Beneath The Skin
DVSR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear the walls speaking my name they seek
Wasn't it me speaking when I could feel two hearts at beat up in the back of my brain
Caught in a trap slipping through the cracks
Need to relax caught in the act and I keep thinking about it
Pushed to the brink my knees scared and body fatigues I need to fight or succumb to defeat
Is it a self-created myself I'm hating fuck wealth I'm aiming to cure my health in lamens
Is it paid in black in depth the contract
In my eyes I see nothing but him
Is it a lie is it me or is it something within
Either way not to punk and pretend but no pity for the coward who can't cover his ends
I know it seems dark, but sometimes you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
I know it seems dark, but sometimes you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
As you bask in the breeze of discontent the earth vents and blinds a clean sleet
In time you'll find the weak freeze, in the past where were leaving the waste we call grief cause
I know it seems dark, but some times you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
With the military grip one hand on the jack second hand on my axe just if I slip
Stuck deep in a pit my brain regrets, delayed defence unstable will I live?
I can't see, engrave the last scene I pray that my thoughts seize and lay in them six feet
23 long years still I beat my thoughts ripping I've never submitted into defeat, fear me
As I collect myself in broken pieces
I gaze in the mirror to liquefy this thesis, ideology me thinking I need this
Feeling inside let me iron out the creases, trust to believe that my will breaches government bases thoughts that are diseases
Caught myself in a gaze of shattered glass picking myself up now should never be a task
Extract the pitch black demand that it falls back install the white wall of strength in my core that's
White hot to handle, pure love demands you, blank mind like vandals
In time everything heals but even time shuts down and it cancels
Eye for and eye leave me blind light the candle
Search my diverse mind and hurt whatever it is paying me out now I demand you
I know it seems dark, but sometimes you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
I know it seems dark, but sometimes you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
As you bask in the breeze of discontent the earth vents and blinds a clean sleet
In time you'll find the weak freeze, in the past where were leaving the waste we call grief cause
I know it seems dark, but some times you got to fight with your whole heart
No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark
The song "Beneath the Skin" by DVSR explores the struggle of dealing with one's own thoughts and emotions. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer questions whether everything he's experienced has just been a dream. He detests his own speech, suggesting that he doesn't feel like he can communicate his feelings effectively. Throughout the song, he seems to be battling with himself and contemplating his own existence.
The lyrics also touch on themes of perseverance and hope. The chorus serves as a reminder to keep fighting, to keep striving to find a spark of hope even when things seem dark. The singer acknowledges that it's not easy, but it's necessary to try. The line "No matter how hard that it gets at the best you just strive to the spark" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of holding onto hope.
The song also delves into deeper questions about life and purpose. Lines like "Is it a self-created myself I'm hating" and "is it me or is it something within" suggest that the singer is struggling with his own identity and purpose. He feels like he's carrying a debt and can't escape his own thoughts. This introspection adds depth to the song's message of perseverance and fighting through tough times.
