Skeletons
MY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To you was easy to me
You say kneel and I kneel
I am down on my knees
Laughter
A cosmic game played on me
A fallen tree in the woods
Nothing near to hear or see
Skeleton key
Open everything
That I am or I'll be
You pulled me
From the depths of the sea
From the darkest abyss
From a black with purple seams
Toward your mind
To one with mine
To one with mine
Baby my tank is on empty
And I'll drive until it dies
Returning
To you was simple to me
You say kneel, I concede
I've been down on my knees
Reacting
A cosmic scale balancing
A burning field in the way
You say walk facing me
Toward your mind
To one with mine
To one with mine
Baby my tank is on empty
And I'll drive until it dies
Reverting
To you was easy to me
You say kneel and I kneel
I am down on my knees
Laughter
A cosmic game played on me
A fallen tree in the woods
Nothing near to hear or see
You are the
Skeleton key
The lyrics of My's song "Skeletons" seem to speak about a deep connection and submission to someone or something. The singer expresses how returning to this person or entity was effortless, indicating a strong bond or familiarity. The mention of kneeling suggests a surrender, an act of humility in the presence of this figure. The laughter mentioned could refer to a playful manipulation or testing of the singer's loyalty, as if they are part of a cosmic game. The image of a fallen tree in the woods, with nothing near to witness, further emphasizes the secrecy and intimacy of this connection.
The repetition of the phrase "You are the skeleton key" holds significant symbolism. A skeleton key is a type of key that can unlock multiple locks or doors, suggesting that this person or thing has the power to access every aspect of the singer's being. It implies a level of trust and vulnerability, as everything the singer is or will be is open to this figure. The mention of being pulled from the depths of the sea, the darkest abyss, and a black with purple seams shows the singer's journey from a place of darkness and despair towards this person's mind, joining their consciousness as one.
The repeated reference to the singer's tank being on empty and driving until it dies could symbolize the singer's devotion and willingness to push themselves to the limits for this connection. It reflects a sense of dedication and sacrifice, as if the singer is willing to go to great lengths to maintain this bond.
Overall, the lyrics of "Skeletons" convey themes of intense connection, surrender, and the transformative power of a deeply intimate relationship or connection.
