Skin
Rag'n'Bone Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding me like this
With poison on your lips
Only when it's over
The silence hits so hard
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
It was almost love, it was almost
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game?
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now
It's hard to tell
Yeah we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
While I reached out for your hand
When the walls were caving in
When I see you on the other side
We can try all over again
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
The lyrics of Rag'n'Bone Man's song "Skin" tell a story of a love that almost was, a relationship that was so close to being realized but ultimately fell short. The song starts with a verse describing a moment when the singer hears a sound, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the walls coming down and the world changing. In that moment, he can't help but think about the one he almost loved.
The chorus repeats the idea that it was almost love but never quite got there. The next verse describes a moment of surrender to that love, feeling shackled by it but also overwhelmed by the power of the other person. The silence that follows the end of the relationship is described as hard and hits the singer like a ton of bricks.
The bridge of the song presents a metaphor of bleeding themselves in vain, playing a tragic game where love is lost. The singer reflects on how the relationship nearly fell so far and how difficult it is to tell what went wrong. The song ends with a hopeful verse, suggesting that they could try all over again and reach out for each other's hands.
Overall, the lyrics of "Skin" explore the complexities of love and relationships, capturing the heartbreak of coming so close to something special but not quite getting there.

Holding me like this
You're holding me so tightly that I can't move or breathe.
With poison on your lips
Your love is toxic, and it's slowly killing me from the inside out.
Only when it's over
The pain doesn't hit me until it's too late and there's nothing left to be done.
The silence hits so hard
When the chaos is over, the silence is deafening and it's almost unbearable.
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
Our relationship was almost something amazing, but it wasn't quite there.
When I run out of air to breathe

It's your ghost I see
You haunt me, even as you're no longer in my life.
We bleed ourselves in vain
We hurt ourselves over and over again, even though it's pointless.
How tragic is this game?
Our relationship is like a game that neither of us can win, and it's a tragedy.
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
I'm clinging to someone else, but it's not the same as holding on to you.
But the love is gone
Our love has died, and it's not coming back no matter how much we try.
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
I'm struggling to keep going, even though I feel like I'm weighed down by a heavy burden.
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now
We came so close to making it work, but we're now so far apart that it doesn't seem possible.
It's hard to tell
I'm not sure what the future holds for us, or how we can move forward from here.
While I reached out for your hand
In my moment of need, I thought you would be there for me.
When the walls were caving in
As everything around me fell apart, I thought you would be the one to hold me up.
When I see you on the other side
When I think about the afterlife, I hope that I'll be reunited with you.
We can try all over again
Maybe in another life, we'll have a chance to make things work between us.

Just to sing along :
Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding me like this
With poison on your lips
Only when it's over
The silence hits so hard
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
It was almost love, it was almost...
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game?
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now
It's hard to tell
Yeah we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see

Shackled by your love
桎梏於你的愛
Holding me like this
讓我無法自拔
With poison on your lips
你如毒藥般的唇
Only when it's over
當我們走向終點

We bleed ourselves in vein
How tragic is this game
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load
With wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far
Now it's hard to tell
Yeah we came so close
It was almost love
It was almost love

About you
Because it was almost love
It was almost love
It was almost love
It was almost love.
