It's about love gone sour.

As for the title "Skinny Love" it could be an affectionate term he gave his petite girlfriend, or maby the fact that their love is wasting away- shrinking to skinny. The latter is probably more likely, due to the reference in the first line ("Come on, skinny love just last the year").

"pour a little salt, we were never here" Salt has healing properties, when put on open wound they help the process along. Probably metaphorically speaking, he wants this doomed relationship to heal, to even "Just last the year." I like the vivid imagery to blood and crushed veneer in a sink, as if a vase was broken in a fit of rage. I dunno if that ties into the salt reference, maby indirectly.
he then basically tells her to let him go, to cut off the tethers binding him to her.
the third stanza deals wih a blaming the other for the failure of the relationship. She couldn't meet with his expectations, either that or she treated him poorly, probably both.
stanza four seems like a mixture of memories, stating why have we gone wrong when we once loved each other? and how even though the burden of pain (through separating) is heavy, it's still hard to "split."
The last part gives us a glimse as to WHY it went sour. it seems she kind of led him on, that she wasn't that into him- when he really cared for her.
He then states that its unlikely she'll find anyone worthwhile, no one will be able to love her for all the stuff she puts her partners through.
wonderfully honest and emotional, i love this song.
finally a song about loving the other. cool track!

you're no good is very clearly about someone with depression and how they let misery consume their life. it's to the point where it gets in the way of being in a happy relationship. the singer falls into a deeper depression and develops suicidal tendencies (downright trying to commit via car crash) this misery is "personified" by sascha's lines. most would assume this is who the you're no good part is directed to but the singer is talking about themself. wallowing in misery and self loathing the singer only reiterates these negative feelings and never moves past them

A lot of people have told me a lot of different meanings.. But what I always took away from this song, was that it's about changing someone for the worst, and feeling so guilty you want to die.

For example, let say you had a drug habit, but never got yourself into a bad situation, just recreation and that it. But you turned someone onto this drug, and they turned into a major junky. "I watched you change into a fly" To me is like "I watched you become this filthy creature", and "it's like you never had wings", Maybe...

"I watched you change into a fly" To me is like "I watched you become this filthy creature", and "it's like you never had wings", Maybe it's like "i used to see you as an angle, now I see you as a fly". Tearing off the wings, making this person this broken, damaged creature. And all you have left if your guilt for letting this happen to someone.
That's what I took from this.
