Under Your Skin
Satchel Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when it was hard to stay indifferent
Now I try to find the reasons I should give a shit
And in your mind you thought that time would do us right
But it's easy when you're on the other side

We look to the sky the truths and lies are insignificant
And you try to make a change but there's no difference
We might be wrong the beat goes on and it's all right
And in time we just might find we both are right

I don't know

Ba ba ba da di da

We look to the sky the truths and lies are insignificant
Despite all the scars and pain the heart remains indifferent
It works just fine push down the line and it's all right
And the morning comes and I'm right back by your side.

I don't know





Ba ba ba da di da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Satchel Grande's song "Under Your Skin" appear to be about a relationship that has lost its spark, but the two parties involved are struggling to let it go. The first line suggests that there was a time when the singer was emotionally invested in the relationship, but now they are trying to find reasons to care. The second line is a bit of a turning point, indicating that the singer is now trying to make an effort to stay connected. However, the line "But it's easy when you're on the other side" hints that the other person in the relationship may not be as invested.


The second verse continues to explore the theme of indifference. The line "You try to make a change but there's no difference" suggests a sense of futility, as neither person can seem to break out of the cycle they find themselves in. Despite this, the chorus seems to offer a glimmer of hope, with the phrase "We both are right" suggesting that there may be a way to reconcile their differences.


Overall, the lyrics of "Under Your Skin" seem to express a feeling of resignation, as if the relationship has reached a stalemate but neither party wants to end it.
