The way I interpret it (which is probably not the same interpretation its author had in mind as he was writing the song yet is how I get to related to myself). This song, to me, is about best friends who fell in love but know they're never really going to be together. However, they have already crossed a very delicate line between friendship and lovers. Skinny love refers to a love who is too fragile and complicated to make it too far. As a girl, I'll give out my interpretation of this song in such situation from a girl's point of view. So.. the girl would like to try to make it work or at least would like to keep seeing her friend for a little longer even if they don't make it concrete that they're in a relationship with each other. Come on skinny love just last the year -----> Let's keep seeing each other for a little longer. Pour a little salt we were never here ---> we'll pour a little salt to heal the hurt this relationship is causing us. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer -----> even though is a little late to not be hurting. I tell my love to wreck it all ----> I try to tell myself that it doesn't matter what the odds are, Cut out all the ropes and let me fall----> let's just give in and fall in love freely. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right in the moment this order's tall ---> I know right now though it seems to be impossible . " the order is 'tall'", or 'large', difficult. I told you to be patient ---> maybe she told him to be patient, maybe if they wait it out they can work things out. I told you to be fine ---> to keep himself collected. I told you to be balanced ---> and balanced; again, collected. I told you to be kind -----> to be nice to themselves and not feel guilty. In the morning I'll be with you -----> She'll always be there for him, regardless But it will be a different "kind" ----> but things will change and she'll try to see him as a friend. I'll be holding all the tickets - --> she knows she's going to regret that they never tried to work things out, so she will be left with all the regret 'tickets'. And you'll be owning all the fines ---> and he will own all the "fines".. while she's gonna be sad regretting everything that happened, he's gonna be moving on, maybe even forget their romance, or maybe even brag about one more number in his list of past lovers. Come on skinny love what happened here ----> what happened to "our love" (this line is why I think he's moving on while she's still "holding all the tickets.") Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere----> she still had some hope they'd be together some day but he moved on faster than her. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Sullen load is full; so slow on the split - to slow down on the split, to slow down how distant he's getting and how fast he's forgetting her I told you to be patient I told you to be fine I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind Now all your love is wasted? ---> That was it ? She thought his love for her was bigger. Then who the hell was I? ----> then what was she to him, really, all along? Now I'm breaking at the britches And at the end of all your lines Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall far behind? ---> I think these speak for themselves. Come on skinny love My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my |
