Some Type Of Skin Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Hit me hard where I am soft
Should my heart reveal itself to be
More than a muscle
Or a fist covered in blood?
However much it feels to bleed
It's only temporary
[Pre-Chorus]
We're good people
And we both deserve peace (Peace)
[Chorus]
My god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
My god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
[Verse 2]
I guess I should build some type of skin
And let breath be air
And love the things I know might disappear
And the last light of the sun (Sun)
I let it slow me down
I'll crawl where everybody runs
[Pre-Chorus]
We're good people
And we deserve peace
It's difficult, it seems
[Chorus]
My god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
My god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
My god, my god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
My god, it's a lot
(To build some type of skin, I got to build some type of skin)
My god, my god
[Outro]
(It's a lot)
(It's a lot)
My god, it's a lot
(It's a lot, a lot to me)
(To me)
[Verse 1] introduces the idea of vulnerability by addressing the challenge of revealing one’s true self beyond physical appearances. It suggests that emotional pain, though intense, is temporary, and that deeper, more enduring aspects of one's self must be acknowledged and protected.
[Pre-Chorus] reinforces the notion of deserving peace and the inherent goodness in people, establishing a hopeful perspective amidst the struggle. It highlights the idea that, despite the difficulties in building emotional resilience, both individuals are worthy of finding peace.
[Chorus] repeatedly emphasizes the difficulty of the process, using the metaphor of "building some type of skin" to represent the effort needed to protect oneself emotionally. The repetition underscores the enormity of the task and the ongoing nature of the struggle.
[Verse 2] extends the metaphor of building emotional resilience, suggesting that one must learn to appreciate fleeting moments and accept limitations. It acknowledges the challenge of moving at one's own pace while others might rush, reflecting a personal journey toward self-acceptance and emotional stability.
[Outro] reiterates the central theme of the song, with a focus on the emotional weight of the process. The repetition of "My god, it's a lot" reinforces the song’s message about the significant effort required to build emotional strength and navigate personal challenges.
