pond /
but now i’m rippled dry //

stuck inside / so outside of my mind /
don’t you lie / unless you lie next to me //

i was thinking i could burn out /
i’m so good at being bored /
before she left him she folded all his shirts /
drove to the ocean and undressed //

stuck inside / so outside of my mind /
don’t you lie / unless you lie next to me //

i build another door /
and i walk right through /
i build another door /
and she walks right through //
