Thicker Skin
Sunsleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how long will you go before you lose control
Oh I don't want second best, put our heads to the test
We'll keep up with the rest
Beat till I'm black and blue, broken and bruised
I wanna get right through
Don't give in, this sun hasn't set yet
All I know we've come too far to just let go
Before too long the sun will set on its own
How deep will you swim to reach the depths of reason
And how dark will the waters get if you don't find it
We learn to sink or swim, growing thicker skin
To keep the demons in
Whether you're wrong or right we all fall out of line
And get back up again
Don't give in, this sun hasn't set yet
All I know we've come too far to just let go
Before too long the sun will set on its own
Growing thicker skin
Than what you've been living in
Oh woah oh oh
Don't give in, this sun hasn't set yet
All I know we've come too far to just let go
Before too long the sun will set on its own
Yeah
All I know we've come too far to just let go
Before too long the sun will set on its own
The lyrics of the song 'Thicker Skin' by Sunsleep talk about perseverance, determination and pushing through difficulties. In the first verse, the singer questions how far someone is willing to go to pursue their ambition and how long they can keep going before losing control. They don't want anything less than their best effort and are willing to push themselves to the limit, even if it means being beaten black and blue. The singer urges to keep going and not give up, as the sun hasn't set yet.
In the next verse, the lyrics talk about the depths of reasoning and how sometimes the waters can get too dark if one does not find the answers they seek. The lyrics attribute perseverance to growing thicker skin and keeping the demons at bay. Whether one is right or wrong, we all falter at some point, but we need to get back up again. The lyrics end with a repetition of the chorus, urging to keep going and not to let go as the sun will set on its own.
