Skin
Call It Home Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are people who don't give a s*** about what you think
You felt perfect until you walked out of your house
And compared yourself to everyone else
I can't believe these vultures are getting to me
I can't believe
These vultures are getting to me
Honestly
How beautiful you truly are
And take everything
And throw it all back at their f****** faces so that they will see
Who you really are

And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called, "Yellow"
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Turn into something beautiful

Producer: Hey, sorry Chris, we got no money for a music vid.
Chris: No problem, I'll just go to the beach and walk endlessly.
Very cool, Chris.

It doesn't help that he literally didn't know where the song came from or what it means. So instead of finding meaning, it was easier just to put him on the beach. At least - that's what I think happened. Your thought was good too though.
