Never having played an instrument difficulties were preassigned. But with the ambition to make girls go crazy, they finally began to observe and to study the performances of other bands.
They call themselves „Charlotte“ with good reason: girl names are more attractive - „Charlotte“ sounds good and is above all the ex girlfriend.

Charlotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk through the water or thats what it seems.
When I stop to breathe the air, goes through my mouth the fire in my head cus'
You told me I'd be a better man then I was
You told me I'd be a better man then I was
Take me to the water oooh
Take me to the river oooh
Take me to the water oooh
Take me to the river oooh
Take me oooh under your skin
Long strings and broken things
I step to the beat of the bird that sings
And if I stopped to look around
Walls of the city would burn to the ground
You told me I'd be a better man that I was
You told me I'd be a better man that I was
Take me to the water oooh
Take me to the river oooh
Take me oooh under your skin
Take me to the water oooh
Take me to the river oooh
Take me oooh under your skin
Hmm
You told me
Hmm
You told me
Hmm
You told me
Hmm
You told me
Hmm
The first verse of Charlotte's song Skin sets the scene of someone chasing their dreams, feeling like they're walking through water due to the weight of their own ambition. When they take a moment to breathe in the air, it's like fire hits their head. This could figuratively represent the burning passion and intensity of their pursuit, or the stress and pressure that comes with trying to achieve great things. The chorus then pleads for someone to take them to the water or the river, under their skin, suggesting a desire for intimacy and vulnerability. The repetition of "take me" adds to the sense of urgency, as if this connection is desperately needed.
The second verse introduces the image of broken things, possibly as a metaphor for the obstacles and setbacks that have been faced along the way. The singer steps to the beat of a bird's song, perhaps indicating a sense of following nature or intuition instead of the noise of the city. If they were to stop and look around, it seems like everything would come crashing down. Once again, the chorus repeats the plea to be taken to the water or the river, under someone's skin. The song ends with the singer repeating the phrase "You told me" several times, creating a sense of questioning and uncertainty about the relationship between the two people involved.
Overall, Skin seems to be about someone who is striving for their dreams, but is feeling the weight of the pressure that comes with that pursuit. They're looking for someone to help them feel grounded and connected, to be taken under their skin. The repeating line of "You told me" could suggest that the singer is either doubting the words of the person they're addressing, or is longing for them to reaffirm their support and faith in them. The song has a dreamy, ethereal quality to it, with a sense of urgency and yearning that comes through particularly in the chorus.
