Skin
False Puppet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember my skin?
Trust a fallacy, a fantasy
Harming you straight from within
And all my sin
Now you don't belong
Do you remember my bones?
Oh, the color and the texture of
My fingers exposing the wounds

And all we've done
Now you were the one
Do you remember my skin?
Do you remember my skin?
It all relieves, he feels much better
Do you remember my blood?
I'm expendable
Replaceable
So fuck me, and leave me alone
I knew you would
Now you don't belong
Do you remember my blood?
Do you remember my blood?
Far away, he finds himself in the dirt
And oh, he's thinking
It all goes away if he says this doesn't hurt
He's thinking
Sinking
It all relieves in paradise Paradise Far away, he finds himself in the dirt
Oh, he's thinking

It all goes away if he says this doesn't hurt
Oh, he's sinking

Overall Meaning

False Puppet's "Skin" seems to be a song about regret, pain, and longing for someone who used to be important but is no longer in one's life. The repetition of "Do you remember my skin?" and "Do you remember my blood?" creates a sense of desperation as the singer tries to hold on to the memory of the person they once were with. It is as if the singer is desperately trying to hold on to any memories of this person by questioning if they remember specific details of them.

The lyrics "Trust a fallacy, a fantasy, Harming you straight from within" indicates that the relationship was based on an illusion or lie, and it was ultimately harmful. The line "I'm expendable, replaceable" suggests that the singer feels disposable to the person they are referring to in the song. The repetition of "Now you don't belong" emphasizes the pain of losing someone who once belonged to you and is now no longer yours.

The bridge, "Far away, he finds himself in the dirt, oh, he's thinking, it all goes away if he says this doesn't hurt..." indicates that the singer is trying to move on from the pain of the lost relationship by suppressing his feelings. He has found himself in a dark place, mentally and emotionally, and is trying to convince himself that the pain will go away if he ignores it.

Overall, False Puppet's "Skin" is a raw and emotional song that touches on the pain of losing someone and the struggle to move on from the pain they have inflicted.
