Skin
Chamber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I rip at my skin with nails I gnawed short.
Claw and tear until I pluck my nerves. Unwind the fibers that hold me together. 
Slashing the sutures that have made me whole.

Dig my way out 

Blisters and sores split and bleed until I feel nothing.
Marrow aches for cleansing fire's purifying touch 

Just let go, you're nothing to everyone 
Shut your eyes, there's nothing for you here 

I wrestle with the whispers.
Hatred softly spoken.
A voice in my mind sings ""Fire has no conscience"".





Let it spread. Grow, and consume all of me. 
Dig my way out.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Skin" by Chamber delve into the depths of self-destructive tendencies and an internal struggle to escape one's own skin, both literally and metaphorically. The opening line, "I rip at my skin with nails I gnawed short," sets a tone of desperation and self-inflicted pain. It portrays a character who is so consumed by their inner turmoil that they resort to physically tearing at their own flesh, seeking release from their emotional and mental distress.


The lyrics then continue to describe a desire to unravel the very fabric that holds them together, both physically and emotionally. The act of "slashing the sutures that have made me whole" suggests a kind of self-sabotage, as if the person believes that their wholeness is an illusion and that dismantling themselves is the only way to find some sense of truth or freedom.


The chorus reveals a sense of isolation and despair, with the lines "Just let go, you're nothing to everyone" and "Shut your eyes, there's nothing for you here." It seems that the person feels insignificant and devoid of any purpose or connection to others, leading them deeper into their own internal battle.


The bridge of the song introduces a struggle with inner voices and doubts, represented by the whispering and softly spoken hatred. The line, "A voice in my mind sings 'Fire has no conscience'," suggests a complex relationship with destructive tendencies. It implies that the person is aware of the destructive nature of their actions or thoughts but also finds a certain allure or release in them.


In the closing lines, the lyrics echo the earlier theme of digging one's way out, signifying a desperate attempt to break free and escape from the pain and turmoil that has consumed them. The repeated plea to "dig my way out" suggests a yearning for liberation and a desire to leave behind the self-destructive patterns.


Overall, "Skin" by Chamber explores the internal struggle of a person who feels trapped within themselves and is seeking a way to break free from their own destructive tendencies and emotions. It paints a picture of desperation, isolation, and a longing for liberation.
