Meaning

During a May 2004 interview with KNAC.com, Brent Smith explained the song's meaning:

"It’s about having an unattainable dream that maybe the people around you are telling you that you can’t accomplish and you’re never going to succeed at it, and maybe they’re being that way towards you because they didn’t go after THEIR dreams. And “Fly From The Inside” is just a metaphor about believing in yourself and going after anything that seems unattainable. You have to at least try for it...because you’ll be kicking yourself in the ass if you don’t!" [http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=3009 KNAC.com Interview []
