Sculpture
Kooma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me something like your skin
Give me something like your eyesight
Something you will miss dearly
To carve me alive
Give me something like your skin
Give me something like your eyesight
Your ability to hear me
Rock, marble and ice

Tell me now if you can breathe okay
I'm gonna take you home
Look around, do your pupils dilate?
Good cause I'll need those

I fell off again
And I know
I'll be here for a while

I've got to know you
No, it's not you
I do this to everyone
Tell me who you are
Open up your scars
So I can free my own
Maybe if I take
One of your mistakes
Into my work of art
I will confirm it's
Suddenly perfect
You can give it a heart

Don't be so hasty
You're gonna break me
We've got to take it slow
This could take a while
It's Hollywood

Tell me now of what stuff you're made
Material and all
I wonder if we're built the same
Or not at all
I'll write you a paragraph
To thank you for your soul




I'll keep you safe behind my mask
I'll put us both on

Overall Meaning

In Kooma's song "Sculpture," the lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways. Upon first listen, one might believe the song to be about a lover or partner who the singer is asking to sacrifice a part of themselves in order to "carve" them and create a perfect sculpture. However, upon closer examination, the lyrics seem to delve deeper into the idea of art and creation itself.


The opening lines, "Give me something like your skin, give me something like your eyesight," can be seen as a request for inspiration or authenticity. The singer is asking for something genuine to use as a basis for their art. This is reinforced later in the lines "Open up your scars so I can free my own, maybe if I take one of your mistakes into my work of art, I will confirm its suddenly perfect."


The line "Tell me who you are" also supports this idea, as it suggests that the singer is seeking a deeper understanding of their subject in order to make their art more authentic. The repeated line "I fell off again, and I know I'll be here for a while" could also be interpreted as the artist struggling with their craft and continuously searching for inspiration.


Overall, "Sculpture" seems to be about the artistic process and the lengths an artist will go to in order to create something authentic and real.
