Skin
Six: A.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll be about you and oh deep down you'll know that fleeting thought is mostly true
But would you still want the attention
Swept away the marks of yesterday I wasn’t thinking straight I just need something to hold onto
If I say goodbye and kicked the chair I know I’d change the way you think of me
Then would you still want the attention
Life is pain that I can’t take
If you saw my skin and bone collage with your eyes
Would you want me then
When you fell l emptied out my box and threw away the key I'm getting choked up by the feeling
And when you died i think I died I’ve never felt so useless in my life
I couldn’t save you from your feelings
Life is pain
If you saw my skin and bone collage with your eyes
Would it still be cool to know someone who died
I can taste the tears and feel my stuttered breathes
Well fucking Jesus Christ can't forgive me for my plan

listening to this in 2023, anyone else?? banger of a song, always will be.
This song has always been personal for me, I have a thing called Dermatillomania where i pick at my skin from anxiety and sometimes depression. My arms have lots of little scars from the past picking problems and i might be getting help now but those scars will be there forever. This song helps me accept that my skin is NOT all that I am.
@nolimits300
Need to hear "If those scars could speak".It will give you the understanding that you are a unique person,there's no one like you
@saijtarbox8159
This song hit hard, really hard. As a survivor of depression, yes I said survivor because it's a constant fight, and a retired cutter, this song honestly made me cry. All people really sea is the scars on my skin, and my walls I have built around me. I can count the number of people i let in on one hand. Thank you for making thissong, and thank you for understanding our fight.
@bigbadvoodooMAGAdaddy
It's metaphorical for me, I wanted to do so many things and be good, but I hurt a lot of people on my path, I didn't achieve my dreams, it was all waste, no one ever spotted my soul, all they seen was what was on the outside.
@arlettemoya1336
all they see is scars, they don't see the angel living in your heart.
