Shed My Skin Lyrics

I am not alone
I live with the memories
Regret is my home
This is my true freedom
Express all the feelings of what I've become
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today

It seems I've gone away
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've really lost my way
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've...

Shed my skin
Oh, are you ready for me?
Or purge my love
Oh, are you ready for me?

A bitter sinking feeling
Awake to the fact there's no going back
To the world in which I was living
I'm searching for something, but found less than nothing
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today

It seems I've gone away
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've really lost my way
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've...

Shed my skin
Oh, are you ready for me?
Or purge my love
Oh, are you ready for me?
Yeah, 'cause I'm dying to feel
What I have lost
Oh, and what I was

All my life I've waited
Endless days have taken
Taken what made me free
Years have gone, I'm broken
Left the past unspoken
Those years...
Oh, they haunt me still

Shed my skin
Oh, are you ready for me?
Or purge my love
Oh, are you ready for me?
And shed my skin
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(All my life I've waited
Endless days have taken
Taken what made me free)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Years have gone, I'm broken
Left the past unspoken
All those years, they haunt me still)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is about starting all over after life has sunk and hit the very bottom. It's about finding light in the midst of darkness to give hope and start all again.

I agree...it's about a new beginning...starting over. "Awake to the fact there's no going back To the world in which I was living "

"Those years... Oh, they haunt me still" And yet he cannot forget his past...

Shed my skin are you ready for me? Shed the skin, the physical nature of our being. Strip away the flesh and out goes all the trappings and vices of this world. Then this is who we can become, the spiritual self guiding the animal. Instead of the other way around. The animal cage we live in is all we can see until the mind gaps the empty space between physical and spiritual, which is universal. The spiritual self is our highest form of being. Transcend and you will truly know Nirvana (not the band). Taught more in Buddhism than Christianity. But inferable through meditation and relationship with God, and knowing God through Jesus.
