Skin Receiver
Auf Der Maur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's see a mortal type
Receiver!
This new one's made of skin,
I can see her!
She will get eaten up by
All kind people!
Avoid the eye of contact!
She's seen it before
And she still wants more
Help came, but you can't fight fate
Can't help the skin receiver!
Crawling in, through your flesh stew,
The brew's in all of you
You're flying out of reason!
Sexy wings you beware
They'll come with reason!
The stampede crushes you!
She's seen it before
And she still wants more
Help came, but you can't fight fate
Can't help the skin receiver!
She's seen it before
And she still wants more




Help came, but you can't fight fate
Can't help the skin receiver!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Auf Der Maur's song "Skin Receiver" are cryptic and metaphorical, describing a new type of receiver made of skin. The singer warns that this receiver, which can see and be seen by others, will be devoured by "all kind people." The receiver is urged to avoid contact with others, as they have seen the consequences of such interactions before but still crave more. The singer acknowledges that help has come, but ultimately fate cannot be fought and the skin receiver cannot be saved.


The song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of putting oneself out there and making oneself vulnerable to others. The skin receiver can be seen as a representation of anyone who tries to connect with others but is ultimately betrayed or consumed by them. The idea of being seen and consumed is also echoed in the references to "flesh stew" and "sexy wings", which suggest a predatory mindset.


Overall, "Skin Receiver" is a dark and unsettling song that taps into our fears of vulnerability and betrayal. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it's better to keep to ourselves rather than risk being eaten alive by others.
