King.Kidd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
Oh my my my my heart
I'm tired of the surface love
Full of conditions
Can I just be true for once
Let my guard down
I want to do it
But not just for any
Fear of being abandoned
I push away
But for good reason normally
Don't wanna run
I'm ready for that one
Satisfy me feed my mind
Be the queen that I've been missing
Love me like Jilly uplift me like Badu
And I swear I'm not going anywhere
We can just go head say I do
Hell I'm stuck like glue
Pretty Smiles make me fall into
Temptation
And I got the best friend in you
So we can ride this through
Yea Yea
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
You resonate with the moon
I with sun
Even though we're night and day
Somehow we balance out the world
Our paths connected beyond the physical
I remember when
Damn
Dreamed about you
Before we met
Instantly in love
You said hi my name is
And I've been thinkin bout you ever since
You connect with my essence
Getting deeper
You're under my skin
My twin flame
The Queen to my King
You just
Get me more than my soul mate ever did
Damn how the tables turn
Can I make you apart of my world
My muse
Your eyes begging me to let you in
Ya love erasing my resentment
You just let the King heal
And show you a love certifiably minted
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
I try to climb into your skin
I remember when
Time slipping by
The clock speeding up
It's like a bomb
Set to
Self destruct
But no one takes the second
To think a second
Save the broken
Embrace freedom
While it lasts
Like the last stand
These mutants
So desperate for a system
That praises separation
Silent and invisible chains
I remember when
I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating of your your your your heart
Take it slow
Take it slow
In the song "Skin" by King.Kidd, the lyrics express the desire to truly understand and connect with someone on a deep level. The opening line "I try to climb into your skin" reflects the longing to empathize with another person's experiences and emotions. This desire for a deeper connection is emphasized by the repetition of the line "I remember when," indicating a reminiscence of a previous connection or longing for a past connection.
The lyrics also touch upon the artist's weariness with superficial relationships that come with conditions and barriers. The line "I'm tired of the surface love, full of conditions" suggests a longing for authenticity and vulnerability. The artist wants to let their guard down and break down their own emotional walls, but fears the possibility of being abandoned by doing so. This fear of abandonment manifests in a tendency to push people away, but there is a recognition that it is for good reason.
The song also portrays a passionate love and adoration for someone who is described as a queen, using references to the R&B singers Jilly (Scott) and Badu (Erykah Badu). The lines "Love me like Jilly uplift me like Badu" indicate a desire to be uplifted and loved deeply by this person. The artist expresses a commitment, stating "And I swear I'm not going anywhere," and a sense of attachment, being "stuck like glue" in this relationship.
The lyrics suggest that the connection between the artist and their love interest is profound and surpasses physical boundaries. The line "Our paths connected beyond the physical" portrays a spiritual or soulful connection that goes beyond the surface. This connection is described as a twin flame, a deep connection between two souls. The artist sees this person as their muse, someone who understands and resonates with their essence on a level their soulmate never could.
Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in focus to a more reflective and philosophical perspective. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and the fleeting nature of time as the clock speeds up like a ticking bomb set to self-destruct. It is a call to action to embrace freedom and save the broken, while recognizing the societal systems that promote separation and invisible chains.
Overall, "Skin" by King.Kidd explores themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the search for a deeper connection with another person. It also delves into the complexities of love, the fear of abandonment, and the desire for genuine and meaningful relationships that go beyond surface-level connections.

Rescuing those who are wounded and damaged
Embrace freedom
Accepting and embracing liberation
While it lasts
Taking advantage of freedom before it disappears
Like the last stand
Symbolizing a final defense or resistance
These mutants
Metaphorically representing societal outcasts and rebels
So desperate for a system
Longing for a structure or order
That praises separation
Valuing and glorifying division
Silent and invisible chains
Institutionalized restrictions and limitations
Take it slow
Advocating for a gradual and patient approach
Take it slow
Advocating for a gradual and patient approach
