Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your scars don't look too bad tonight.
You found a place to hide
In the shadows, where you lie.
You stumble as you walk, Christina,
It's such a crying shame.
Nature deprived you of all elegance & grace...
A dead star will fall,
For the ugliest angel of them all.
Your father breaks your heart,
He keeps you and your love apart.
And though you want to cry,
You just smile and close your eyes.
The whispers in the daytime turn to laughter in the night,
You don't fight, yeah,
You just hide.
The lyrics of Zombina and the Skeletones's song Christina are a poignant reminder of the emotional and physical scars that can plague individuals. Christina is seemingly the singer of the song, and we learn that she has suffered deeply both emotionally and physically. Despite this, there is a sense of hope within the song, with the chorus acknowledging that Christina's scars don't look too bad tonight. The shadows in which Christina hides are a metaphor for the emotional darkness that she finds herself trapped in.
The second verse talks about how Christina's father is the source of her heartbreak. He keeps her from the person she loves and cherishes, and Christina feels powerless to do anything but smile and close her eyes. Even in the daytime, Christina is constantly plagued by whispers and snickers, leading her to retreat into herself and hide away.
This song is an excellent and moving example of how music can be used to convey emotion and capture the struggles of individuals. It shows the power of music to relate to people and help them through tough times.

Christina, don't you cry,
Don't be sad, Christina.
Your scars don't look too bad tonight.
Your wounds don't seem too severe this evening.
You found a place to hide
You discovered a spot to conceal yourself.
In the shadows, where you lie.
You're crouched in the darkness.
You stumble as you walk, Christina,
You're clumsy as you walk, Christina.
It's such a crying shame.
It's heartbreaking to see.
Nature deprived you of all elegance & grace...
You lack beauty and composure, thanks to nature's gift.
Down from the sky,
From above...
A dead star will fall,
A lifeless meteor will drop,
For the ugliest angel of them all.
For the most unattractive angel in existence.
Your father breaks your heart,
Your father shatters your emotions,
He keeps you and your love apart.
He keeps you and your lover separated from each other.
And though you want to cry,
And though tears are tempting,
You just smile and close your eyes.
You grin and shade your eyes.
The whispers in the daytime turn to laughter in the night,
The hushed conversations during the day mock you at night,
You don't fight, yeah,
You don't put up a fight,
You just hide.
You just disappear from view.
