Skeletons
The Generators Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is that you crawling
Outside My Window
Creeping me out tonight
How come you
Choose me to suffer
Everytime I turn out the lights

I thought I got free

I thought I got away

But you come back
To fight another day
You drag it out

You drag me down
It

Overall Meaning

seems like you'll never go away

The lyrics to The Generators' song "Skeletons" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be about someone who is being haunted by their past mistakes, or "skeletons in their closet." The first two lines suggest that this person may be experiencing paranoia or a feeling of being watched. The lyrics then go on to express the frustration and exhaustion of constantly battling these demons that seem to always come back "to fight another day."

The line "I thought I got free, I thought I got away" could be interpreted as the person thinking they had left their past behind, but the haunting memories keep resurfacing. The phrase "you drag it out, you drag me down" suggests that the weight of these past mistakes is becoming too much to bear. The song ends with the haunting suggestion that these skeletons will never truly go away.

Overall, the lyrics to "Skeletons" convey the emotional toll of unresolved issues and the difficulty of moving on from one's past mistakes.
