Skin
Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wear my skin like it's not a problem
Or is it a problem for you?
My past writes the page I walk on

Today writes the past for
I wage my war in the name of living
Or is it the killing you choose?
The pill is a bright condition
The pain but the souls I use
(Night comes in, night comes in)
I, I wish you happiness

I, I wish you all success I do
Life will bring you all good things

Time will bring you many things
Or is it a problem for you?
My past writes the page I walk on
I wear my skin like it's not a problem

Today writes the past for
I wage my war in the name of living
The pill is a bright condition
Or is it the killing you choose?
The pain but the souls I use
I wish you well; my mind is made up for me

(The pain but the souls I, the pain but the souls)
I see your hell; my mind is made up to be
I know your pain; my mind is made up for me
I see your hate; my mind is made up to be

Punch back punch back
You're so fucking easy, punch back throw
Punch back punch back

You're so fucking easy, punch back throw
Punch back punch back
You're so fucking easy, punch back throw
Punch back punch back
You're so fucking easy, punch back

I wear my skin like it's not a problem
Or is it a problem for you?
Today writes the past for
My past writes the page I walk on
Or is it the killing you choose?
I wage my war in the name of living




The pain but the souls I use
The pill is a bright condition

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Silence's song Skin seem to be grappling with the idea of identity and how we present ourselves to the world. The first line "I wear my skin like it's not a problem" suggests that the singer is comfortable with who they are and how they look, but the following line "Or is it a problem for you?" hints at the possibility that society may reject them for this. The singer then speaks about their past and how it shapes their present, but also acknowledges that they have agency in creating their own future. The line "I wage my war in the name of living" suggests that the singer is actively pushing back against societal expectations and living life on their own terms. However, there is a dark edge to this sentiment with the line "Or is it the killing you choose?" which could speak to the idea of self-destructive behavior or perhaps the toll that living in opposition to society can take. The chorus is hopeful, with the singer wishing the listener happiness and success, while acknowledging that the past can never truly be erased.


The second verse of the song seems to be about empathy and understanding, with lines like "I wish you well; my mind is made up for me" and "I know your pain; my mind is made up for me" indicating a desire to understand and connect with others. However, this sentiment is then contrasted with the aggressive and violent language of the "Punch back" chorus. This could suggest that the singer is wrestling with conflicting desires – the desire to connect and empathize with others, but also the desire to fight back against those who would reject or harm them.


Overall, the lyrics of Skin are complex and open to interpretation. They seem to be grappling with themes like identity, empathy, agency, and self-destruction. The song is both hopeful and dark, with moments of connection and moments of violence.
