New Skin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ludicrous times
Heat waves sweet summer heat waves
Comatose in bed
Rag-doll existence
Wrapped up limbs confining me

Beautiful dreams
Bliss around the corner
Won't allow ourselves
Not for us heaven is waiting
Sunsets and infinite love

Taunting us not for us
Wrap me up make me warm again
Imprison me with your love
Make me warm again
Please become me I'm lonely in my skin
Please become me I'm lonely in my skin
New skin

Ludicrous times heat waves sweet summer heat waves
Comatose in bed rag-doll existence
Wrapped up limbs confining me
Beautiful dreams
Bliss around the corner won't allow ourselves

Not for us heaven is waiting
Sunsets and infinite love
Taunting us not for us
I'm in the driving seat not knowing where I'm going
And you are in the driving seat not knowing where you're going
I'm in the driving seat not knowing that I'm going
Not knowing I'm going- New Skin
Ludicrous times

Overall Meaning

The first line of the song, "Ludicrous times" are indicative of the world and times that we live in. The world seems to be getting crazier every day, and the line likely represents the frustration and confusion that people feel due to the craziness. The next line talks about "Heat waves sweet summer heat waves" which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a period of intensity or passion. This line acknowledges the fact that sometimes things feel like they're at their hottest, most passionate point, yet it can still feel like we're stuck or helpless.


The following lines "Comatose in bed, rag-doll existence, wrapped up limbs confining me" paint a picture of someone who is stuck or helpless despite being in an intense moment. The metaphor of being a rag doll reinforces the helplessness the singer is feeling. The last line of this verse "Beautiful dreams, bliss around the corner won't allow ourselves" shows that despite the feelings of helplessness, there is still hope.


The next verse, "Not for us heaven is waiting, sunsets and infinite love, taunting us not for us" continues the theme of hope. It suggests that there is a better life waiting for people, but the singer is acknowledging that sometimes that better life feels so far away that it seems like it's just teasing us. The next two lines "Wrap me up make me warm again, imprison me with your love" can be interpreted in many ways. They seem to express a desire to escape the current state of things and find comfort in someone else's love.


The final lines of the song "Please become me I'm lonely in my skin, New skin" suggest that the singer is feeling alone and disconnected from others. The desire for a "new skin" could be interpreted as the desire to become someone else or escape their current skin.


Overall, the song seems to express a deep sense of frustration with the world and a desire to find a sense of comfort and belonging. Through metaphors, the song paints a vivid picture of someone who is trapped and helpless but still searching for a better life. The repeated refrain of "New skin" suggests that the singer is hoping for a fresh start or a new beginning.

Oh, I LOVE New Skin! They're definitely one of my favorite bands. I actually have this video on this two disc CD I got at Hot Topic. It's Asleep By Dawn Magazine Presents DJ Ferret's Underground Club Mix #2. This is an awesome video. I can't wait until they make more!

Dave Rawlin

This song was on a compilation CD I bought years ago. I was hooked first time I actually let it play. I never knew that it was so good. I rock this tune often, especially in the car! Sure hope they make more music. It would be a shame for them not to!

Sad Pop Fran

A blast from 2006!!! Still waiting for a comeback...

Allison

Well its on the apple store so it just possibly could.

Sad Pop Fran

I hope so.

Allison

Me too. T-T

EmBee

New Skin's self-titled debut album is excellent in its entirety. "Heavenly Made" is as sexy a song as "Free Money" by Patti Smith.

loudsonggalaxy

this song is such a banger

EmBee

You are the first other person of whom I am aware that has discovered this band recently enough if my assumption is correct. Hell yeah!
