Skin
Shallou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was losing
I kept discovering the chance of you
And what I'd give to live that second again
Just a chance to feel that skin
Feel that skin
Feel that skin
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Memories replaying
Like a movie
If I could recite the words to you
And what I'd give to live that second again
Just a chance to feel that skin
Feel that skin
Feel that skin
Feel that skin
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Oh you left me
Shallou's song "Skin" portrays the journey of an individual who is coming to terms with a lost love. The opening lines "I'm done fighting, I was losing" express the feeling of giving up on the relationship that was once fought for. The singer then reflects on the different experiences shared with the partner, and specifically the moments when they felt the warmth of their skin. The repeated phrase "Feel that skin" highlights the significance of being close to someone, and how that can leave an indelible impact on the psyche.
However, the song takes a melancholic turn with the following lines: "Oh you left me". The memories of the relationship replay in the singer's mind like a movie, and the longing to go back is almost tangible: "And what I'd give to live that second again". The use of repetition adds to the emotional depth of the song and accentuates the sense of loss that is being expressed. Overall, the song speaks to the common human experience of experiencing heartbreak and reminiscing on past memories with sorrow.

I'm done fighting
I've reached a point where I can no longer keep struggling
I was losing
My situation was getting worse and more difficult
I kept discovering the chance of you
I kept finding the possibility that you and I could be together
And what I'd give to live that second again
I wish that I could go back in time and experience that moment again
Just a chance to feel that skin
All I want is the opportunity to touch your skin one more time
Oh you left me
You abandoned me and left me alone
Memories replaying
The memories of us keep playing back in my mind
Like a movie
The memories are vivid and clear, almost like they are being played on a screen
If I could recite the words to you
If only I could remember everything we said to each other
And what I'd give to live that second again
Once again, I long to relive that moment
Oh you left me
You left me behind and moved on without me
