Flesh
Tenishia & Jan Johnston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touch me
The light is going blue
Morning approaches
The pain's still here
I'm empty, empty, empty
Of laughter and tears
I've nothing left
I'm empty, empty, empty
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me, one last time
Before I take my flesh away
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me, one last time
Kiss me, one last time
I want wisdom on tap
Flowing like water
Strange I want that because
I'm empty, empty, empty
So now eat your words
I hope you choke
I feel nothing no more
I'm empty, empty, empty
Baby, I can hardly recognize myself
Touch me
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me, one last time
Before I take my flesh away
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me, one last time
Kiss me, one last time
The lyrics of Tenishia & Jan Johnston's song "Flesh" depict a person who is going through immense pain and emptiness, finding solace in death. The lyrics start with the singer admitting that they can hardly recognize themselves, suggesting that they might have gone through some significant and life-altering experience. The line "touch me" implies that the singer is seeking comfort and support, probably from a lover or someone they trust. The following lines, "the light is going blue, morning approaches," suggest a state of melancholy and sadness, as the singer might be going through a difficult time or heading towards the end of their life.
The chorus of the song, "Heaven is forbidden, but I'm going soon, kiss me one last time before I take my flesh away," depicts the singer's intention to end their life. The repetition of the line "empty, empty, empty" throughout the song emphasizes the emptiness and lack of fulfillment the singer is feeling, which could have led them to contemplate death as a way out. Moreover, the line "I want wisdom on tap flowing like water" depicts the singer's desire for knowledge and understanding, which might have been unfulfilled or inaccessible to them, contributing to their disappointment.
The final verse of the song, "so now eat your words, I hope you choke, I feel nothing no more, I'm empty, empty, empty," suggests that the singer has had issues with someone who has hurt or disappointed them. This person might have contributed to the singer's emptiness and sadness, but now the singer has reached a point where they no longer feel anything for them. In conclusion, the song "Flesh" portrays a person going through immense pain and emptiness, considering death as a way out, seeking comfort from an unknown person, and hoping for wisdom and knowledge.

Baby, I can hardly recognize myself
I feel lost and disconnected from who I am
Touch me
Help me feel something real and tangible
The light is going blue
The darkness is closing in and taking over
Morning approaches
A new day is coming, but the pain remains
The pain's still here
I'm still hurting and suffering
I'm empty, empty, empty
I feel hollow and devoid of emotion
Sounds of the world
The noises of life around me
Of laughter and tears
Expressing joy and sorrow
I've nothing left
I feel drained and depleted
Heaven is forbidden
I'm not allowed to escape or find peace
But I'm going soon
I'm planning to end it all soon
Kiss me, one last time
Give me some affection and intimacy before I go
I want wisdom on tap
I desire constant access to knowledge and insight
Flowing like water
Easily accessible and abundant
Strange I want that because
It's odd that I'm seeking wisdom when I feel empty inside
So now eat your words
I've proven you wrong and made you regret your words
I hope you choke
I wish you would suffer like I am
I feel nothing no more
I'm numb to everything and nothing matters anymore
Heaven is forbidden
I can't find peace or relief in the afterlife
But I'm going soon
My time on earth is coming to an end
Kiss me, one last time
Let me feel loved and cherished one final time
Kiss me, one last time
Kiss me again before I'm gone

Ahhh. baby, i can hardly recognize myself
Mmmmmmmm... touch me
The light is going blue.
Morning approaches.
The pain's still here.
I'm empty - empty - empty.
Sounds of the world,
Of laughter and tears.
I've nothing left.
I'm empty - empty - empty.
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me one last time
Before i take my flesh away
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me one last time
Kiss me one last time
I want wisdom on tap, flowing like water
Strange i want that because
I'm empty - empty - empty.
So now eat your words,
I hope you choke.
I feel nothing no more.
I'm empty - empty - empty.
Ahhh. baby, i can hardly recognize myself
Mmmmmmmm... touch me
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me one last time
Before i take my flesh away
Heaven is forbidden
But I'm going soon
Kiss me one last time
