One More Tattoo
Os Catalépticos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More bones skeletons and skulls
Than a cemetery you can find
So many monsters and demons tonishing my arm
Looks like a horrible nightmare
But i'm not scary anymore, I'm not scary at all
I've lost control of my self
No control
The lyrics of Os Catalepticos's song One More Tattoo depict the singer's body as a canvas of bones, skeletons and skulls, painted through tattoos. The imagery used in the lyrics is quite evocative, as the bodies of the dead are compared to the tattoos on the singer's body. The tattoos, which depict monsters and demons, give the singer a frightening appearance to others. However, the singer asserts that they are not scary anymore - this may suggest that the tattoos are a form of self-expression and that the singer has found power and confidence through them.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly out of control. The line "I've lost control of myself" suggests that the tattoos may be a form of addiction or the singer may be struggling with mental health problems. The song ends on a note of despair, as the singer is left with "no control". The song can be read as a commentary on society's perceptions of body modification and how tattoos can be empowering, yet also divisive.

My body hides
My physical body conceals
More bones skeletons and skulls
An abundance of bones, skeletons, and skulls
Than a cemetery you can find
Exceeding the quantity of a typical graveyard
So many monsters and demons tonishing my arm
Various frightening creatures adorn my arm
Looks like a horrible nightmare
Resembling a dreadful dream
But i'm not scary anymore, I'm not scary at all
Despite my ominous appearance, I am not intimidated
And day after day is getting worst
My situation is deteriorating with each passing day
I've lost control of my self
I no longer possess mastery over myself
No control
Devoid of any autonomy
