Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know that I got you on my mind
I don't really know you baby or what you're about
But I saw you bathing naked in the moonlight
With your fingers on my skin we'll commit this sin chin to chin
For the third time if it's still to come
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
It's not like I'm obsessed or anything I might be out on a limb here
But two times not enough no to times not enough
I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
You're my neighbor so show me some love
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
It might be a forgery this memory
But if it is then let it be so
Some times when you tell a lie a lot of times
You might believe that it's true
But where does it end do we start a new begin
Where does it end
I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
You're my neighbor so show me some love
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
The song "Skinny Boy" by Isak Strand explores themes of desire, obsession, and self-perception through the lens of a poor, skinny boy from Sweden. The singer reveals his intense attraction to a girl, expressing that he genuinely wants her and can't get her off his mind. Despite not knowing much about her, he recalls a sensual moment of seeing her bathing naked in the moonlight and longs to experience that intimate connection with her again.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and vulnerability, as the singer appears to be infatuated with this girl and willing to cross boundaries to be with her. He acknowledges that he may be taking a risk by putting himself out there and pursuing her, emphasizing that he's just a poor, skinny boy. Yet, he implores her to show him some love, highlighting the idea that despite his insecurities, he desires a genuine connection with her.
The closing lines of the song ponder the nature of memories and lies. The singer questions whether the memory of the girl and their encounter might be a fabrication, but ultimately, he is willing to accept it if it means they can be together. He wonders where it all ends and if the lies they tell themselves can lead to a fresh start. The song concludes with a plea for love from the girl who is also his neighbor, indicating that he desires a connection that goes beyond physical attraction.
Overall, "Skinny Boy" reflects on the complexities of desire, self-perception, and the vulnerability that comes with pursuing someone we find captivating.
Line by Line Meaning
It's not that I don't want you baby I really do
I truly desire to be with you, my dear, it's not that I don't have any interest
I want you to know that I got you on my mind
I want you to understand that you occupy my thoughts constantly
I don't really know you baby or what you're about
Honestly, I don't have a deep understanding of who you are or your true nature
But I saw you bathing naked in the moonlight
However, I happened to witness you bathing without clothing under the moon's gentle glow
With your fingers on my skin we'll commit this sin chin to chin
When we touch intimately, we will engage in this forbidden act while our faces are close together
For the third time if it's still to come
If there is an opportunity for a third encounter, we shall indulge in this sin once more
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You possess qualities that make me desire to spend my time with someone like you
You're the kind of girl I want
You are the exact type of girl I wish to have for myself
It's not like I'm obsessed or anything I might be out on a limb here
I don't want to come across as obsessed, but I may be taking a risk by expressing my feelings
But two times not enough no to times not enough
Having met you twice is not sufficient, not even meeting you a vaguely similar number of times
I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
I am fully aware that I am merely an impoverished, slender boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
Nevertheless, since you are my neighbor, please demonstrate some affection towards me
It might be a forgery this memory
Perhaps this recollection is falsified or distorted in some way
But if it is then let it be so
If that is indeed the case, I shall accept it as such and let it be
Some times when you tell a lie a lot of times
Occasionally, when one tells a falsehood repeatedly
You might believe that it's true
One may start to believe that the lie is in fact the truth
But where does it end do we start a new begin
However, where does this cycle of deceit come to a conclusion? Should we initiate a fresh start?
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You possess qualities that make me desire to spend my time with someone like you
You're the kind of girl I want
You are the exact type of girl I wish to have for myself
I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
I am fully aware that I am merely an impoverished, slender boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
Nevertheless, since you are my neighbor, please demonstrate some affection towards me
You're my neighbor so show me some love
You are my neighbor, therefore, please express some affection towards me
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You possess qualities that make me desire to spend my time with someone like you
You're the kind of girl I want
You are the exact type of girl I wish to have for myself
