New Skin
Beach Weather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for a lethal dose of confidence
And I've been soakin' up sadness from the sun swallowin' the sea
So I wouldn't get fucked up
So I wouldn't get fucked up
I know I know I know I know I know, what a drag
There's a place i go, in my head unknown
where my feet keep walking down this cosmic road
and I stomp these boots until they're broken in
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
I heard a digital you, found a digital me and now I'm finding a way
That i can make it more disposable
And I'm wrapped up like a tourniquette
If I could wrap my mind around the things my heart cannot defend, cannot defend
I know I know I know I know I know, what a drag
To keep it inside the fire now
There's a place i go, in my head unknown
where my feet keep walking down this cosmic road
and I stomp these boots until they're broken in
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
everything I wanna know
everything I'm trying to say
Drinking from the fountain of bitersweet misery
If I could find another truth buried underneath my feet
I'll shake the ground to take me to a beautiful infinity
I know I know I know I know I know, what a drag
To keep it inside the fire now
There's a place i go, in my head unknown
where my feet keep walking down this cosmic road
and I stomp these boots until they're broken in
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
That same lost soul in a new skin
If I could find another truth buried underneath my feet
I'll shake the ground to take me to a beautiful infinity
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful infinity
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful infinity
The lyrics to Beach Weather's song New Skin are a reflection on the desire for self-improvement and reinvention. The opening line, "Something's pulling to me, is it pulling to you, 'cause I'm overdue for a lethal dose of confidence," speaks to the restlessness and dissatisfaction felt by the singer. They feel that they need a jolt to their confidence and sense of self in order to pursue their goals and become the person they want to be.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer admitting to having been "soakin' up sadness" in an effort to avoid getting "fucked up." This suggests that they have been struggling with negative emotions and behaviors, and have been trying to protect themselves from further harm. However, they are aware that this approach is not sustainable, and that they need to find a way to move forward.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, with the singer describing a "place i go, in my head unknown" where they can find a sense of purpose and direction. They stomp their boots "until they're broken in," suggesting a determination to keep moving forward and working towards their goals. The repetition of the phrase "that same lost soul in a new skin" underscores the theme of personal reinvention and growth.
Overall, New Skin is a song that speaks to the human desire for self-improvement and growth. It acknowledges the difficulties and setbacks that can come with this process, but ultimately offers a message of hope and perseverance.
