Blending hypnotic bumps with flower petal lullabies, his sorrowful and emotional tracks feel like dancing with the lights off. Like crying and smiling at the same time. Perhaps a fitting manifesto of his music can be heard on the track โonoffonoff,โ when Keshi sings โkiss me when you hurt me.โ Emotional, heartfelt, and sincere, his bedroom blues will remain in your head for days/weeks to come.

Keshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' lost and I don't what to do now
What I chose ain't really gonna work out
Fallin' six feet underneath the floor now
Think I'm gonna tap out
Feel bad, go to bed
Wake up even worse, yeah
Feelin' like a curse
I need medicine, medicine, medicine
All my skeletons out for the taking
I don't even know if I'ma make it
I'm afraid of myself and I hate it
All my skeletons out for the taking
Somebody take 'em
I wanna ride away
The day to day is taking its toll on me
And I'm tearing at the seams
Throw it all away
Give a fuck about what they say
I gotta disagree
This ain't really fun for me
Feel bad, go to bed
Wake up even worse, yeah
So sad in my head
Feelin' like a curse
I need medicine, medicine, medicine
All my skeletons out for the taking
I don't even know if I'ma make it
I'm afraid of myself and I hate it
All my skeletons out for the taking
Somebody take 'em
The lyrics of keshi's song "Skeletons" portrays a feeling of anxiety, depression and loneliness. The songwriters utilize descriptive language to evoke intense emotions and paint a clear image of a mind that is burdened with the weight of unresolved issues. The opening lines suggest that the artist is going through a rough patch in life, and choosing a path doesn't seem to be working out. The feeling of hopelessness is prevalent, and the artist expresses a desire to give up or "tap out".
The artist portrays the typical symptoms of someone who is battling depression, where simple tasks such as getting out of bed or facing the day seem insurmountable. The recurring use of the word "medicine" indicates the need for a cure or substance to soothe the pain. The line "all my skeletons out for the taking" suggests that the artist feels exposed and vulnerable, and all their hidden secrets are out in the open for the world to see. The repetition of "somebody take 'em" implies that the artist desires someone to take away their struggles, just someone to talk to.
The chorus is an expression of resent and the desire to escape from the stresses of everyday life. The artist shifts from feeling helpless to seeking control over their life. The chorus states that they want to ride away, expressing that they want to escape all their problems. The line "I gotta disagree, this ain't really fun for me" indicates that although it may seem like they are whining, it's not all fun and games, and the struggles they face are real.
