You don't explicitly say "outside" in S1, there is "you step out into life", so why an explicit "inside"? You have "time drips somewhere in a cave" (lovely line, by the way). For me, that's contrast enough.
You also have "in here" in the first stanza, so "inside" is implied for the next part.
And yes, synaesthesia is a damned sexy word
