Kidnap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm jealous of the way you seem to change.
It′s wearing on your face,
I know that you can't stay.
But that's okay,
Yeah that′s okay
You′re letting go but I'm,
Just hold me close,
For a little while.
You got under my skin,
And the love that you take in
Don′t take it off,
Til' it leaves a scar.
Under my skin,
And the love that you take in
Don′t take it off,
Til it leaves a scar.
You can have your space,
It's difficult to change.
I miss you babe.
I miss you babe.
I know I′ve said I'm fine,
A thousand times I've lied,
Like I′m okay.
But I′m not ok.
Cause,
You're letting go but I′m,
Still hung up on your smile.
Just hold me close,
For a little while.
You got under my skin
And the love that you take in
Don't take it off
Til it leaves a scar
Under my skin
And the love that you take in
Don′t take it off
Til it leaves a scar
Under my skin (under my skin)
The lyrics of Kidnap's song "Skin" touch upon the complexities of love and heartache. The singer of the song seems to be struggling with the end of a relationship and the changes that it has brought about in both partners. They realize that the other person is no longer the same person they fell in love with, and it's visible on their face. Despite knowing that their partner cannot stay with them any longer, they try to find comfort in their embrace for a little while longer.
The lines "You got under my skin, And the love that you take in, Don't take it off, Til' it leaves a scar" point towards the depth of the singer's feelings for the other person, and how they have left a permanent mark on their life. They admit that it's difficult to move on and although they try to convince themselves otherwise, they are not okay.
