Stumble
Skinlab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The more I put you, believe thee or believe me
You didn't feel like you're the one that doesn't care
Yeah, could you mind and believe it's not forever
So tell me that the little think you aren't who you're under

Stumbling on one thing
Stumbling on one thing
One day you're stumbling, yeah!
You motherfucker, stumble

If I could jump right through your life
If I could scream right through your cries
And when I woke right over you
You're stumbling, you're fucking stumbling

Wake
You're stumbling
Wake
Yeah, you motherfucker, stumble

If I could live with no more lies
If I could scream right through your cries




And then I woke right over you
You're stumbling, you're fucking stumbling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Skinlab's "Stumble" are complex and difficult to decipher. However, it seems that the song is about a relationship that has ended badly, with one partner feeling betrayed and hurt by the other's actions. The use of words like "stumble" and "stumbling" suggests that the person in question is struggling to move on and find their footing after the breakup.


The opening lyrics, "The more I put you, believe thee or believe me / You didn't feel like you're the one that doesn't care," suggest that the singer is trying to reach out to their former partner and make amends, but the other person is putting up a wall and refusing to engage. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "You're stumbling, you're fucking stumbling," seems to be a condemnation of the other person's behavior, calling them out for their apparent inability to move on.


Overall, the song is a raw and emotional meditation on the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their own emotions and their partner's behavior, and the result is a powerful and moving piece of music.

This stuff is loud, heavy, and unintelligent. I love it.

Thanks for uploading. I can't get enough of this song. I think this was the first Skinlab song that I heard on Yahoo radio a couple years ago. Got me into them, what a band.
