To The Bone
jan and naomi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'll sip it slowly
Drown my sorrows
Oh Itβs so holy
Iβm walking bare feet
Down hourglass street
Iβm so wide eyed
At where you might be
Burnt kiss
Dripping downwards
Call me baby
After hours
Your hands are so so
They might just slip
Are you ready
For this long trip
Youβve got me craving
Them chocolate frosted doughnuts
We had sat at the station
On the way home
My eyes are glazing
I canβt control my shaking
Thereβs no way Iβll stop wanting you
Skin and bone
I might just have
Lost a moment
So busy gazing
I think it was stolen
Lips are burning
Up a fever
Talking so loud
I barely hear ya
Red lip
Burnt kiss
Dripping downwards
Call me baby
After hours
Your hands are so so
They might just slip
Are you ready
For this long trip
Youβve got me craving
Them chocolate frosted doughnuts
We had sat at the station
On the way home
My eyes are glazing
I canβt control my shaking
Thereβs no way Iβll stop wanting you
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Cherry picking
Finger licking
Drip drip dripping
In the kitchen
Bed room bandaids
Sun with no shades
Donβt be afraid
Your body needs praise
Youβve got me craving
Them chocolate frosted doughnuts
We had sat at the station
On the way home
My eyes are glazing
I canβt control my shaking
Thereβs no way Iβll stop wanting you
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
Skin and bone
The lyrics of "To The Bone" by Jan and Naomi portray a sense of longing and desire for someone who is both physically tempting and emotionally intense. The singer seems to be in a state of vulnerability and is willing to indulge in things like drinking and barefoot walking to distract from their longing. They seem equally interested in the physical connection ("Red lip, burnt kiss, dripping downwards") as they are in the emotional connection ("Your hands are so so, they might just slip").
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting because it centers around the singer's craving for chocolate frosted doughnuts, which could be seen as a metaphor for their craving for this other person. The repeated refrain of "skin and bone" seems to refer back to the idea of the singer's vulnerability in their longing, emphasizing their state of being stripped down and raw.
Overall, "To The Bone" is a song that captures the intensity of desire and the ways in which we distract ourselves from it.

I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! β€ God is good!πAmenππΎ
