Skin Deep
Vasaria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hours and hours have past as I merge with the emptiness.
My mind runs rampant a death like cold chills me.
I stare into outer space, want imprisons my soul.
I consult myself and then return to where I once was...
Without a sound show me the way,
Without a sound show me the way,
Cradle to Grave.
I feel as if I were dead or perhaps have never lived.
My surroundings grow colder and colder for this it is my place.
Suddenly I gaze beyond my sub-mortal solitude.
More hours pass me by, they crawl past me on hands and knees...
(Chorus)
Hours continue to pass,
Said and done: cradle to grave
Looking back nothing's been won,
Sorry but... I've got to leave it all behind!
(Chorus)
The lyrics for Vasaria’s song “Skin Deep” depict a state of emptiness and isolation, as the singer struggles to find a way out of their internal turmoil. The first verse describes the singer’s mind running wild and feeling chilled to the bone, as they stare into space and feel trapped by their own desires. The line “I consult myself and then return to where I once was” suggests that the singer has tried to reflect on their situation but has failed to find a way to escape it.
The second verse adds to this sense of despair as the singer feels dead or as if they’ve never truly lived. Their surroundings become increasingly bleak and they are left in solitude, with time dragging on slowly. The repetition of the phrase “cradle to grave” emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The chorus provides a brief glimmer of hope, as the singer pleads for someone to show them the way out, before ultimately rejecting the idea that anything can be won or saved. The final line, “Sorry but... I’ve got to leave it all behind” suggests a dangerous outlook on life, as the singer seems to have given up on finding a way out of their despair and is resigned to leaving everything behind.
