Skin
De Feat. Georgia Buchanan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what I feel
You know what I really want
You are the only one
I could prefer to touch you now
But I only want to know
One thing at this point
Why I belong to you
When I cry
When I cry
For your hands on my skin
Save the only thing you can
Tell me what it is
Don't try to hide the perfect mess
Of your strange behaviour
Please tell me
Why I belong to you
When I cry
When I cry
For your hands on my skin
"Skin" is a song that speaks to the deep emotional attachment and desires between two individuals. The song opens with the lines "only you know my perverted dreams, you know what I feel." This shows that the singer has intense desires that they only feel comfortable expressing to the person they are addressing in the song. The singer acknowledges that this person is the only one who truly understands their desires and that they are the only person the singer wants to touch them.
The second verse continues to delve into the intense connection the singer feels to the person they are addressing. The singer asks the person to save the only thing they can - likely referring to their love or connection. The singer doesn't want the person to hide their "strange behavior," instead, they want to understand and know more about the person they are so deeply connected to.
The chorus of the song repeats the same lines, "please tell me why I belong to you when I cry, for your hands on my skin." This shows that the singer feels that they belong to the person addressed in the song and that they long for their touch. The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the deep emotional connection and desire the singer feels for this person.
