Bastille – Flaws Lyrics 12 years ago
I think that it means that he (the singer) has been ridiculed or insulted because of his flaws, so he tries to hide them (and I have always buried them deep beneath the ground). He meets someone (the person he is addressing) who accepts their flaws and doesn't care about them (you have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve) and they don't want him to be perfect, convincing him to accept himself (Dig them up. Let's finish what we've started, Dig them up. So nothings left untouched) . So they start to help him accept himself and his flaws (there's a hole in my soul I can't fill it I cant fill it, there's a hole in my soul can you fill it can you fill it) And the song shows how we all pick ourselves apart and try to be perfect when we should just accept ourselves.( look at the wonderful mess that we made, we pick ourselves undone)
