Skin
Seraphina Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy I think I'm falling
For you
Oh lord can you hear me calling
Lord can you hear me calling
To you
Give me one more chance to be good
I promised I would
Give me one more chance to be rid of him
'Cause he's under my skin
But that don't mean he'll win
Oh man it came on without warning
He appeared and stole all of my mornings
Felt like I had drugs running through my blood
Running down my spine
Running through my eyes
And in between my thighs
How could I resist such a perfect high
Give me one more chance to be good
I know that I should
I promised I would
Give me one more chance to be rid of him
'Cause he's under my skin
But that don't mean he'll win
It felt like an avalanche
Running through my limbs
And I can't tell where he ends and I begin
It seems so silly it's a sin
'Cause I can't help but give in
Oh how I love the giving in
Just give me one more chance to be good
I know that I should
I promised I would
Just give me one more chance to be rid of him
'Cause he's under my skin
God I hope he wins
Oh give me one more chance to be good
I know that I should
But I don't know if I could
Give me one more chance to be good
I know that I should
In "Skin" by Seraphina Simone, the singer is seemingly struggling with falling in love with someone who they know is not good for them ("give me one more chance to be rid of him"). The opening lines are repeated twice, emphasizing the singer's uncertainty and lack of control over their emotions. They call out to both God and the person they are falling for, seeking guidance and validation.
The second verse describes the singer's experience with this person, comparing it to a powerful drug that is coursing through their entire body. They are completely consumed by this feeling and unable to resist it. The chorus is repeated again, with the singer asking for another chance to resist this person's hold on them. They acknowledge that giving in to this person's appeal may be a sin, but it's a sin they can't help but commit.
