Skin
Lume Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gone
You're with me then gone, then gone
You're with me then gone, then gone
You're with me then gone, then gone

Caught
Caught in what's real and what's not
Skyscraper towering us
What do we learn when we're lost?

Give me, give me a piece of this
Bright-eyed with the rhythm of him
Skyline and horizon please
We'll find out, finding our own skin

Give me, give me a piece of this
Hold fast while we dive right in
Outlined with my fingerprints
We'll find out, finding our own skin

We'll find out, finding our own skin

Lung
Got two but you leave me with none
You've taken and given and won
A cycle of waiting and want

Count
Count 24 hours, count down
You're with me, then bound, then bound
Oh, how do we know when we're found?

Give me, give me a piece of this
Bright-eyed with the rhythm of him
Skyline and horizon please
We'll find out, finding our own skin

Give me, give me a piece of this
Hold fast while we dive right in
Outlined with my fingerprints
We'll find out, finding our own skin

We'll find out, finding our own skin




We'll find out, finding our own skin
We'll find out, finding our own skin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lume's song 'Skin' describe the struggle to find oneself amidst the chaos of life. The singer is caught between what is real and what is not, represented by the towering skyscraper that looms over them. They feel lost, but are searching for a way to understand themselves and their place in the world. The title of the song, 'Skin', comes from the idea that the singer is searching for their own identity, their own skin, in a world that seems to define them by external factors.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "give me, give me a piece of this," which can be interpreted as the singer's desire to understand the world around them and their place in it. The lyrics also reference the skyline and the horizon, which can represent the future and the possibilities that come with it. The idea of finding one's own skin is further emphasized in the line "outlined with my fingerprints," which suggests that the singer is trying to create something that is uniquely theirs.


Overall, the lyrics to 'Skin' are about the struggle to find oneself in a world that can be overwhelming and confusing. The singer is searching for their own identity and trying to understand their place in the world, and the song is a reflection of that journey.
