New Skin
Kid Rock; Methods of Mayhem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See never believe what you read the shit is spreadin' like a disease
Never feel withdrawn time to move on get your groove on say
Goodbye everything must die solidify and fly to a new level a place where love
Is unconditional physical and non-denominational
Like a snake shed my skin leave my past where
I've been...can you feel what I feel to hold on must be killed
Yeah Yeah, Yeah you! Can you feel what I feel?
Yeah Yeah, Yeah you! Can you feel what I feel?
See the kid rock bumpin' up and down
Your block with no cares long hair swingin' middle
Fingers in the air people stare n point I hit
The joint and laugh - kiss my ass, the past is
More than 10 years I've known from a complete
Unknown to the hot zone, million dollar home
And a diamond ring never thougt I'd amount to
A damn thing, I'm the man sing like Curtis
May mack on ho's like Ruby Ray, its been a
Long time comin' but you know what's happenin'...
Straight pimpin' I'm sitting five times platinum
Like a snake shed my skin leave my past where
I've been...can you feel what I feel to hold on must be killed
Don't cry over what's been spilled, can you feel what I feel?
Yeah Yeah, Yeah you! Can you feel what I feel?
Yeah Yeah, Yeah you! Can you feel what I feel? =2x
The lyrics of Kid Rock's eponymous song "Kid Rock" are a testament to the artist's self-realization and transformation. The first verse of the song begins with the line "Now I'm sheddin' my skin ya gotta listen to me ill tell ya what I see," which is a metaphor for him leaving his past mistakes behind and starting anew. The following line, "never believe what you read the shit is spreadin' like a disease," is a reference to the media's portrayal of him, and how it affects his public image. He implores listeners to not be misled by rumors and assumptions, but rather to make their own judgments about him. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Can you feel what I feel?" three times, emphasizing the artist's new-found sense of freedom and liberation.
The second verse recounts Kid Rock's journey from being a nobody on the street to becoming a multi-millionaire superstar. He says he's come a long way, but his endurance and hard work have paid off with a lavish lifestyle that he once could only imagine. He compares himself to Curtis Mayfield, a legendary musician who influenced Kid Rock's style, and brags about his ability to attract women and his success in the music industry. The chorus repeats again, urging listeners to embrace their own aspirations and follow their dreams.
The song concludes with Kid Rock's optimism about the future, and his desire for a world with "unconditional love" and equality for all. The line "solidify and fly to a new level a place where love is unconditional physical and non-denominational" is a nod to his belief that music can transcend societal barriers and bring people together. The song's catchy melody and lyrics have made it a fan favorite, but its message of perseverance and self-acceptance resonates with audiences of all ages.

And I’ve foreseen the things in life for brain

This song should've been bigger than it was. It fit perfectly into the music of the times when it came out.
@Mattnova_116
Man! Reminiscing about these times, just feeling like this was 1999 all over again. Brings back undoubtedly good memories.
@niradomaxwell1876
The music is what really makes this song. That wall of sound
@co404
Cruising the streets in the summer of 2000 in my Mazda mx6 blaring the shit out of this album. I was on top of the world. Great memories. Nearing 40 today I think it’s corney.
