Skin
Grimes/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soft skin you touch me within
And so I know I can be human once again
I know you're faced with something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin you touch me once again
And somehow it stings 'cause I know it is the end

I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?
You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me

And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on the heart
And you can't, and you can't
(These are our)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't (these are our falling secrets)
See the weight on my heart
And you can't
See the weight in the trees

Soft skin
I'll have you be near my heart
Until I feel human
Soft skin, oh
You were never in love to begin with
So now I'm suffering

Oh you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
(These are our) See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
(These are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
And you can't, and you can't (these are our)
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
(These are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my leaves (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
(These are our)
(These are our)

Soft skin you touch me within
So I know I can be human once again
I know you're faced with something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin, you touch me once again
And somehow it stings 'cause I know it is the end
I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?




You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me

Overall Meaning

In "Skin," Grimes sings about feeling human again, thanks to a person's touch. The soft skin they touch her with makes it so that she is no longer consumed by something that is overwhelming her. While the touch temporarily helps her, Grimes knows it can't last because she and the toucher are at the end of their relationship. However, as she mourns the possible loss, the person acts like nothing ever happened. Grimes implores them to talk to her because what they had meant the world to her.

I love how the walkers realistically begin to rot away and slowly fall apart as the show continues

@i_3at_5oap80

They would have rotted away within months if it were real

@bbunjamin4111

​@@i_3at_5oap80 Walkers rot less quickly because they starve less quickly. We see this because of the commander's doctor

@iluvbear6792

And there's bajillion walkers out there
